Provisional dibs on Vittorias, have you got a pics? Which are they TLR or standard G2.0?

Because its nice gear for someone willing to put up with the hassle of dealing with you, and you have a free up so your thread stays on top.

You managed to disregard most classified rules of this community, the least you can do is take a tongue in cheek comment with grace.

Ive just read through these 5 pages and honestly, until now I wasnt 100% turned off of Rapha, but now I am.

What is the biggest influence over Raphas market share?

Just dropping in to say hi, and that I'll take these if Grifffff and gdkhgd and Bigteef and PhilDAS and tjmw don't.

PM sent

Id like the Specialized Axis front wheel, sending PM

literally just came here to tag you

Thanks!

Whats the forum recommended brake pad of choice for TRP spyres?

Dibs rest of the di2 cables (1x350, 1x550), pm incoming

You arent really missing anything :D With the amazing weather forecasted for next week, put it on for a trainer session, its a legit good watch. The dudes style is not for everyone thats for sure.

Havent been following this thread long enough to know if the previous Impossible Route was posted or not, but here it is:

Been to this mountain by car, it must be an insane climb on the bike. And just the whole route is stupid as it is. 10/10, would livestream on insta

Just checking in, will you tag those of us with a dibs, or drop a DM if split is happening?
GLWS regardless!

No thank you, I have already taken too much of this forums goodwill, I wouldnt want you to sell them at such a steep discount! /s

Those kits sold for £800+ were mental. But then again a standard kit costs £300 nowadays so...

I think theyre size 42. Im sorta moving between flats, I should have it with me next week. Ill drop you a PM so I wont forget!

Edit: Nevermind, they are already here with me. PM incoming!

Love it.
Ps: Your tinkering is always great inspiration!

Only relevant thing I can think of is protected characteristics, and having kids dont seem to be clearly one of them, as long as theyre already born, and not on maternity leave anymore.

Age being one of them, people still advertise 60+ etc... its all really a matter of "will someone actually take me to court for this?". Reckon "no kids" is a lot more likely to fly under the radar than say "no X religion".

Id love to have these if they'll fit! Happy to both donate to forum, and put up freecycle my barely used Northwave shoes that are way too large :)

That new EF kit looks awesome. Cant wait to not to buy it for £600.

Dibs seatpost if split

Thanks for the offer! I decided to buy the metal ice toolz one. I reckon the BB is pretty stuck and I tried with a plastic adapter already, and it snapped. Granted, it was 3d printed from PLA, not from nylon like the shimano one, but under normal circumstances it works.

The angled faceplate+insert works flawlessly with the di2 junction holder. Wont bore you with pics, looks just the same just 1.5mm thinner.

Back to the Dolan Crack Champion project. Redesigned the jig from scratch in a simplified manner, and it seems quite sturdy. Now just need to make the sliding dremel mount and thats where the fun begins! :)

The plan is to mill it down to a 31.8mm diameter and fit a standard clamp on it. Ive got adjustable stoppers (bolts that screw into the nuts glued into the jig) on both sides to ensure consistent diameter.

PS: If you know of anyone whos got a Dolan Track Champion cracked at the same spot (there were plenty of them), let me know, I'd be happy to fix other's frames once the method proves successful :)

Its everything I've never wanted!

Has anyone got a BB tool for an Ultegra BB-R60 bottom bracket, since shimano decided that they need 3 different BB tool standards for their road lineup?

Looking for either a converter like TL-FC25 (but metal version), or the proper Shimano HollowTech II BB60 TL-FC37 version

within reasonable distance from E1

It still bothered me that from one side it looked somewhat bulky (either from the side, or from the top), and wanted to get rid of one of the tabs. Problem was that if I do that, it doesnt really sit flush to the end of the handlebar. I present: V2

Top one is the new version, bottom one is the older. Wrapped it with the thick edge outwards on purpose, it gives it a sharper, better looking end.

So, how does the new version work? It has an inner piece, that latches onto a little hole in the body of the junction (so that it pulls out with the junction if needed), and has two springy extensions creating tension and friction when inserted into the handlebar. Also functions as the part holding the cables in place. On the front of it the "faceplate" part latches onto the top of the junction box as well, and the tension created by the inner part is forcing it to sit against the edge of the handlebar. Rambling over.

Before wrap:

Once given the permanent marker treatment -as I havent got any black material at the moment-it looks rather nice. I can live with this :)

And as I typed out all this, I just thought of V3, where the tension is built into the faceplate by printing the tab at an angle, say 80' instead of 90'. That might work.

And it kinda works with the inside part only, but I wouldnt trust it on some bad roads, might shake out.
