With the British University Sports Association (BUSA) mountainbike champs this weekend, it was time to break out a shiny new drivetrain for it. I got one of these beauties, a SRAM PG990 cassette. Not only does the red alloy ring carrier make it weigh less than an XTR, it is also super bling. Even more bling when my hub is clean (It is now!).

I was hoping to have a new RaceFace handlebar and stem for this weekend, but the handlebar has been delayed at the supplier, so looks like it’ll be the old stuff for the weekend. Should be good :o)
