Hnnnnngg.... hmmm... mmmm... page 19, am i rite?

What's the best laytex, for sidewall protection? Copydex?

Would also like to know this.

Another tubular noob question. What do you use to fix loose basetape? I've heard people use Latex glue, Barge Cement aka contact cement for soles and the like, or just tubular glue.

I still don't see the absolute necessity of that shim. The transition on mine seems great without (on compact drops).

What is your best tip for cleaning dirty gum sidewalls and cx tubulars. Americans recommend Mineral Spirits. Other alternatives?

Hulsroys awesome CX-race promotion video (with at least one SS, me) at our local velodrome.

Bummer. How about?

Moving on to gif.

He crosses the line in a fairly mediocre time.

Ridden mechanical for a year in all conditions. Had a slight issue with water freezing my cables up last winter (-10C), but otherwise no problems. I put plenty of grease under the rubber hood at the end of the cablesock. No problems since. Top up after a couple of powerwashes.

From what I've read, spyres are lighter, and wear the pads more evenly but lacks overall power. Modulation is only on par with the BB7's so it doesn't buy you any finesse.

I've also heard the opposite of Souls experience.

The TRP parabox system uses the same stuff and generally they are liked.

I'd take a guesstimate and say BB7 gives 80-90% of the experience. Hylex wount save you any weight, but give that little bit extra in terms of braking, and hopefully ease the maintenance.

Cross post... get it?

Unfortunately most of decently prices alu frames for disc have Pressfit BB86 bottom brackets or regular BSA. There are frames out there with the above spec, but they are so expensive you might aswell hop on the orient express and go carbon all the way.

So santa lives in Finland. And he uses walking sticks. Who knew.

Gumwall is not a good idea for non-dentist riders like most of us. They are not very pretty after a surprisingly few runs in the mud. And the sides scar fairly easily. All blacks will keep the fresh look for longer.
If you want gums because it looks good. Think again. If you want it because they grip well, fair enough.

Also, don't save money on tyres. Tyres are THE most important component on the cx bike. Don't save money there if you actually likes to ride cyclocross.

AND you can get Grifo's here for £40. http://www.bike24.com/1.php?content=8;navigation=1;menu=1000,4,22,35;product=22166

Yeah, more money on better tyres and wider rims.

Less money on bling like Thomson.

I'd wait for the new pomp. Should hopefully be a slight upgrade for SSCX purposes. Great value.

Next best thing is to try and find a second hand frame with BB30/PF30 and fit an EBB.

Third option is to look at what purpose built frames are available right now. That 8 Bar TFLSBERG look kinda promising. A bit like a Pre Cursa Cross. 130mm which is truly the better option. 488euro.

Most likely with an EBB like the one futher up.

Minus the bottlecage pls.
