Spyres and hyrd are made for the current cable pull of shimano shifters which shared by all 11 speed. With older shimano levers or campag levers there is still no problem but lever feels hard like a cantilever brake with the straddle cable set very low. I use campag ergo with my spyres and the rear brake is fine. There is a problem with the front caliper as the pads move themselves so I have to readjust every month. Brake pad wear with ebc organic pads is very slow. I have got at least 4000km out of the current front pads. Rears last forever. Tektro pads evaporate even if you don't brake. The wear just by looking at them.

I have done those rides already but I might do another epic on the single speed MTB.

How much does the chainset weigh. I have always wondered about these.

It maybe possible with eBay far eastern parts but the budget will be tight. You going to need a free frame I think

Refund on used wheels that's a bit cheaky. Your puncture is not resolved. If your tyres are a tight fit buy some 17mm wide tubeless tape and use that instead of thick rim strip. Thus will make a huge difference and you will be less likely to pinch a tube. Also unless you know where the hole is you will never resolve the issue. Try a different tyre, conti normally fit miche wheels without difficulty. There is nothing wrong with miche wheels it is just you have not resolved your problem. Also sealant will seal most punctures.

Any chainset works with any shifter system. The chainset does not know or care. Lovely bike. I would look great with campagnolo 10 speed chorus or record and those lovely campagnolo carbon square taper cranks.

I have gone narrow again. just fitted 29x2.1" tubeless tyres to 20mm internal with rims. I had to take the dugast ori tubeless tubular tyres off. two weeks in a row i have had to ride on a flat. Tyre reinflated though at the shop with fresh sealant added.

Tomvanhalen try the Kinlin TL29 rim. it is cheap wide and builds up well. lace them to whatever hubs you fancy for a robust wheelset.

Well we are nearly a year into trump in the whitehouse and he has not managed to start a war (yet) and aside from offending just about everyone somehow he is still in office but unable to get much done. maybe this is the best outcome. contain him in the oval office.

Shinzo Abe likes Trump though.

I did C2C this year but with gears. I did have loaded panniers though. single speed sounds like fun do it but a low gear might be need 65". I did south downs way on a MTB with a 61.5" gear. That was good so I am sure it is more than possible.

Bought another japanese whiskey Chita from suntory. It's a grain whiskey and the first taste felt harsh. I am drinking some now and it tastes very different. more sutble. It is a light whiskey with a sweet caramel like nose but that does not describe right. it taste like a honey cereal cake with some unknown spices. Damm it's good.

there wesbite is gone at least I cant find it at least you did not go the way of your mack hub.

has anyone else tried a mavic yskion tyre on a mavic op rim. I was expecting to mount by hand. I had to use my tyre lever though. do I have an outlier?

next sept I asked this week.

The 25mm roadlite sizes like a 28mm tyre so no need.

So Mavic have given a release date then for the exalith. I am still waiting for the disc rims. That were due last month.

I hope there is a third as I could make this one. I need excuses to ride the rra.

I have tests done at 120 to 60 psi. I need to put it in a table. At £90 per tyre the 28mm tyres can wait. The roadlite comes out best at all pressures.

I have a set of pardones and there I a section of road near my house perfect for aerochung testing. On windless days I will do some runs and see if any meaningful crr comparisons result. I also have other tyres and bigger test is in process. Each tyre will be run till it's dead. The schwalbe one on my sannino were used.last Friday when it was wet. They picked up damage and the front tyre let go all over my parents floor in Italy. Fortunately it tiled. A worm has fixed it for now. Next tyres on that bike are mavic yskion UST 25mm. I am going to have to up my mileage what a shame.

Hippy asked about rolling resistance of IRC tyres I had a hunch but I had no numbers I do now.

Test done at 30kph with a 40 kg load and 80psi

The schwalbe pro one was tested too as s comparison and has a crr of 11.6w but it can't do as many miles or grip in the wet. It is as every thinks a fast tyre.
The roadlite 25mm has crr of 13.7w
The formula pro rbcc has a crr of 15.2W
The formula pro X guard has a crr 18.6w.
The pro light was tested but there is something a miss. Crr was a tad higher than the rbcc tyre. So now I have to IRC the bad news.

I have data at higher pressures but since tubeless tyres are ridden at 80 psi or thereabouts that is what is best quoting. So the surprise is the roadlite. I thought it felt gp4000sII quick and it is.

Sadly no I don't have any light tubs. Good luck at the nationals.

A google search brought up on the first page strada wheels, The cycle clinic e.t.c for selling these rims.

The velocity aileron is your other choice and kinlin XR31RTS is you need asymmetric.

seapage is a sign of a lack of sealing. try soapy water to get the bead to pop into place properly.

I have rolling road Crr results back for the IRC tyres. There is one surprise in there too.

dont bother putting sealant in the sprinters. I have received some IRC formula pro team tubulars. yes these are tubs used by some pro they sponsor. i need to mount them. i am hoping for great thing but its nearly winter so i'll probably puncture.

I have a 18F/24R 28mm deep tubular wheelset. and a Pacenti SL23 V1 on the same spoke count. I am not that light and these are fine.
