@B0N0R depends on what ones you buy, tektro do some that would fit, rl720's i think, but yeah proper levers would be better

The prices have tumbled with the release of their 1x11 stuff, just had a look and I've messaged @dakin with a set that'll probably go for -£30. A new Rival rear derailleur for £20.

Then you can sell the shifters and rear mech for about £100, buy crosstop brake levers for £15, and you've got £35 to buy some monkeylites.

pm'd you @Dmayn91

Naa in the car...

Yeah definitely, made my week of the worst work I do that much more bearable!

Posted?! dibs if so

No worries, didn't realize you bought the whole group, still might be worth selling the group and buying again. 6600 stuff has held it's value pretty damn well, as have the 7800 cranks.

@swedeee @Dakin I'ma get a bit nerdy here but:
sram's your easiest option, if you go 10speed you can use pretty much any of their MTB or road derailleurs and shifters with each other, because they didn't change their cable pull with it and stuck with 1:1, you could even go 11 if you bought their special 11 speed flat bar shifters but they cost a fair bit for a commuter. You can also go 1x10 if you one of their mtb type2 clutch derailleurs (x7 is cheapest) and ideally a narrow wide chainring
you could easily get sram rival front and rear mechs for £25, and mtb shifters for £25-35 then brakes that work with road pull calipers, cx levers are generally fine.

if you do Shimano they do their stuff http://www.shimano.com/publish/content/global_cycle/en/au/index/products/road/flat_handlebar.html but it all gets really complex as opposed to Sram's

anyway sub'd, there's a pic of a courier's road/cx/workbike thing that i really liked, I'll see if i can find it

Saw you riding it up by Virgina water lake on Thursday (I think?) must've been the final ride! was a seriously good deal

ww - he goes!

If ettix knew there was a crosswind coming off that pave, then that is very clever riding

Devolder in his first crash of the race, 5 more to beat last years record!!

Early predictions for today?

Sagan in a group sprint of 5-8

@Cupcakes http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/fs-chris-king-headset-37

fairly sure he's currently riding Basque? He was on the startlist, may have dns'd

Kristoff is so strong at the moment, begs the question though, will he have this/better form in the summer? or double peak?

I was confused by that too, it's flatter so less chance to get dropped, he's bigger so can cobble-bash, Paolini is more likely to stay with him longer at Roubaix as well; if I had to pick one that he'd do better in I'd say Roubaix

Good race, would've liked to have seen Thomas, Stybar, GVA attack more on the climbs and really force a selection though, they just seemed spent

As soon as EQS got Terpstra up it was always going to be an uphill struggle for Sky having used too many riders earlier on, no clue why Astana or Lotto didn't pull more in the earlier stages of the Kristoff-Terpstra breakaway

How is Griepel taking pulls but Vanmarcke is out the back, this race has it all...

@fussballclub ahhh gotcha, I've already eaten my bodyweight in chocolate, I'm ready to go!

@Chadders81 very true, I like him as a rider too; just not sure he could finish off Thomas and Stybar, those two will try and break him repeatedly if it comes to it

Phinney is still semi-injured, have a look at his instagram, back riding but getting fitness back, there was talk of aiming for the tour, but really I think he's looking at WC's now

I have no clue what that is/means. But I've just checked and it is gonna be live now, with actual racing rather than previews

Live on Eurosport now, links on steephill

I reckon Stybar and particularly Thomas are gonna push the pace so much on the climbs that Kristoff and other sprinters won't be able to get back on. I'm backing Stybar in a match sprint against Thomas and Vanmarcke

Stans grail, flo30's aren't disc specific but will look the exact same with no braking

I'm probably gonna have a spare pair of cleats you can have for £20+postage soon if that helps swing things, speedplay is the future

acetone those canyon logo's off the seatpost and that's a proper nice road bike
