fwiw I'm 6'3" / 92cm pbh, I need the telescopic seatpost to get the seat up to my usual position (~62cm end of seatpost to rails vs ~58/60cm for the longest one-piece seatposts). For the front-end, for me the M stem&bars put the handlebars about level with the saddle, so depends what posture you want.

nice one! stickers arrived safe & look ace!

and I'll take the C17 (if it's still available!)

looks ace, love the fork!

Thanks for all the suggestions, had read the manual but had assumed the wheel was correctly set up from the previous owner so hadn't checked the dots yet, will do so! My experience of Rohloff on our tandem has been as @Five-Hats says - minimal adjustment or fettling necessary, and even when it does need it, it still shifts correctly just slightly clunkily (doesn't mis-shift/shift somewhere else) - hadn't really realised that Alfine seems to be a different kettle of worms (might have sprung for Rohloff if I had, tbh...).

Sooooooo, I'm trying to set up an Alfine 11 that I got second-hand, with a new JTEK shifter, and having some issues. It mostly shifts really nicely, apart from one of the gears in the middle (I guess gear 6?) shifts to a completely unrelated (& much lower) gear. It's like it's cleanly shifting through the sequence 11-10-9-8-7-3-5-4-3-2-1. Sounds like the first place to go to is the gear cable, but I used the slightly comedy shimano tool to set my gear cable length to exactly 184mm & I don't have a barrel adjuster in the current setup, soooooo.... anyone got any suggestions what/how to fettle?

gorgeous, wish I had space for it!

sad to say the "shimano 18" on the seat-stay suggests the latter...

ooooooooooooh was snoozing - second dibs...?

just got around to fitting a new crankset & bb, measures bang on 25mm as per yours, clears the chainstays! I did go for 44t to give myself the best chance though... thanks again for the sense check.

Yes indeed - same chainline though? Or no?

not yet, he's ace but I know he's always busy, wanted to get a sense-check before I bother him... (especially when I've bought second-hand...!) probably next port of call though. One thing is - looking at the photos of his recent triangles more closely I think the chainstay might have a slightly different bend now (with more chainring clearance), but only he would know about that... (this photo with crank only loosely on the bb spindle)

thanks for checking. hmmm, hard to photo accurately, but this one is measuring (roughly) 22/23mm to inner edge of chainring, 26mm to outer edge, sounds like you could be right & it's new crankset time...

Does anyone here have experience with the kinetics alfine triangles? tl;dr - what chainline for the chainset?

Longer version - bought a second-hand kinetics rear triangle/alfine-11 wheel a while back & finally got around to start fitting it over the holidays - switching the triangles went ok but the chainring is fouling the wider chainstay when folded. It currently has an old 50t one-piece chainset with ISO bb & (approx) 44mm chainline, looks like I need roughly 50mm chainline to clear the chainstay. The current Brompton chainset seems to also be (approx) 44mm chainline on a 119mm JIS bb, looking at the longest Shimano JIS bb I can see is 127mm, which should give me (approx) 48mm chainline, which /might/ do it but looks tight? Anyone else done this before & have any pointers before I go ahead & order the wrong thing...?

thanks! I reckon that's a couple of mill longer than I want (and maybe a couple of mill short on the steerer too) so probably not going to happen, if I had more stash space I would take a punt on it but... it's a very cool fork...!

could you get me the axle-to-crown measurement while you're at it?

hmm, what's the axle-to-crown on the forks?

hmmm, what's the OLN on the rear wheel? 120mm?

how about Listing Practices -> Search & browse manipulation -> Incorrect item condition?
It's listed as "used, fully functioning" when it should be "non functional, for parts"?

The design is called “e-stay” - it was a trend for a while to avoid chainsuck when your bottom bracket area got clagged up with UK mud. Looks great!

sold!

yes indeed, it's the S, it's the shortie - price drop bump £30

Brooks Professional S (short) black - got it as-new on the back of a second-hand tandem, my stoker rode it for a while but just couldn't get comletely comfortable on it, the odd mark from use but basically very good condition. £30 ONO collected from Brockley/SE London

yummy
