I think it's different, definitely looks quite different. I could, in theory, use magura levers and shimano calipers, but for this purpose that's not really worthwhile.

Mechanics, can I get any kind of 90 degree banjo on the lever end of a Shimano hydraulic brake? A bit like you can get with Magura.

Just chucked them in with a bit of grease, definitely no angle grinder required.

Someone tried to steal some bits off my bike the other day, so I've put ball bearings into the heads on my allen bolts. Now I have no way to remove them when I need to; does anyone know where I'll find a reasonably strong magnet on a keyring?

I'm renouncing my mid-life crisis, accepting old age and going full on zero-scoble bricks tourer.

Will do a deal for forum members!

pair of quite boring carbon cyclocross race things and a ti independent fabrications winter road bike/light tourer, the latter of which I'm not entirely set-on selling, but not really getting much use out of lately.

Pains me to split the two bikes apart, let alone break them into parts.

They'll sell, just need to wait for the "cross is coming" but i don't have a perfectly matching pair of bikes" panic.

SWB, older diamond frame with uncrown fork, so not huge tyres I believe (at least at the back). I think I'd keep a bike with suspension and this would replace my "touring" bike, which doesn't really see any touring but does see some commuting. After a few years riding proper dutch cargo bikes for work my back doesn't seem to get on with a road position for more than a few hours.

Krampus just felt a bit heavy and imprecise. Didn't really like it's charge at stuff and hope the big tyres get you through approach. I imagine the Jones front end feels quite a bit lighter and manoeuvrable.

This is all quite speculative and reliant on selling about three other bikes.

I've owned a Krampus in the past and didn't really enjoy it. Would a Jones be a bad idea?

wrong thread

Negatory. They've been on eBay a while but not the ideal time to selling proper race bikes.

Maybe it's been underfilled from the factory then? Seems odd, though it did come part of a complete (new) bike.

I've been riding a Rohloff lately that is quite noisy in certain gears, very much a freehub ratcheting sort-of sound. I've ridden others in the past that didn't seem to have this. It's now done around 4000km so should be broken in. Anyone experienced similar? It'll be due an oil change shortly so I'll see if that quietens things down.

dibs, PM incoming.

I've had a few folding crates and they always seem to break. Unless essential I'd stick to a regular box.

Where's the crazy paintjob? Nice all the same.

I'll take the dripper if Max doesn't!

This one?

ah yes, this is the one I want. Thanks. I was looking at the slightly cheaper Ascend II, which has the same dimensions but a different lever.

Who has fitted the Brand X 27.2mm dropper? I think it's designed for gravel bicycles, but the description does not make it clear how compatible the remote is with drop bars.

Do those Walshes come over the ankle? you know what the name of those was?

2nd dibs should it fall through.

On the lookout for a Pompino frame, L or XL. Ideally wishbone edition.

Based in Bristol, so postage probably required.

Sticking these in here before making a proper ad:

I have a few matching cantilever race bikes for sale if anyone's interested.

56cm Kinesis C Six 2 carbon frames, Sram Force groupset (1x11), TRP brakes, Thompson seatposts, Ritchey WCS stems and bars, SLR saddles. Challenge Limus tubulars (one pair pretty much new, one quite used) on Forza wheels (budget, but reasonable).

They've done half a season of racing, so could probably do with a once over before next year, but bearings all feel okay. Ideal for racing and for #discbrakesaredead participation (n.b. there is brake shudder, not a problem whilst racing but perhaps does not make these ideal "gravel" bikes).

£800 for the pair, or £500 each. Currently in Bristol and ideally collected from here, though I will be making a trip to London at some point in the future. Sold without pedals.

There's a well-priced small Surly Big Fat Dummy on Gumtree at the moment, if anyone's on the look out.

still available?
