I originally ordered the equilibrium disc 10 and test rode it the other day. I liked it even though it is relatively low spec build.

I have my voucher now but haven't spent it yet as I'm considering building either up from their frameset option as I have a group and I want a dynamo wheelset which means the cost of starting from scratch and the c2w voucher near enough equal out. hmm...

Why did you go for the cdf over the equilibrium in the end? I'm currently trying to decide between the two.

@danstuff thanks

@lardboy I thought they were tubeless ready meaning they could take a normal tyre and tube as well?

@Alb I think you work at genesis, if not please ignore. Is there a published weight for the equilibrium? What are the OLD and max tyre sizes for both frames.

@jontea I believe you went for the croix de fer. Have you any thoughts.

I went and test rode an equilibrium disc 10 yesterday. I really liked it but it's not quite exactly what I want. Ideally I'd like a 105 group and a dynamo front hub. By the time I've bought these and with my job uncertain for the next 12 months it doesn't make sense to buy on the cycle2work scheme anymore so I'm thinking about building from scratch.

With this comes its own problems; should i buy the equilibrium disc frameset or the croix de fer frameset?

There doesn't appear to be much difference between the two so I'm swaying towards the equilibrium as I prefer the colour scheme.

I'll build it up initially with a 5700 105 Group (I have this spare already) and some TRP Spyre Calipers.

I'd also like to build up some nice wheels. I was looking at Pacenti SL25 rims, which are on offer at Planet X at the minute. I'd like the front to have a dynamo and was looking at a shutter precision. I dont know what to use on the rear. I think i'd prefer 6 bolt fitting so I can use the rotors that come with the spyres.

Anyone advice welcome and perhaps heeded.

really more notchy than the shimano? they feel pretty notchy, can't say i've noticed the notchiness while riding though.

which model novatec?

hmm, @edscoble Were you a fan of the CL25s?

I'm also on the look out for a rear disc hub which will take a 11 speed cassette. Thinking about using a shutter precision dynamo up front.

disc specific rims for a commuter? Was considering Pacenti CL25 on offer at planet x for 29.99. Anything else I should consider?

I have a few questions for the hive mind:

Should I buy a 2015 genesis equilibrium disc frameset or the croix de fer instead? Is there much difference between the two?

Can anyone recommend a cheap wheelset to go with the above? (should I go 650b?)

Where the cheapest place to get a pair of trp spyres? And, are these the still the best option if not going full hydro?

Out of interest what wheel/hub are you going for?

To me, that sounds like they are building them to order (well they might have stock of popular combos) so are just going to use the other hub when they do build it.

Maybe send one more email for confirmation stating exactly what you want and then pay with a credit card. If anything goes wrong (I don't think it will) your cc provider should sort it out.

I dont know about all the wheels, but I was in conversation with them about building up a pair that wasn't listed on their site so I assume they build some of them.

I was quoted € 132,00 at the time for Mavic A119 plus Tiagra hubs, which i thought was a pretty good deal, but i bought the dynamo hub one instead.

I've ordered quite a few things from them in the past. They've always arrived promptly. My dyna hub front wheel was built by them and is still true. They seem to respond to emails quite quickly as well if you need to speak to them.

Does anybody have one of these they want rid of?

Options for a carbon fork with disc brakes and mudguards? I was going to buy a equilibrium disc but I'm having seconds thoughts and might get a frame built.

Also a set of wide rimmed disc brake wheels for cheap?

Did you win this on ebay not long ago? I really liked it but it wouldn't of fitted, I still nearly bid though as it looks well fun.

It looks to be in better knick that i remember.

thats my problem, I don't know if some stuff is better that other stuff and there is just so much stuff on ebay to trawl through.

Where is the cheapest place to get some helitape? I've been meaning to get some for my cranks.

i think someone here was selling a croix der fer fork @jontea maybe?

This is a good idea. I'll give them a ring when they open. Thanks.

How do you deal with the agonising wait between applying for a cyclescheme voucher and actually getting one. I was all excited about a new bike and now I find out it will likely be a couple of weeks?

Id fitted mine before I read this. I now can't tell whether its off a fraction or if its just because you mentioned it.

I suppose it'll distract me from my other constant niggle of whether my shifters are slightly out of line or whether one arm is longer than the other.

I'd decided on these in gumwall before and then realised they didn't make them.

I meant the SCs I think.

I have the clearance for the Stradas. The main thing putting me off if the cost and this review where they look a bit delicate:

They look comfy though...

The biancas or the Corsa SLs? The corsas are £54 a pair at ribble at the minute which is tempting.
