We've been a bit quiet on here recently because we've been super busy. The new 4 legged staff seem to be settling in well though

Fills a need for tech-bling? More gears=smaller gaps between gears, better for perfect cadence when racing. Less relevant for us mere mortals. hydraulics is interesting. Potential to be more reliable than cables, tougher than electrics. Time will tell. teapawt.org/ruggtomcat/status/1016…

Replying to @TheCycleService
do you think this fills a need or is just making tech-bling for the sake of it? didn't we just get electric shifting?

We are only open until midday today, sorry folks. Better weather for sledging than bikes. Here's some excellent icicles. Open as normal tomorrow.
