  Hi @speculoos, I (Simon @booter) run the Dalston Egg Shop and I'm looking for someone to help me with deliveries. It's bike based and mainly Thursdays and Fridays. Hours are flexible on those days, but evenings work best. This is what you'd be getting yourself in to. PM me if you'd like to know any more!

  Thanks @andyp, very helpful.

  I've got it set up at the moment with 32mm Gravelking SK, a sub-compact 46/30, and some time atac pedals, so sounds like I'm close enough to give it a crack.

  Am based in London so will look up the London/South East League. Thanks again.

  Questions from a CX virgin here. I'm interested in having a crack at some CX events this autumn/winter (assuming there are some), but have never ridden CX before and have no idea what the fuck I'm doing. I'd prefer not to have to buy a dedicated bike at this stage ...

  1) Could I repurpose a Fairlight Strael as a CX bike?
  2) From a 'normal' road configuration, what changes would be most useful ...

  • 1 x or smaller chainrings?
    
  • Different cassette?
    
  • CX tyres? Think there is clearance for up to 32c. Any specific suggestions?
    
    

  Thanks in advance.
