Question

As above really, online or offline in the Devizes area please.

I'm after an 8 speed hyperglide compatible cassette, new chainrings and a chain.

Been out for a few rides and my extra power (beefcake ) since i last rode me bike is causing the gears to slip on some of the slightly worn rear rings (ooer)

Probably Wiggle.co.uk or ChainReaction.com, both online.

I'm getting the eaxt same stuff at the momnet, though in 9 speed rather than 8.

The woolly hat shop are excellent, and amongst the cheapest for Shimano.
Chain reaction also get my vote, as do Armstrong Bike dock

Wiggle worked out best. Plus, 10% off if you spend over £100 and free delivery.

That £100 was shockingly easy to spend though, £23 for an outer chainring! I thought prices would have dropped in the years since i was last in a bike shop.

Hi Mate

The bike shop on Sidmouth St is OK or if you can get to Andover, Behind The Bike Shed is another good outfit.

Might see you if you're out and about this weekend.

Cheers
