yeah didn't really think that one through

any chance of the leather jacket being posted?

Sold to dst

You can get 28s in depending on the tyre and rim - I was running 25mm Durano's on the Hunts, which are pretty wide so it measured up at more like 27.

You can unwind the barrel adjusters and remove them, but the braze ons are not removeable

Define faffing...

It has plugs in the frame for DI2 but I've never used them so can't comment on how easy it actually is. But it has been designed for at least.

Final bump before I stop harping on about it - down to £350

Price drop bump for the frameset - £400. Go on treat yourself, it won't rain forever.

This is exactly what I did on Halo Vapour rims. Worked a treat. (Ignore my puncture problems, they are tyre side)

Ah, sounds like the Joe's stuff, sort of gritty. Totally forgot about that option!

Duranos have the Raceguard thing, whereas the tubeless G-One is Microskin - whatever these things are. Schwalbe rate the Microskin as more resistant but my other half has the Raceguard G-Ones (tubed) and they just feel way more robust (at the cost of suppleness etc). I've run Duranos tubeless without issue so will probably just switch to the RG G-Ones.

I'm not flatting to the point of walking home every 2 weeks, but finding holes that won't seal properly so my tyre will lose 20PSI over 90 mins of riding - this then fixed by topping up on sealant. I've only had to be rescued by a kindly stranger with tubeless plugs once!

Every 2-3 weeks is about every 500km, and most of that is fairly sharp gravel, tracks past industrial estates and through wino-inhabited common areas. So the tyres probably don't have it so easy.

I've been tempted to try switching to the cheaper "non-tubeless" G-One, since i've had no issues setting up standard Duranos tubeless

ahhh yes those look good. I've been doing the superglue thing but it doesnt seem to last so well. Cheaper and less terminal for than those stabby plugs though.

For those who commute on a tubeless set up: I'm wondering if anyone suffers from the same amount of sealant disappearance as me?

Since switching, I've had probably one occasion every two or three weeks where a puncture will struggle to seal, and it turns out that this is generally due to there being a lack of sealant remaining in the tyre, and it mostly being up the inside of my mudguard.

Not sure if Doc Blue shit at sealing, or G-Ones shit at not being punctured.

Wheels sold.

yes, Shimano spline

Good afternoon Sussexites - it's been a little while but I'm back. Not quite Brighton, but over in Worthing with the rest of the detritus.

As part of my move, I am clearing some bits up, so while collection says Wimbledon/Putney, I can totally do the seaside too if anyone is interested:

Volare 40 F/F, 56cm, Reynolds 853 and tapered carbon fork - £350

Bought this as a frameset, built with the Hunts as a crit bike. However, it turns out that I don't do crits.
According to my Strava, ridden for a total of 1900km

There are some scuffs from cable rub, etc, the usual stuff but otherwise great condition. A fair bit of fork steerer, as pictured, but this is a reasonably aggressive geometry. I ran 15mm spacers under the stem, 10mm above.

Collection from Putney.
I also have a pair of Sram Rival calipers, also 1900km on them, which I am happy to include with the frameset.

[Wheels now sold]

I'll take the Velocity stem if it's still up for grabs?

No word from @mattyc on wheels so they're both still up for grabs

Cheers everybody, post updated with dibs etc.

Collection from Wimbledon.
All the clothing has been ridden no more than 3 times, but basically didn't work out size-wise. Wheels are more or less as new, but no QR's and have some storage marks.

Thanks everybody - currently both frame and fork are going to Darylxxx but I'll shout should the worst happen

For sells. In Wimbledon.

Item 1.
Equilibrium frame, plus red M-Part Elite headset in 👌 condition. 56cm, 27.2 post. Mudguard eyelets. Blah.

£100

Bought new in October 2011, ridden c.2500 miles (according to Strava). Embarrassingly low in retrospect, but there you go. It has chips, cable rub marks, etc - while it's been looked after, no rust etc, it has been ridden.

When first built, it matched the equivalently priced/specced Tarmac and Madone for weight (I built it with a full carbon fork, carbon finishing kit, Apex and hand built Open Pro wheels).

https://girodilento.com/the-stunning-genesis-equilibrium-20-2011/

I stripped, polished and lacquered the seat stays before it was first built, coz it looks cool as fuck.

Item 1.
Columbus Minimal full carbon fork plus expander bolt and headset cap with the birds on it. 243mm steerer, 1 1/8th.

Used with the above frame, so 2500 miles. Old style one with the birds on the shoulders rather then the offset typography.

£70
