Oh, it's this guy.

Alrighty.

O.K.

This is a special offer on the forum. It's going cheaper than the eBay price by some way.

I'll PM you now.

Thanks. I hope so. I just want to have a night where I can gather wheel nerdz and talk about the topic without boring the absolute shit of an unsuspecting customer who just wanted a brake adjustment....

I'd be "distressed" at @snottyotter's alleged intimacy with your number 2's...

:-D

Bumping to let everyone know that the Ventura overshoes and the Giro 100 Proof gloves are still available.

Shimano Pro Ventura overshoes - new, size XL (for MTB shoes size 40 - 42): £18 on collection or £20 posted.

Giro 100 Proof gloves - medium - used but in very good condition (not worn very many times): £20 collected or £23 posted in the U.K.

I know, I'm just saying that the market is getting a lots smaller now that you can get a cheap rotor that'll outlast ceramic rims.

You are indeed right about CSS being a ceramic coating. My "research" was shit.

I'm thinking of organising an informal wheelbuilding evening one night at the shop I work at in Crystal Palace. Have drinks, maybe build a demonstration wheel, talk wheels, etc (see, my priorities are straight; booze first).
This would be sometime in February, probably. Professional wheelbuilders, amateur wheelbuilders, general enthusiasts, total n00bs; all welcome.
If anyone is interested let me know here and I might start an event thread or summat.

Using the Shimano MW81s right now. They're less bulky than the MT91s I have (which I still like) and from first impressions are warmer. I mostly use the MT91s now for commuting into town and still wanting a SPD shoe that is easy to walk in and doesn't loo so obviously SPD.
The MW81s I keep for any long XC ride I might do.

After Xmas sale price drop to £185 ONO. Price is temporary until the 3rd of January.

After Xmas sale price drop to £50o ONO. Price drop will run until Sunday 3rd of January after that it will be £600 ONO.

There will be ride tomorrow if anyone is interested. Meeting at Dorking train station around 10am.

Plus the Rogate downhill day has been rescheduled for Saturday 16th of January:

Changed date of event to Saturday 16th of January. Anyone else thinking of coming?

Shameless bump.

O.K. Yeah, the weather will have to be reasonable. I don't mind mud but if it's pissing down the entire day I won't be keen.

@Howard , @twist305 , @IR , thinking of rescheduling this for Saturday 16th of January. What think?
If no good we can push it further ahead.

Sorted new living arrangements now so all good to go.

So unless you go completely wild with the pressure you'll have little chance of spraying your milky coloured goo all over your workshop. Fnar.

I assume (and hope) that you do your special tubeless set-up indoors...?

Also, I don't want to ever touch your tyres from here on in.

Have some used Shimano Deore XT hydraulic brakes (M785) for sale with disc rotors (180mm front, 160mm rear) with post mount adaptor for front & IS to PM for rear, new brake pads (non-Ice Tech, Fibrax sintered).
Fully bled with hose length for front RH around 900mm, rear LH around 1220mm.
Would prefer cash and can deliver in London by prior arrangement.
Asking for £80 or nearest offer.

I'd say it's always worth doing if it is out by that much. You will probably not notice it that much if you were to ride that wheel (unless clearance is really tight and you run larger volume tyres than would be usual for the frame potentially resulting in chainstay rub, especially in bad weather, though this would be an extreme case to consider) but for the sake of building a good wheel following basic wheel building principles it should be centred, IMO.

Considering the gleaming look of pride on your face after building two bieks for your children I don't think that "real work" will ever satisfy again.

Apart from, you know, the whole getting paid, food on the table, roof over head for said children thing....
