Sram chains come in a fairly minimal plastic clamshell. Shimano and KMC come wrapped in plastic in cardboard boxes iirc.

Bit of an over-reaction? There's lots of excessive packaging out there, I just got some Castelli socks which come in elaborate plastic bags, but a Campag chain isn't bad. It's an oily lump of metal so there's a plastic bag for that. The pin is small and easily lost so there's a tiny bag for that. All the rest is paper and card and should be recyclable.

Let's not even *think* about the lack of recycleability of carbon frames and parts...

Or 10 sheets of paper/manuals with each Shimano component, sick. And these are not even manuals, but Warnings.

Abus Aventor
Ekoi Perso Evo6

A bit disappointed that the Aventor is ~20g heavier than my Giro Synthe. Also not sure if I like the shape of it yet, particularly how very concave it is where it interfaces with your head :noidea:

Cannondale Bad Boy 2 to replace my aging Hybrid for commuting duties.

Plenty of weight to come off it though. 650grams for the seatpost and saddle alone!!

No idea yet. Over loaded the chain with it yesterday and once it settled in today it was the quietest I've ever had a bike.
