Using more grease is indeed a facet to the equation, although is arguably not directly relevant to the question at hand - as some hubs are naturally louder than others, all else being equal.

More grease in a naturally quieter freehub = quieter still than more grease in a naturally louder freehub - IME

My experience with campag hubs (on Zonda and Bora for example, especially the former) was that they were very pleasantly quiet, across three wheelsets. Can't comment on DT Swiss

Pardon me, I see this is a duplicate thread.

Thanks very much @Netakure and @Foreigner65 - I appreciate your input! 👍

Wondering what I may do about the rust I seem to have recently acquired on the front mudguard bolt and fork crown bolt-hole.

Any decent tips for getting rid of this? Bit of rag soaked in vinegar? Or nowt to worry about and /or bother with?

Many thanks in advance!

Just wanted to drop back in here to say I'm loving mine - it's been in use for approx 1 year now and feels strong, reliable and like it'll last decades if treated well, thanks again!

(very) hopeful 4th on the groupset, should those ahead fall through.. can collect and live locally

Man I'm so hard I'm just gonna chuck this fukin thing

People who drop their weights in the gym. Worse still with cable machines just letting it clank back down. Absolute pussies, acting tough

Also OT: this slow cooker, used I think twice since new £10

Adding to this Carnac Notus helmet size M. Used but decent nick /never crashed etc, obvs

Giving this away as my girlfriend no longer has her iPhone SE. Collected from whitechapel E1. Please consider a forum donation if you would like to take this.

It's one of these, in perfect condition https://winstanleysbikes.co.uk/bbb-bsm-01-patron-iphone-5-handlebar-mount

(note: this is compatible with iPhone 5 and iPhone SE, but NOT to my knowledge iPhone SE 2020 version.) iPhone people may know of other models which shared the same casing/form factor, if any. I however, do not.

It's pretty nice as you can put your phone in the inner case, which then clips in /out of the handlebar mounted bracket, a bit like cateye's light brackets. Fairly nice bit of kit which would be a shame to bin

Many thanks

Ah did not know that, but yes I'd imagine we're talking about the same people.

Oh and two of my friends ride the scribe wheels and they also seem very, very nice. I will say however that the hubs, are LOUD. Like, the loudest I've ever come across, by a long shot. May not bother you but worth being aware of

I have the Parcours Strade wheelset which came on my new bike. They seem to be really well built, and are very fast. I ended up spending a fair bit of time off road on them by mistake on holiday and was not concerned, as they really do seem super robust. I have approx 2.5k km on them and they've not missed a beat and have remained true.

I used to have boras on my old rim braked bike which I absolutely loved (though I definitely would've been concerned off road on those, largely due to them having much thinner walls,) and while the newer disc bike perhaps does not have the same sense of snappiness as the old, the newer bike on the Parcours wheels is in fact faster overall and I attribute this largely to the wheels. This of course is impossible to quantify as there are a number of other differences between the two bikes including going from 25s to 28s, qr to TA, old frame shape to new etcetc.

Either way I'm very pleased with the Parcours wheels and cannot imagine wanting another wheelset. No idea who makes the hubs, probably rebranded novatec or some such. I will probably strip them down and inspect the bearings after the winter. I would've been more at ease with the boras (or indeed on DT Swiss for example) in this respect, but am not massively concerned. I really liked the specs of these - but equally would not hesitate to go LB rims / CX rays and have them built up locally per previous suggestions, if these hadn't come on the bike I bought. I hope that my impressions of the wheels may be of some help

Any questions please ask :) thanks for looking

I'll just chime in here and say:

1. I know Jon personally, and can vouch for him with full confidence. He's an honest, gentlemanly gent. He can also climb really, really fast
   
2. I feel if anything Jon is underselling this and being overly cautious on the part of the buyer. A prime example being that he's recommending a scan, despite having ridden 5000km on it as it is - and suggesting that a buyer can make offers accounting for/factoring in, this cost.
   
3. He was completely honest in his first post that he doesn't know how to price it. He is opening himself up to all manner of lowball offers which to my mind at least, is quite the opposite of being evasive or 'cagey'.
   
4. No-one is being forced to buy or even inquire into, the bike
   
   

Used to ride one of these, albeit the older frame with external cable routing and standard mount brakes. I still miss it and think it was maybe my favourite road bike of those I've ridden and/or owned. GLWS

Edit: ah bugger it, cba

Would've bitten your arm off had this come up two months ago. Glws!

2nd dibs tyres please, should the above fall through. Many thanks

Ah thanks very much!

Hi there, may I ask which chainrings you have on here please? Looks banging, and I'm wondering if they're sub-compact or if not whether they do a range of sizes.

Many thanks!
