Fabulous looking bike!

I have the lockring tool and the crank extractor in W5.

Even if you have the LR tool, you still need a solidly attached bench vice or similar to do the job, might not be something most people have around.

Ah, great, thank you @Howard! W5 is easy for me and yes I do have a bench vice. Will PM you.

Money situation has been rectified. Merlin have been exemplary with this.

That's good to know. I wonder how many more of those framesets they've had to send back to Bergamo?

Hmmm. What kind of 'penny'? 1p? 1d? Or some other currency? This sounds like a useful hack to know about!

OK thanks! Ima kick the job down the road I think.

Also have some very light, newly launched Rotor Aldhu30 carbon 170 crank arms (will work as part of a road/gravel/track setuo) - approx 100g lighter than aldhu30 - pic attached

Is this compatible with Praxis spiders do you know?

edit: if you don't have a spare locking, I would get one just in case you fuck it up. it's alu and the tool is steel.

Ah, thank you for that intel. The job of swapping out the SpiderRing race double is not pressing so I may just kick it down the road.

They all have that signature on them.

You need a really short stem to run them too as they are so long. Flexy as, when out the saddle too.

Not all, as I recall — not the Team edition, and not all Ltd edition either. There were some chin-stroking discussions with the UCI around Article 1.3.020 about the bar's forward extension, which officials feared would promote a dangerous 'superman' position. We made it clear to all purchasers that they would need a shorter stem, and to consult the UCI guidance beforehand. I never rode the bar so have no experience of its handling. The Scatto sprint bar that followed — also engineered by Richard McAinsh — was more of a commercial success. Neither bar was intended for use on the road.

They aren’t a pursuit bar!

OK points race and Madison, you win. But that sure is Cam Meyer's sig!

Yes got some brand new unused DA 9000 165 cranks

130 BCD I imagine?

^ sarcasm?

Triton is offering it for £20. For delivery on 21 June grrrr. It is out of stock everywhere. Even in the US of A. And the IceToolz copy. An alternative appears to be a Park Tool marketed for the Bosch Active / Performance Line of e-bikes. But that is also out of stock. What gives? This is really not...rocket surgery?

Well curiously I do. But it is now March 2021. Are you still on here?

Cameron Meyer Signature Edition eh? Amazing bar...if pursuit is your thing

Is there an alternative to the Cannondale SI Lock Ring Tool, or is it proprietary-only? Price is a bit steep...even if it were in stock!

Bit concerned about DA9100’s bashing recently. It’s an extremely refined groupset and likely the last cable-actuated rim-brake Dura Ace the world will see. It’s a bit of a moment

Agree 100%

+1 for this

I have a a new and unused RD-5800 in black but...it lacks a lower guide pulley
...but I see this chap has exactly what you need:

I have one, actually I think two. One has long arm that was slightly bent in when I hit the deck, but doubtless can be bent back. It would not be costly.

2nd thought: not sure if it's 11S

Great concept!

Blimey, £1000 asked for a seatpost! I shall be sure never to leave my Chorus Ti post unattended

Does anyone here wish to register an interest in my very nice Shimano 3x9 drivetrain?

Crankset is Deore LX HT2 44-32-22, cassette 11–28, shifters LX, front mech XT top pull, rear mech XT Shadow (M772). All in great shape — shift levers and both mechs are nearly new. The set would be ideal for replacing worn-out componentry on a classic steel MTB.

Pix privately to PMs before I put it up on the 'for sale' thread.

Top value!

That's a real banger! Tempting to hang it on the wall rather than risk that paint finish in the wild

Yes RD is capable of 40T big cog I think. But hell, why not just fit the manufacturer setup. Anyone here in need of a nearly-new 3x9 group? Perfect for the retro MTB crew — 22x28 low gear, what's not to like!

Edit: M772 SGS is specified only for 34T big sprocket, with up to 22T diff between rings. So you are right @vilms5000. Works well in my setup though!

Shimano XT 11-speed cassette, XT 11S shifter — will an XT 9S rear mech index correctly?

Shimano compatibility chart does not rule it in or out. Does anyone know for sure?
