Why the sram cassette? Shimano make a 11-36

Tubeless Ready?

I was campag for years, switched the road bike to old SRAM eTap a year ago and love that.

Built a gravel bike with GRX mechanical - I get why people like Shimano now, just works.

I’ve got two sets of GK to seat and hold air fine, but they needed the compressor. Had a blowout puncture on a road ride last year, was impossible to get the bead seated again with a hand pump.

According to BRR the G-One are not very quick at all.

Currently thinking either Conti Terra Speed or GK Slick, both 650b x 40

I have 47mm Conti Terra Trail on the mud wheels and love them, easy to mount too. Seems kinda silly to have a set of “road” wheels with very similar small knob tyres but according to BRR the Terra Speed roll as fast as slick GKs 🤷

Cost is the same, my only concern is the Contis wear quicker, especially if I ride them on tarmac mostly. I’m not sure I’ve ever worn a tyre out though so yeah, maybe not an issue.

Noice. Flow and return buried in the ground?

Any leads on a slick & fast rolling 650b tyre around 38mm?

Gravel King Slick is the easy answer but I’ve never been able to mount one without the compressor so not ideal for commuting & winter road rides

@Fox managed to empty a cylinder into his house and lived to tell the tale 😂

dis all I got for ye

I used to have this - once I accepted I have big feet and sized up for shoes my socks last much longer.

Never owned waterproof socks but got excited by the idea of a bargain

On Belgian and Belgian adjacent beers, this slaps

They have some at my mates bar, just opened on Mare St!

Gonna be so good. Is the room ok? I bet they sound wild in a bare warehouse. Actually I imagine sacks of coffee beans are probably pretty good acoustically

Got very wet in Epping Forest today. Hardly any walkers though.

So rad.

Gwan den, what’s the plan?

Looked at this a few times over the last six months. I think Le Shuttle is the way to go

Haven’t ridden Brasted in ages!

For short ones in general, I’ll look at power for the first 30 or 45 seconds, just to keep things in check, then ride on feel. Under two mins is largely a mind game I reckon. You should be absolutely ruined by the effort if you do it right.

Also, save some for the finish. A wise hill climber once said you probably won’t win a HC in the last 100m, but you can definitely lose it.

So you found a company who would quote on the re-gassing? Can you share deets please?

The rooflight company said it’s very rare, sounded genuine so I’m sure you’ll be fine. TBH I imagine it popped when we were manhandling it through the house and onto the roof. Problem with a replacement is, really, it should be craned in 🤯

At least it’s triple glazed so we still have argon & air gap.

They’ll replace the unit, but fitting is on our coin, and would be a nightmare

Unfortunately it’s a 3000x1000 triple glazed rooflight. Not very easy to swap out. Upper chamber has a leak and water vapour inside.

Anyone had a double glazed unit re-sealed and re-gassed in situ?

Thought I’d got a bargain Togo on eBay earlier today before I realised it was a kids size one 😂

So voting Labour doesn’t affect them, or might even cost them more in taxes, but they’re supporting them anyway because they think it will be better for the country and people not as rich as them?

Clearly scum

Right handed everything, I hold my knife and fork the wrong way around.
