Anyone else got any advice on the above. Struggling to find a good solution.

Sorry I should have been clearer. They are mini v's.

I have the above bike with 105 sti shifters, condor branded v brakes and h plus son rims.

I am having some serious issues with the brakes. Front was causing the bike to judder and shake under hard braking which has been improved by toeing the swisstop blue pads in. Stopping power of the rear brake is non existent.

Would something like the SRAM shorty ultimate with a softer compound pad improve my braking significantly or should I just bite the bullet and go disc? If disc what would be preferred options?

Cheers

@cgg Good work.

I have the above frame which is currently running a Sugino DD75 crank on what I believe is a 103mm bottom bracket with a Zipp super9 rear disc.

I have decided to upgrade to a track specific SRM however I am having trouble with the bottom bracket. It requires an octalink bb but these only come in 109mm.,

Can anyone help ascertain which parts I need to get the correct chainline. Also let me know if you need any further info.

Thanks

I've had something similar happen on two Meridas that I have owned. I've had the fork repaired by Mike at Fibre HQ. Not 100% on how he does it but he strips back the damaged carbon and replaces the top section with machined aluminum. I've been riding mine for over 2 years and was £60 to repair.

I've got another fork coming back in the next couple of days so will try and post some pictures of the repair.

Anyone got a cheap dynamic they are not using?

Where are the fake SMP's for sale at?

Bubble wrap, tape and jam it in. In my experience they all come loose at some stage.

@mdle thats tidy. nice work.

So I was setting up the low limit on the above RD. Crank running osymetric rings. Chain on small ring and large sprocket. Get the adjustment done and final check. Spinning the cranks and the rear derailleur decides to move all the way outboard dropping the chain onto the small sprocket.

Ran it through tube and telling me there is an error. Updated the firmware. Tested the derailleur to see if it had gone into crash mode. Tested all connections and on another bike. Nothing.

Motor in the derailleur still seems to run when shifters are pressed but doesn't move.

Anyone have any ideas?

No. Never even entertained an adapter this time. Tried them in the past with a BBright and creaked liked mad after a few months.

Also a pain in the arse to run internal di2. It is the 2014 model and its as if the internal cabling was an after thought. Doing everything blind and using all the tricks in the book including a hoover and the park tools magnetic cable kit.

Then the joy of setting up osymetric rings.

Then the $350 rear derailleur decides to stop working.

Great Friday.

Solved with a bit of heat and acetone. Not a fun job hammering a carbon frame. New dead blow hammer was also a good investment.

So I have the above bike and my customer wishes to run a shimano crank set.

Long story short I'm going to use a praxis bottom bracket but the aluminium cups have been epoxied into the carbon bottom bracket shell.

Short of hammering this bike to death does anyone have any advice on softening the epoxy to help with removal of the cup?

Looking for some of the above but struggling to find anything suitable. Anyone got any suggestions of bearing I can use or point me in the direction of a reasonably priced headset?

Everything I look at is NOS and pricey.

Thanks

Anyone got anything of the above kicking around or something similar.

Carbon preferably if the price if right.

I'm sure this has been covered somewhere in this thread and I have seen numerous examples elsewhere but what are the latest recommendations for 'hacking' rear derailleur sprint shifters onto clip on aero extensions?

Cateye buttons seem to be the most used but I have also seen which I think is tidier. http://nyvelocity.com/articles/equipment/ultegra-di2-tt-hack/

Any advice appreciated.
