Great price

Nice frame, would make a good 'do it all' bike. GLWS

Hunt tend to get a bad rep around here because I suspect people are a bit snooty about them, or a bit jealous that they managed to have a bit of a big break doing pretty basic stuff which other one man outfits and bike shop staff on here do already.

I had a set a while ago and they were perfectly good, as mentioned above, its all the same stuff from Taiwan anyway so long as the end price and warranty is good.

Lol

Folks, if anyone is still needing a lift back, Islington CC have opened up their last remaining tickets to non members for a coach back to Highbury, best option if you're based north of the river.

I like it, it’s modernised PoMo with the colour and the tiles are excellent. Some of the TMH stuff is just so dull.

Agreed, and priced them to reflect the risk. The OP is trying to sell the power versions at nearly retail price - without a warrantee knowing full well of the relatively high chance they are duds. Thats £600+, if I was shopping I would be glad for others adding context. LFGSSers need to look after LFGSSers.

Exactly, this is boom time for wealthy cash buyers.

We tried Three 5G - when it worked it was amazing, but you need flawless signal.

The receiver is insanely picky about it's location, you must place it within line of sight of the 5G mast to get good speeds. It's also so picky and sensitive that it doesn't work through double glazing. Seriously. We used it for a few months with the windows open but the moment winter came and we had to shut the double glazed windows it become unusable so we returned it.

You're talking about a completely different product and company - original Speedplays were/are excellent.

Wahoo bought speedplay recently and changed the designs, the new versions apparently have a huge failure rate, so purchasing some of these Wahoo versions, without a warranty (unless they were mega cheap) would be madness.

Campagnolo Khamsin is just the name of the wheel, they come with different style free hubs. You need a Campagnolo style freehub on your Khamsins to use a Campagnolo cassette.

Condor Fratello rim brake model is pretty modern and will take large tyres. I've squeezed 32s on them, but thats very much borderline

How do the locks work, do you have to pay for their use individually?

Worth obviously bearing in mind is that any shifters will work single speed, so you can look for posh levers that are broken for shifting but great for breaking - hello old dura ace/super record shifters off ebay.

That said! I will have a set of the nice TRP silver levers going spare next week. Ive been really impressed with the TRPs as they have a strong return spring in them which makes for a very satisfying, snappy lever action- a feature you wouldn't even get on normal posh road levers as it would make them too heavy I imagine.

Nice, I'm just about to start an Allday build myself, but black with rim brakes, dynamo lights, VO integrated stem and guards to be a commuter machine.

I finally managed to hunt down what appear to be some of the only silver, 32h, rim brake, tubeless compatible, wide (19mm internal) rims available, these BORG22 (rebadged Kinlin XR22T).

I get mine from Spa Cycles, black, but its so minimal colour with the silver brake track.

I didn't think the traffic was too bad this morning. Funny how it varies so much these days.

Need someone sciency here - but I think thats the same thing. Its the sweat taking heat with it off your body, if it gets actively drawn away (wicks away from your skin) then it takes heat off faster

I bought this to upgrade my chain efficiency game and go faster. But then I heard about chain waxing which is even quicker.

Squirt is literally chain waxing. If youre doing immersion waxing then squirt is still handy to top up your chain wax between immersions. I would keep it.

Depends on the jersey you're wearing on top. Jerseys on their own usually aren't that good at wicking away sweat and get a bit clingy and uncomfortable if you're sweating a lot. But as with most things in cycling you don't need one, but its nice to have.

Well done!

Bars and seatpost please! :D

Just bars and seatpost thanks, picked up a nice VO stem.

Does anyone have any good condition modernish Campag shifters (9/10/11) that they would be willing to part with? Speed doesn't matter as they will be going on a single speed bike, I just want the familiar hood shape.

Drop me a DM

Hi folks, still looking!
