Any updates? Still wish I had bought this!
-
Should there be some of those silver conical(?) washers that go between the mount and caliper?

Exposure tracer with the standard seatpost mount.

I’m surprised you found someone willing to even do the work, and only charge 30€. I’m not an engineer but seems drilling and putting a rivnut into used carbon fork legs would be risky.

Raceware produce various Exposure mounts for aero seatposts (page 2):
https://www.racewaredirect.co/product-category/exposure-lights/There is also the seat stay mount and a saddle mount available (from Raceware).
I've used the Mk3 Blaze daily for over a year. It's very bright, I really like the diffuser Exposure use on their lights. Never used the Pelton mode. Tried the Braking mode for a while but always wondered if car drivers really associate the light getting brighter/flashing stopped with me slowing down.
They come with a 2 year warranty, are made in UK and can be sent back to Exposure (in the UK) to be repaired, if needed, so less chance of just ending up in landfill.
Only two things to mention - doesn't use a usb input for charging (never been an issue for me) and I have found its easy to knock when in the mount (plastic mount + metal light body), so sometimes I noticed it isn't directly point backwards. I also have an Exposure Trace daybright which I'm really impressed with. Would only ever buy Exposure lights from now on.
If you don't need the battery life of the Blaze then I would go for the TraceR. It also has the better mount.

Thanks for the reply. Always prefer to buy from the smaller cycling businesses if I can afford it. I only discovered Albion recently through your posts on here.
Out of interest do Albion do repairs in-house or are they done at Lancashire sport repairs?
-
I think it is a Dolan track champion frame
That's not a Dolan Track Champion. I'm not sure if its a Dolan as it doesn't look like it has the rear dropout inserts?
-
You can also remove the same amount from the freehub body (instead of having a cassette machined). Can be done at home with a file.
-
Contact the seller, tell him you want to buy it, get their address and challenge them in person/call the police and let them know of the situation. This might be difficult now the seller has removed the listing from Ebay, sounds like they got worried after you contacted them. If it gets listed again, hit the buy-it-now.

Does Albion offer an industry discount? Rapha offer 20% and its one of reasons I buy Rapha as it makes it just about obtainable for me (cycle courier), plus the repairs and customer service is good. I like to buy from companies that offer repairs of kit (Patagonia) and I see Albion do.

Would this be a good cold/autumn weather combination - longsleeve core jersey + insulated brevet gilet? I already have a longsleeve base layer.

What is going on here?

Omnium CXC. Clearance for 45c, mudguard + rack mounts.

You can usually find On One Pompinos on eBay/Facebook marketplace.

I can’t help, but whatever you do don’t pay by direct bank transfer. Unless you have the bike in “your” hands.
-
I've found Facebook marketplace to have better deals than Ebay for bmxs. Lots of custom/semi-custom completes on there. All depends on your budget.
-
@Cracked_Seattube has/had a 56cm Surly straggler for sale.
-
After the intial setting up (about 5 mins of adjusting) they take about 30 seconds to install/remove each time. It's just a rubber strap to stretch around the fork legs and seatstays.
I use to have an ass saver/mus guard on my work bike, but found them useless and bought a pair of Raceblade Xl's and never looked back. Been using the same ones for 4/5 years now.
-
I would spend abit more and get a pair of Raceblade Pro XL. The flaps slightly short but easy to DIY some longer ones.
