Price drops - bars £20, wheels £150

Groupset available, as well as everything else unsold

Thanks for all the input. I did go in open and polite, and would have totally just accepted it if they’d said anything like the above. Just didn’t appreciate the attitude. Having read other reviews since, seems sadly common place in that shop. Going to leave it, totally agree nothing gained from bad mouthing online. Cheers

Took a wheel in to have the cassette removed at a small local bike shop. They did it there and then, but it looked like the guy put an awful lot of force through the chain whip. Left with the lockring loose and the sprockets still on the wheel so that I didn’t lose them. Got home and the fourth sprocket in has dug into the freehub body, and it won’t come off. Went back in and very politely asked if they could explain this. They said it can’t possibly be them, they had done me a favour by doing the job in the first place, that I was whinging and called me a liar. He also said they used the second sprocket so it can’t have been them. I’d love to think my legs were strong enough to do this through cycling alone, but I can’t see how else the damage could have occurred. Do i just suck up the cost as an expensive lesson (~£100) learnt? Or try and pursue it further? Appreciate any thoughts

Was wondering if there’s any way I can fit a clutch derailleur onto an existing 2x10 speed sram rival set up? The bike is geared and ridden predominantly for road, but would like to take on gravel more often. Any advice? Thanks :)

Any recommendations on a tubeless ready 700c Disc Wheelset, sub £200? Saw these but not sure

PM :)

Also have a brand new silver 32h Sturmey Archer S2C hub with 22T sprocket if anyone wants to try a similar project. £60

Just listed my Automatix Brompton in the classifieds if anyone’s looking for one, fun ride

Sad sale due to change in job, ironically I don’t have the space for it. Was a really fun project, and it looks pretty lean.

The good:
-SRAM Automatix 2 speed coaster brake hub. Changes speed automatically, kick back coast brake hub. This means no cables going to the rear (16T). No longer made, especially rare in 28 hole drillings
-Brand new Shimano bottom bracket
-Brand new crankset with spare ring (50T and 54T, with guards for both)
-Upgraded lock on grips
-Brand new regular length seatpost
-Extended seatpost
-Upgraded Easy wheels
-Firm suspension
-Extra firm titanium suspension spring
-Brand new front and rear wheels
-Brompton toolkit
-Inner tube stashed main tube
-Brand new kojak front tyre, rear is only a few months old
-Brand new chain
-Recently stripped, washed and reassembled as part of the build
-Homemade toe straps. Easily removable if you don’t get on with them
-Brand new jockey wheels
-Original 2 speed wheelset, brakes and transmission kit included
-Ikea Dimpa bag for transport/storage
-Comes with original receipts/manual/cyclesurgery documentation

The bad:
-Frame paint has had a few small chips as expected, I’ve gone over these with a paint pen
-When pedalling hard the chain occasionally skips. A new rear sprocket should fix this, was the only part of the transmission I didn’t upgrade. Sturmey sprockets are usually a fiver posted.
-Front brake is a little spongy. Original brakes are included, so could swap back to those if preferred.
-Old wheelset and transmission is pretty used. Would need a new cable and sprockets.

Sadly not splitting (unless everything can be vouched for) as I’m moving soon and need everything gone. Let me know if the price is way off, but loads of new and upgraded stuff on there, and a pretty unique set up. Donation to forum once sold.

£750

Collection from Balham / Kings Cross on the weekends only. Thanks!

Sorted, cheers

Hi all, anyone near Dudley area fancy picking up and boxing a bike ready for a courier? Happy to pay for the faff :) cheers

Cheers for all the responses, really useful

Seems to be endless discussions on IGH vs 1x/derailleurs, but anyone got any thoughts specifically for gravel? I use my CdF from everything from audax to gravel to bike packing. Groupset is wearing out and due an upgrade - looking at SRAM 1x or Shimano Alfine 8. Cheers

Bump :)
