  Not sure the Extralight can compete with the custom build and headtube length!

  I own a custom built 2006 Merlin CR 3/2.5, I have been using 25mm tyres and want to now use 28mm, 28mm tyres vary so much that some are wider than others. I have fitted some Panaracer 28mm to the frame and there is about 1mm clearance and suspect on climbs or powering out of the saddle the frame will flex and cause the tyre to rub on the chain stays.

  I wanted to know if anyone knows someone in the UK you that can work on the existing chain stays and make them a bit wider by manipulating them to give me 5-10mm on each side to accommodate 28mm tyres. Maybe incresing the dimple in the stays ?

  If that's a bad idea, anyone got good recommendations for low profile 28mm tyres as the Panaracer Evos i have come up more like 30mm!

  So I have magically lost the part labelled '2' at the top of the image that adjust the pivot of the brake i think. Does anyone have any spares or know of what i could use in its place? Also what is it even called this part!

  Thanks all!

  Taken from my SRAM Force 22 groupset.

  Moved to a 50/34 now so had to buy new chainrings and the 110 spider so you are getting all 3 pieces for a bargain or I can sell them separately. Loads of life in them.

  Will give it a good clean once i send it out or collected. Just took them off and took the pic hence the messy nature they are in but have no scratches on them.

  RRP on these are:
  SRAM Force 53T chainring - £110
  SRAM Force 39T chainring - £50
  130 BCD SRAM Force spider - £40

  £150.

  Collection from Brixton or posted for £6
