Buy it and you'll find out 😇
Nah I'm joking, I'll take some photos and PM you when I have a sec. The cheaper one also works just as well
-
Really want those wheels 4 my genesis :(
-
Hello!
Having a quick clearout in an attempt to keep the wolves from the door. Hackney Central in the evenings or around Kings Cross during the day.
Offers accepted. C.R.E.A.M.
Will upload photos later.
Added some extra Rapha bits to thin out my wardrobe before moving house.
Rapha Pro Team Jersey - Grey / Pink - Extra Small - £20
Well worn but fine, no fraying threads or anything!Rapha Pro Team Bibshorts I - Black / Pink - Small - £40
I have 1 set of these left! Worn with slightly yellowed straps but all functionally perfect.SRAM 170mm 130BCD GXP Cranks + 10 Speed 53/39 SRAM rings - £25
Not sure what model these are, but can run 11 / 10 speed on them. Good condition. -
I did not drill them, and yes they are surplus. Want them?
I did actually paint them but it's a decent finish.
-
Anyone know of a way to attach a Wahoo Bolt to a Aerocockpit?
-
Right, Giant is gone because I needed the money and wasn't going to ride it anyway.
Canyon now has an Aerocockpit which is a much nicer / better fit, and hides all the cables nicely. Need to ride it about for a bit but otherwise likely done.
Just waiting for my Cyclescheme voucher to arrive so I can get my fucking powermeter now.
-
Anyone want to buy my Giant?
£400 and I'll deliver it to where-ever you are. No pedals.
-
I was indeed. I am a ghost-ride specialist.
-
Mateusz' whip. Extremely stupid and fun to ride.
-
That's rowdy. Priest-bar clones and it's sorted
-
No way dude! I've only fiddled with your initial concept; the 11-40, the 650b by 42 and the rowdy cable routing is all your idea. Well beyond my simple thinking. It's just a new paintjob on an already sick build! Yep - junction box is hidden in the stem. Going to do something similar with the Canyon when I can be bothered. Y-Cable from shifters in to the frame, junction box hidden in the top tube probably.
Oh rah Mallorca at this time of year is great.
-
Canyon all finished 😇
End of good bike week for me. Going on holiday now and won't touch a bike for a fortnight. Bliss.
-
Yep, but my pressures are dialled already.
The difference between a Thomson Elite Inline and a Canyon VCLS split deflection thing is equivalent to a 25psi drop in pressure. Whilst I've got a Masterpiece rn and won't be putting a Canyon post on there, even half of that is worth the expense.
-
Best photo I could find of the Genesis. Next parts are a Deda Superleggero seatpost, Sram Red Quark powermeter, hopefully some clincher firecrest 303s. After that I really can't think of anything that could be improved.
Actually, that's a lie. DA9100 brakes and Yokozuna compressionless cables. Chris King black headset. Enve forks. But at this point I'm just spending money for the sake of it.
-
Grazi mille!
Best road bike I've ever ridden, and I've ridden a lot of good road bikes. Just need some dickhead wheels to match the quality of the frame. Hopefully it will last forever and be cleaned and tastefully mounted in the mausoleum upon my death.
I'm buying a carbon seatpost for it after constant badgering by @jammy and reading some studies on deflection and comfort.
-
'Custom' paint, as in, I did it myself on my roof.
-
The only reason to get cable over hydro is budget.
Bin off the cross-top levers, get hydro di2
-
I was insanely sceptical about the Urban Racer until Sacha brought one in. 100% the best, funnest bike I have ever ridden. I love it. I desperately want one.
-
Depends on the tyres I guess - my understanding suggests slicks like Gravel Kings or Horizons aren't a problem, might not be as fast as GP4kSII but certainly fine on the road. The knobblier you get I think the slower you're going to roll, but if you're on tarmac, racing against a clock I guess you're not going to be taking your gravel bike.
Anecdote time! My 650B 42c Gravel Kings run fast as hell. Can hold decent laps speed on them. My 700c 40c Nanos are heavier and roll slower on tarmac but still go fairly well when you chug up to speed.
-
What's wrong with 37s over that kind of distance? I've ridden 40s far further than that.
-
Sorry, mean 9150!
Getting confused on my Shimano numerology.
-
Electronic only. Plus I like the stealthiness. 9170, definitely.
It's got DA brake outers on it and god damn those are nice brake outers.
