Have you taken the shower screen off and cleaned out the gunk that gathers behind that?

Ok, going to stick this on eBay now, cheers for any interest

I had bont a2's for about 18 months and loved them, they fit superbly and were super stiff. I retired them in June and picked up a pair of bont riots which are complete w4nk in comparison, I almost prefer to ride my road bike with my old bontrager cx shoes!

As for pedals, I use r540's on my track bike and have never managed to pull my shoe out, though admittedly I wouldn't be pushing out that much peak power.

Next on my shopping list are a pair of nicer road shoes again, may just go with a2's again, or track vaypors, and a pair of straps.

No problem @Yukirin such is life!

I'm going to send a few bits home now to avoid panic later in the month, so am updating to remove stuff that's no longer for sale.

Also adding a pair of schwalbe cx pro tyres, barely used, £15

Open to all offers on the above, try me!

Offer £35 can meet in central London, don't need the cassette.

Added this...

Garmin Edge 500, good as new, premium hr strap, sram out front mount, normal mount, transfer cable, £120 (still not sure I want to sell this :-/ )

Maybe £500 is a more realistic price in hindsight...

Its a little bit dirty, but it'll be washed before sale.

Also fitting black bar tape this eve, or if you catch me before then I can use bar tape in any colour of your choice.

And another

Some pics

Just realised I've posted this in the wrong place! Can anyone move it to the complete bikes for sale section?

Sold

Most things still available, added these:

Road brake calipers, taken from a trek madone, not sure what brand, no pads, £20

Miche Primato Advanced track chainring, 50T, seen no more than 20km, £20

@TW make sure to budget for a new grinder soon in that case

@Skull_&_Biscuits drop me a pm to arrange collection

Sorry, I wasn't very clear, I only have one mini-v caliper, not a pair....

I'm getting on ok with it, it can go fine enough to choke my gaggia anyway...

I'm pulling shots at a 1:2 brew ratio in 27/28s consistently, they look great but still trying to perfect taste, though I've yet to reduce OPV pressure, and learn to temperature surf.

Mine is new, so had the later shim kit added to tighten burr tolerance for finer grinds, so maybe that's what's holding you back from producing good espressos?

EDIT: Were you replying to dimi3's post or my post?

Sold

I bought myself a sage smart grinder at the same time :P

@dimi3 yeah perfect! I got my brother one for Christmas along with a v60 and was playing with it when I was back home over the holidays.

Can anyone shed some light on the differences between the "sportive" and "sportive pro" road wheels?

It's a Medium frame, 57cm top tube

With a relocation to Ireland on the horizon, I am considering offering my trusty track steed up for sale. Its taken me to a handful of A cat podiums at Herne hill so a very capable machine.

Frame set is hoy fiorenzuola with standard stem and seat post, 3t handlebars, fizik antares saddle, SRAM omnium chain set, dura ace track hubs, Ambrosio rims. Few different chain rings and dura ace cogs.

About a years service on the frame, 2 months on the wheels.

Would probably sell for £600, otherwise I'll take it with me.

Anyone on here have any experience with a cunill/iberital brasil mc20 grinder?

Just committed to buying a used (albeit only for one month) one for not much more than a brand new iberital mc2.

Can't find much information online, other than the fact that it's got 60mm flat burrs, a 1kg hopper, 600g doser, 275w motor. It looks like a commercial machine, but with a relatively small motor.

Can anyone comment on whether it is significantly better than an mc2? Or would I be better with the new machine complete with warranty....

Looks like you've removed the allen bolts, it's probably never been removed and is sealed in place...

You could try putting a sacrificial screw into the hole where the shower plate screws on and go at it with a pliers?

Or if you plan to replace the gasket, you could try lever it off with a strong knife?

I'm sure someone more experienced will be along to tell you the best way to do it...
