Thanks @snottyotter I'll give that a go over the weekend.
Rotor is brand new and the old one looks pretty straight too so it must be something to do with the piston as you suggest.

Haha, if it was a minor rub I could live with it but its pretty severe

My front brake keeps rubbing badly no matter what I do and Im at my wits end.
I re-aligned the calliper several times, works fine for 5 minutes but the minute I squeeze the lever hard it starts rubbing again.
I took it to a trusted bike shop, they took the calliper off, checked it over, realigned it but it started rubbing again before I even made it home. They suggested that the rotor might be the problem and that I swap it out for a proper SRAM one so I bought a brand new SRAM rotor and had that installed, same problem.
Does anyone have any ideas?

Exact same thing with mine, brand new tube, bulged in one area which now feels very thin and soft.
I wonder what the rate of failure on these actually is, how many out of a given batch are likely to be defective?

Just had a nightmare experience with tubolito. I've been using them for a few months and up until now had been pretty impressed with them. Went on a ride this weekend and got a flat right at the end. Swapped out the tube for my spare tubolito but the tire wouldn't inflate. Took the tube out and tried to inflate it on its own and after only a few pumps it started to bulge in one section and wouldn't inflate any further. Had to walk 40 mins to a train station, not impressed.
Tubolito are sending me a free tube to replace the faulty one but I can't say I have much confidence in them now.

Rapha core bibs, black, size XS. These are from a few years back but have never been worn £60

Cadence bibs made by Capo customs. Size XS, colour is black with grey/silver panels and cadence logos. Worn once £60

I know these pictures are terrible so please feel free to ask if you want better ones.

Hahaha good to know, thanks

Actually just bought two of these after my fancy Rapha bottle decided to eject itself into the river Lea.
Really cannot fault these, especially for the price! Super light, pleasing squishyness, easy to drink from, cheap enough that you wont get upset about losing them.

Thanks, I'll look into that

Does anyone know where you can get replacement caps/lids for specialized purist bottles?
You can buy the lids on the specialized US site for $4 but they don’t seem to be available on the U.K. site.

Thanks for the help guys. I've got it going all the way up the cassette now by adding more tension but now its not shifting back down. Is it just a case of fine tuning the barrel adjuster until it works both ways?

I've just installed a brand new force 1 11speed rear mech on my bike but I cant get it to shift all the way up to the lowest gear. I can get all the way up to the second to last sprocket but then when I click the shifter again it seems to move over as if to shift up but then immediately springs back.
If I push the derailleur manually it will move all the way out and I've set the limit screws so that the jockey wheels are aligned properly. I've tried adjusting the cable tension but that doesn't fix the problem either.
The shifters are sram force 11 speed, the mech is sram force 11 speed and its a sram 11 speed cassette so its not a compatibility issue, anybody got any ideas as to where I'm going wrong?

No problem at all, was nice to make the most of the lovely weather

Dibs one set of the hunts please

Who das’d me this afternoon at the bottom end of Broadway market? Was so shocked at being das’d for the first time in years I momentarily forgot how to skid

Thanks @seager good to know that’s a viable option

Guess ive heard so many dodgy stories with Ali express that I tend to avoid unless necessary.
On a similar note, can anyone figure out why this Ultegra brake set on ebay is so cheap? Am I missing something?

Hmm, always been a bit skeptical of Ali Express stuff but good to know. Any idea what the import duties would be on that? My own googling tells me about 24%

Are those even legit?

Bumping because my requirements have changed a bit

Has anybody got any 11 speed Shimano hydraulic road levers? Also in need of callipers so bonus if you have a full lever and brake set to sell. Anything but Di2 will work really.

Thanks

Don't have anything at the minute, just saw that the SLX was £50 new as opposed to the 11 speed GRX being a lot more and I vaguely remembered hearing that GRX was compatible with MTB bits.

Stock is an entirely different question, this is all just a theoretical build at the minute.
Good to know it will work with the tanpan if it comes to it, I'll keep that as an option if I can get a used SLX or similar.

Im trying to put together a gravel build on a budget for a good friend of mine.
So far the only things I have are a Trek Crockett frame and a GRX 600 1x chainset.
I'm planning on going with GRX hydraulic and I was wondering if an SLX 11 speed rear mech would work with the GRX levers and chainset?
If that wont work, what are my other options for a budget 1x11 setup?

Pm on the way
