Pre-Ironman help?

[Dan B]

Hi guys -

Don't post or ride much these days but I'm at a bit of a bind.

I've got the Ironman coming up on 20 August. The problem being that I am deathly skint, and my commuter (which has now become my race bike) is in dire need of repair. My litany of woes includes:

New chain
New small ring (39t)
Possible new cassette
Adjusting for new ring/chain/cassette
New bar tape
Putting on aerobars without mucking up the cabling
Removing mudguards without screwing something up
Dropping a spacer to accommodate aero position without arsing the steerer/headset

Can anyone offer any help on the above? Drop me a PM ...

I've been looking for permanent work for five months, am very close to landing something, but can't afford to walk into Butler's looking for pity. Or credit.

Thanks,

Dan
