Several posts online warned about little parts delaying a bike build, and I have found myself scrambling to find a few small parts late in the process. Fortunately, with the wheels and cranks still making their way across the pond, those little parts aren't delaying much ... yet. Recent small parts issues:
Dual cable stop - Ordered the wrong size - Reordered - Received and installed.
Front brake adapter - Ordered - Totally forgot the adapter doesn't come with the brakeset.
Light wires - Ordered - Looked locally but 2.8 mm connectors are hard to come by in my town.
Bar Tape - I'll buy locally. Even my local LBS should have bar tape.
With the (hopefully) last small parts ordered, only a few components have yet to arrive, but they are major pieces. As expected, the European sourced wheels and cranks have become the long poles in the tent. Just about everything left to do hinges on their arrival.
