Bike bling

Haven't posted  for a bit due to moving house\being sick\bad weather and not really having much to post about. Winter isn't my favourite time of year to ride so I haven't been out much lately (e.g I'm lazy). However, I have crossed one more track off my list, namely Deliverance. I have one word to describe this track...EEEKKK! It's advanced and I most definitely am not. When I wasn't hanging on for dear life and crashing (ouch) , it was actually quite fun so will be back...when it's drier :) *Note, elbow and knee pads are now on my "To Buy" list along with a Gloworm X2 light*

So on the bling front, I picked up some XT M785 Brakes (and Ice Tech rotors) a few weeks back. They are AWESOME! A vast improvement over the Elixir 1's (which were in turn way better then the brakes I had on my old Avanti). I also decicded to ditch my big 44T ring and replace it with a bash guard. No real reason, I just don't used it very often. I also picked up a Park Tools PC10 repair stand to make life easier when working on the bike and cleaning it. . Ummm...that's about it for now. Pics off my phone of the new stuff
