Need to be able to collect in London some point tomorrow. QR, 10-11spd freehub, 6 bolt preferred.

Either a cheap rear wheel, cheap pair, or maybe a nice pair depending on what they are.

Disc brakes. 🙃

A lot of the parts are placeholders at the moment, wanted to get it rolling to get a feel for it.

Need an inline because of the slack ST + long TT so will get something better/nicer than the 3T once my bank account recovers from buying the brakes.

If you can find me a nice post in 30.4 I’ll buy it ☺️

But also not really, 27.2 gives you heaps of option and the ability to spout shite about compliance all over the internet.

Correct size shim and new seatclamp (cracked the old clamp using incorrect size + cans) arrived and it’s now rideable. Few bits of fine tuning and it’ll be done for the moment.

Waiting almost a week for that shim, you know 2020 has been a sh*t show when the highlight of the year is a tiny parcel turning up.

Got some Klampers and not used cable discs before - bit if a pain the arse to set up and not bedded them as waiting for a seatpost shim to turn up so I can ride the bike but...

The manual says adjust until 1” of throw at the lever, I prefer a bit less and would like it at 1.5cm but this is proving difficult. anyone know how I might be able to achieve this without having to true the rotor to perfection?

Or do I need to bed them first then make some more adjustments?

Cheers!

Pretty well. 47c in there with around 10mm clearance. Maybe can squeeze a 2.3”

I’m pretty tall and it was too small, reduced my handlebar choice to only 2 or 3.

Holding it til the end of the month for a member of staff at a shop that’s help me out with some bits over the years.

Banging!

Open prison. I had to strip all the powder off cause it was too thick to get the grips on. pain in the rear but looks cool.

Build paused til mid week as I overtightened the seat clamp and cracked it. Brakes will take a lot of tinkering with too I think.

Trying to up my game on IG as I work as a courier and it’s nice to share things so will post most updates on there: jamestaylortayl for anyone interested.

@M_V sorted me out! Amazing to deal with and got my quite particular wishes exactly as I had imagined in my head.

Hopefully be rolling by the end of the day:

I’ll leave them up here for some days but if nobody wants to collect I’ll give you a shout.

Wheels taken from my ‘cruise around town’ bike as swapping it out for 650/disc.

Good condition: Hubs are not quite matching - the rear hub is a later STX-RC which takes up to 10 speed cassette. Loads of life left on all 3 brake tracks.

Hubs on the 2 wheels with tyres could do with a service if you are fussy but they ride fine. Hub on the spare front def needs a service as it’s dry (but not notchy). 32h on everything.

£50 gets you a pair of wheels, a pair of 1.95 city’s jets with maybe 500km on them, and a spare front wheel (I was gonna put a Dynamo in it).

Collection only from N4.

Nice.

Anyone in the market for some juin R1/F1? new/red

Someone had a mismatched Juin F1/R1 set on eBay so I’ve ordered those but unless the Klampers are complete sh*t think it’s gonna be hard to not run them.

@Josh ‘95 Specialized Rockhopper

Ok. Will decide how pretty the Paul’s are in the flesh then maybe send them back.

Do they come in flat mount or is the F1 the same? + work for ‘Campag pull’?

Klamper is essentially just a shiny made in USA bb7 though?

I read that Spyre’s were better when researching... hopefully I rack up 20+ likes on IG and it’ll all be worth it.

How are the Klampers? I just ordered a set :-)

Post mount calliper on I.S fork for 160mm rotor. 0mm adapter is the right one?

+cats

figure I’ll post on here as not having much luck with the usual places + be nice for me to have another cyclist in the house. Available from 1st. December but can push that to 15th if needed.

The room is approx. 4.5 x 2.8 metres, with a mezzanine bed and comes with a desk and and mattress.

Price includes all bills + boring thinks like cleaning products etc. 1 months rent as deposit and on a monthly rolling contract.

Desk space is available for freelance and/or WFH.

The warehouse has a large open plan living area, which gets loads of light during the day. The kitchen is a bit of patchwork, but is well equipped with a nice range cooker/fridges etc. I have unfortunately managed to kill those huge plants in the first photo (RIP) but we have plenty more. Loads of room for bikes.

2 bathrooms, one of which I have almost finished redecorating, the other one is significantly less aesthetically pleasing but works.

There are 12 rooms/housemates in total, all pretty chilled out, working in a range of different industries such as music, film, art + design, cycle courier (me) etc. Weeknights are pretty much always quiet, weekends are often a bit more relaxed with dinners, drinks + music, but no late night parties or bringing loads of friends around.

I am looking for housemates aged 25-35 who will fit in with the general vibe of the place: Reasonably quiet, respectful and capable of clearing up after themselves. No couples or pets please.

Due to the current situation I will first do a first quick chat via video call, with a view to arranging a proper viewing if that goes well.

If you are interested please send
a message with a couple of short paragraphs about yourself and the date you looking to move. If you require use of a desk in the studio please outline what you need it for.

Cheers,
James

Ah ok maybe the sites I looked at listed the weights incorrectly. 60/50 (dry/wet)
