Thanks for the replies.

Agreed, it's had a good innings and whatever caused it would probably have killed anything.

Off to my LBS to talk about some of the recommendations.

Cheers all.

It was the rear by the way, and I was doing teh skidz over glass when it happens

Pulled away from a junction this evening and had an almost instant blow out. Was in a rush so just walked about a mile home. Just checked it now and it's completely cut through and has had it. Wonder what could have caused it as I thought these are supposed to be pretty tough - isn't there a layer of kevlar in there? Having second thoughts about instantly replacing it with another, although it's the first puncture I've had in over a year with this tyre - just wasn't expecting it to fail so spectacularly.

Cheers Dom!

Manganese rails or Kium?

Can I cross post my Spotted pic?

if those aren't chopped like that just for looks - why would you cut bars any narrower then your shoulders/hips to try and get through smaller gaps?

Can I dibs the Arione if it comes to splitingtons? Thanksintungs.

Interesting - thanks for that - 3 miles of road buzz sounds nasty, will investigate how to mitigate that!

BTW: How long did it take to complete at whatever your average speed was, if you can remember?

Awesome. I don't tend to have problems with hills in London (Dog Kennel Hill, Muswell Hill, Highgate) in that ratio, so am positive.

I've tried searching the forum but not found anything on this, surprisingly.

Anyway, I've committed myself to riding the road road as part of a charity initiative at work.

I'm not going to do Box Hill nine times - just the once.

I wanted to see if anyone had done the route and can share any tips and advice from their experience? What ratio used, how long it took, how busy the route is etc?

I'm particularly interested in Box Hill advice. As it stands, I'm going to be set up with 46x18 on a flip flop hub, intending to ride out to and up Box Hill fixed and then flip it at the top and come back on the freewheel if necessary.

Cheers!

Where can I get one of those massive DA single chainrings?

Bumpingtons. Nowt about?

Fuck me, how short is the wheelbase!

It looks like there's overlap with the chainring

is that seatpost in backwards?

Can't you get a set of wheels built up on DP18s for £150?

I was very close to ordering one of these. The guy I was dealing with was really helpful - you should get in touch with geo queries as I'm sure they'll help out.

I think there is quite a long waiting time. Eventually just decided to get something steel instead (14R)

Bump :)

Looks like a ctt then. Good luck with the sale. Nice bike.

How do the Condors measure up? Is it 52 ctc or ctt?

Budget £35/40

Cheers

Ordered Tuesday night, arrived this morning. Looking good so far. Can't wait to kit them out and ride 'em.

ooh yes! I'll take the right black one if you're splitting the pair or both if not. PM coming...

Looking for a single right hand, but will buy a set if that's all that's available. Preferably in black.

Will take alternatives, but maximum clamping diameter will need to be 25.4mm.

Ta.

Got two CST tyres you can have for collection in N16. I'm after a 25.4 or lower right hand brake lever in case you have anything like that :)

have you got a right one too, Vince?
