That paint!

Forgot to post this Trek 470 / 105 build I did for a friend.

Fucking hell ... full face helmets all of a sudden don't seem so stupid.

Yep — in this case the mudguard strut would still be mounted to the eyelet, albeit through the fixing plate (which is fixed in place via the mudguard / rack mounts). Point taken though.

@PepOne really nice idea but the deralleur hanger also has a protrusion for the dropout slot / axle (as apposed to skinnier QR skewer) which are both important to keep the derailleur in position and orientated. Also stacking these on the dropout would mean moving the hanger too far outboard for the derailleur to work properly.

Keen to try @Hulsroy 's sliding dropouts via Simba and see if it's what I'm looking for. If not then Plan B above (fixing plate) is an afternoon of work and seems feasible, at least to my bird brain.

Ah, yep—remember these—certainly up for trying them, PM in-bound.

Thanks!

This is the derailleur hanger, somewhat restrictive in that sense.

Quick thought; alu stop plate that fastens to the two mudguard / rack braze ons;

Ha, we'll see. Currently I can't use above 32c as pushing any further back in dropouts causes cassette/chain to foul on the tensioner. Going to see what can be done to adapt / pervert to make it fit as needed.

Another non-brazed solution could be to drill removable hanger and drill / tap track ends and fasten that way. Thoughts?

Saying that, grinding off a braze-on might prove easier than filling holes once I'm bored of this folly and realise I should probably just go and build a bike that's fit for purpose.

Ah, one of these.

One of your jobbies @mdcc_tester ?

Taking a leaf out of the book of @Hulsroy — 1x10 geared Pompino.

X9 shifter on modified swing clamp. Full outer cable (with swish cable tie routing). X7 10 spd derailleur on removable hanger. DT Swiss 350 hubs on th540 rims. The idea being it's easy to swap from 1x10 to fixed just with a wheel / chain / chainring swap.

Needs a bit of fettling still—I want to cold set the spacing when I get a chance—and also put a 36t cassette on, tidy up the baggy cable routing, etc. Still, it's working and fun. Only other drawback at the moment is I can't fit my Challenge 33c's and also have enough room for the tensioner on the removable hanger (the tensioner fouls the cassette / chain if wheel too far back in drop outs).

Now proof of concept done and working, thinking I might as well just get a hanger brazed on ahead of a new paint scheme in the Spring.

With "real street style"

Radials just arrived. They're heavy!

Bums.

edit: just gone voll Spastisch & managed to twat myself in face with them turning them over to read the packaging. They are made well.

Lovely!

Shit ... did you get plate details? Witness number / name?

If you've got the above, the police should be able to do the rest.

Hope you're alright!

Yes!

Well, we tried!

If you find something let me know cause I'd love something similar to King I can use with my frame bag.

Whats better about the Tacx Deva vs Tao? Honest question.

I actually quite like the Tacx Tao (for road biek). Inoffensive weight and looks, and cheap to boot.

But really, King are king, even the Iris.

Oh and Lifeline Ti (dicontinued??)

Sliced? What happened?

As above ! Purchased for a project but now surplus to requirement.
