Better?

Also for those keen eyed folk you’ll notice inner tubes with TLR tyres… couldn’t be arsed to tape rims yet whilst setting up fit etc

What’s the thoughts on this? Levers up a smidge or fine as is? First time I’ve ever used SRAM so forgive me for my sins (ignore saddle height and spacers as I’ve yet to properly dial fit and chop steerer etc)

Have heard from a very reliable source that Sep Kuss in in advanced contract negotiations with Soudal Quick Step next year where he will ride as super domestique for Landa to repay him for today

Perfect, thanks!

Pfadfinder pfolks… I’m building mine up with two wheelsets, a road set with 28 tyres and a gravel set with 35 tyres. The road set will be for wet autumn/winter riding so will be what I mostly ride, accordingly I want to set the frame up with guards - looking at pdw 37mm guards.

I’ve never had a gravel/off-road specific wheelset before but I’m guessing they’ll be better to be used without guards due to the likelihood of them getting full up of dirt/leaf crud etc? Or do I ignore the plan of buying 37mm guards and go for the 45mm pdw guards so as to cover both wheelsets? That being said, I don’t know that the frame clearances will tolerate the 45mm guards…

Cheers, I bought a few rolls. Seems decent

Cheers. I think it is a frequent issue with a certain version of the LS tape as it has been grumbled about on here before by a few different users.

I’m setting up a bike with sram 48/35 and then a 10-33 cassette on the rear. I have a spare wheelset that has a 10-36 cassette for gravel/off-road. I imagine 90% of the use (especially through autumn and winter) will be the road wheelset with the 10-33 cassette. Am I better having a second chain that I use with the 10-36 wheelset as and when I swap between the two or should I use just one chain, and if so will it work with the 10-33 A OK if I size it to the 10-36 cassette?

Any tips for something like lizard skin 2.4? Lizard skin has been my go-to for years but the recent stuff seems to constantly unravel

Merci monsieur. There are some pretty decent looking loops over at https://www.cycling-challenge.com/vosges_cycling_map/

It may well be that I’ll head to the Jura after a day or two in the Vosges.

Any tips for lesser known climbs in the Vosges? I’m going to be there next week for a few days

I have a k edge one spare in excellent condition if you want to avoid the wait! Dm if you’re keen

Yeah I saw that, out of stock unfortunately

Have you got a link plz?

Any thoughts on the best band-on mech adapter for running a Sram force D2 front mech with? It is the AXS ie non-wide fitting. The only sram ones I can find online are for the wide fitting XPLR mech

Cheers man!

What’s the forum approved wax/oil for Victorian sanded floorboards? We’re about to sand back our floors and are keen for a subtle finish that will be as close to the original colour of the pine as possible

Painfully reminiscent of my brother's short-lived foray into road cycling when he was living and working in London and got a road bike for commuting from Greenwich to London Bridge.

Glad to hear you (and the frame) are OK.

I found them fine and I have pretty long legs!

Cheerz. Gah it’s so confusing. I did this work online btw whilst based in uk. It’s just £500

Weird employment question; I’ve just done some freelance work for an educational institution in Malta - they’re saying they will charge vat on this at source, unless I declare I’m responsible for paying vat in the uk. Is this correct?

Fingers crossed... where did you send it in the end?
