Cranks arrived

The cliq weaponz 175mm cranks that I bought off of Facebook arrived this morning. I have cleaned them up and I will fit them tonight once I have been to my container and picked up the grease as I left it there and I have cleaned and de greased the cranks so need the grease to fit the cranks. They are not in too bad a condition for the money and will do until I can get the money to buy some new 175mm dxr cranks. I have most of my son's bike to sell so I should have the money in am month or so ready for the Brits.

My son's new bike is on its way as well so I will have a busy end to the week building bikes.

I have decided that I am going to build the Thrill frame as my training bike instead of the dialled bike as I want to get the dialled frame stripped and painted professionally to build it up later on once I have sourced replacement stickers and found somewhere to do the painting.

Also the Thrill is closer to my Yess in terms of material and geometry so it should make a better training bike.

I think I have everything to build the bike except for forks, rim tape, a tube (the one I was using exploded in the car) and some peddle washers as the cliq only came with one washer.

I am going to get the washers, rim tape and inner tube online now and the forks will have to wait until I get some cash from selling my son's bike bits that are left over.

I am now jumping into the shower ready to go to the track to do some more full laps and hopefully second straights again as it looks like there is not too much wind.

I also want to brush the start hill again and also the first berm to get them ready to race on Sunday.

I went to the track late again today. I arrived at about 12:15 did 5 pump laps and then did 6 full speed laps and was really tired after that so I did 10 first and second straights and then went home.

It was too hot for sweeping today so I left it for tomorrow. I am going to rest for a couple of days as my legs are feeling really heavy and also my tendinitis in my left knee is starting to act up so better to rest for the weekend than push it.
