A few bits for sale which I no longer have use for.

1. Shimano Dura Ace HP-7410 sealed cartridge bearing 1" headset in a very good condition. The bearings are as smooth as new and the headset has not seen much use at all, as you can probably tell from the photos. The upper h/set cup has a slight blemish where it was inserted into a head tube (this part of the cup sits internally in the head tube so can't be seen nor it affects the operation). Have the original box and instructions aswel. The thread is standard British/ISO. £Sold

2. Fairly uncommon Reynolds 653 1" Threaded Chrome fork in a very good condition. £Sold

If you are interested please drop me a pm. Collection is welcome from Central/East London or I an post at a cost. If paying via PayPal the buyer is covering the fees. Cash upon collection is preferred. Thanks for looking.

The world has gone mad...

Ortlieb Velocity has been reserved, pending payment/collection.

One can find an unmarked 1" full carbon Mizuno fork for £70-90 (considered to be one of the best forks of that era)...

All sold, thanks.

Its probably a good move- I hear nothing good about the Mavics... Plus can you imagine what a ballache getting hold of carbon spokes would be in another county (or this one) should you break one?

You not meant to replace r-sys spokes yourself, the wheel suppose to be sent back to Mavic tech centre

So the r-Sys aren't as stiff as they make out?

Ardennes on 25's better?

They are not so stiff in stiff frames, also it depends a lot on a rider's weight and ridding style. I know someone who bought a pair of r-sys with high hopes, which did not materialise. He weights around 70kg and is a strong rider.

Stick with Ardennes, the benefit of the wider rims outweigh the R-sys, especially with 25mm.

You will notice that going up an unevenly surfaced climb where the wheel will be bouncing less up/down and sapping your energy

If you just want a set of new wheels for the trip then go for a pair of Ksyrium SLS C - good price/weight/lateral stiffness ratio and no carbon spokes

I've got 24mm Vittoria Open Corsa SR on the Ardennes - not yet ridden them on those tyres though.

You must try Vittoria OC SR with the latex inner tubes (ideally on a smooth road), bit pricey if you puncture but totally worth it. The cornering will be exceptional with the Ardennes as the rims are wider ones.

I know a lot of r-sys owners and the common theme is that they do flex quite a bit especially on a steeper sections of a climb (high torque out of a saddle climbing). Bare in mind that the weight of a tyre/inner tube/rim/nipples/spokes (in this sequence) matter more than the weight of a hub. Wheel manufacturers tend not to specify weights of individual wheel's components. What I am trying to say ignore the overall weight of a wheel set and avoid carbon spoked shallow rim wheels as you tend to loose out on the lateral stiffness...

Seriously keep your Ardennes! Of all Mavic wheel sets r-sys has the highest warranty return rate... The obsession can be explained by the harshness of the Canyon frames... If you decide to go for the r-sys make sure a retailer is offering a full manufacturer's warranty...

IMO keep your Ardennes and get 25mm (the frame clearance permitting) GP4000s (not GP4000s2 as they are slightly heavier) and Specialized Turbo Inner tube combo..

Haha they're the icing on the cake for sub 6.8kg climbing machine!
