Going between pedalsure, bikmo and pedalcover and can't work out what's best. I'm only looking at insurance as I've just stuck a Quarq dZero on my mostly second hand 'Dale, which adds £600 to the price. Spec is System Six, Force 22, Stayer carbonz which to replace new (with a supersix/caad 12) would run to the region of £3000. Now obviously, I didn't pay that; I paid about £250 for the frame, £200 for the group, £600 for the wheels, making the total value 'to replace' at around £1800, as I wouldn't buy new.

As someone asked above, if I only get £2000 worth of insurance, which is what I deem it would cost me to build a similar bike now, am I going to get rinsed by the insurers? I asked Bikmo about the possibility of insuring just the powermeter and wheels but they'll only do complete bikes.

I really don't want to spend £250 a year on insurance for a bike which I only really take out on Sundays, but I know I'd be gutted if I didn't and I killed it in a crash, although if a driver is at fault do they pay out anyway?

In fact, maybe I don't need insurance at all! We've never had home insurance and I'm loathe to pay it as I don't think I'd ever claim it and end up paying more in premiums; the only thing I have insured is my phone as breaking that is likely/inevitable.

Didn't expect you to! I'll have a look at myhermes and update.

Had a look - Myhermes definitely seem to be the way to go. Cheers @user82960. PM me @thrasher, it'll be £2.79 if I can keep it under 1kg.

I've never managed to get bars to pass the dimensions, I'll investigate those options though - cheers

Yes, 42cm CTC, they're the '44cm' model. Postage will be £7 so might be worth grabbing something else too or you'll be paying new prices basically!

Trying to get on top of my 'nice' parts bin before the new baby arrives, so hoping to shift this stuff quickly. Well open to offers of combinations on a lot of it.

I'm in York so it'll probably need posting, it should all be about £4 RM 2nd class apart from bars which are about £3 myhermes.

PM is king, as ever.

Of course! It was a very interesting project, mumsnet is a good site/site for studying power relations.

That's rad.

I just wrote a (psychology) masters thesis using it to explore how identity work is done on mumsnet. Considered doing LFGSS for a brief period, but I had a limited word count.

That's fine man, saw your comment up thread. No rush.

Just paid you for 2x white 2 x black. Cheers!

Ah yeah! It's vegan too.

All looks a bit foffa-esque, tbh. Importing mass produced frames and adding hipster tax. What year is it?

Just raised an issue with Paypal for 'goods not as described'. Expecting a full refund though when they get their shit together.

I haven't either, but have raised a ticket with paypal as it looked like I was still being charged for shipping.

out of interest, where did people find out about it outside of this thread? Lucky browsing or something smarter?

6 here too. We got greedy guys. They surely won't ship.

Remember when probikekit (I think) had 1p a metre outer cable and they shipped it to someone on here? Great day, that. I seem to remember there being something negatively priced somewhere, so they paid you to buy it. They honoured that too. What I'm saying is... it might happen.

Meant to be very good. Pretty sure this has to be a glitch but ordered a few for spares.

Wondering this too. It seems a BKool smart GO is the cheapest option but I don't know how the smart resistance stuff works with a wheel-on (as opposed to direct drive) trainer. I'm using my power meter and a dumb turbo for zwift now, but I'd be interested to see what it's like with a proper 'smart' turbo. I just feel like a wheel-on smart turbo would be subject to wheel slipping when the resistance changed.

Castelli for cheap at sigma today. CYBER20 is 20% off all sale items (not black friday ones) and there doesn't seem to be a max discount. Makes a Gabba 2 £60.

Awesome. You can cancel straight away and still use the service until November 2018, as far as I can tell.

It makes no sense, and rubs salt in the wound of me not being able to afford one.

Not sure 'raped' is the right word to use, but yeah, it's a supersix. Currently for sale too! https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Cannondale-Super-Six-Carbon-Single-Speed-Bike-Commuter/292325845699?hash=item440ffa6ac3:g:n-EAAOSw9KhaBiBh

WHYYYY?

It's been on there a while, I can't work out why it hasn't sold. Odd size maybe.
