What's people's thoughts on trailers? I was going to get one of the Hamax rear seats, but with number two on the way, I'm thinking further ahead to when I'd take both.

Anything to worry about with using a trailer on an aluminium bike?

I would think so, but someone else more knowledgeable might know better

Has anyone put a steel fork on the Arkose, ideally thru-axle? Would like to be able to use Surly's 8 or 24 pack front rack or similar but think this can't be done on the stock carbon fork from the 2018. Anyone have any recommedations?

Arkose 2018, max clearance with guards for 650b, anyone know?

How do you find these brakes? What are you using it on?

And on another note, anyone have experience using Shimano road disc calipers with their mountain bike levers?

Ooooo... That would be ace. Trying to see if I can leave the little munchkin behind this weekend and give it a look over.

Great, then I'm keen. Looking at geo charts, at 5"9 I should fit just fine on this.

I'm very interested in this. Random question, do you or does anyone know if there would be any issues with the hamax child seats that attaches to the seat tube and this or aluminium bike in general?

Anyone had any issues with the hamax or similar seats that attach to seat tube in aluminium bikes, namely the Pinnacle Arkose as one has dropped up on the classifieds

WOW!

Interested in the Soma tyres, PM incoming

Thinking of building up a do-it-all child carrier. Was going to go with the 2x XT M8000 build, but wonder if it's best to save money and go with the SLX M7000 and put that money somewhere else on the bike. What I am missing out by going SLX?

They have them at Seabass Cycles, in Peckham. I was just there yesterday ogling at them. I'm divided between this or the Brother Kepler or going full silly and getting the Brother Big Bro

What bike is that?

Just a touch too big for me. GLWS

How tall are you, I have a sneaky feeling the Kepler might be too big for me. This might be a good thing

What's the weight limit of the front mounted bike seats as compared to rear seats?

Flirting with the idea of building up a Surly Ogre as my commuter, toddler carrier, weekend adventuring bike and thinking about what tyres to run. I'd say I'd be mostly 80/20 paved road/off-road so something with a smoother tread would be ideal. Pretty sure I'll be running 29er/700 wheels but open to 650b too. Ideally tubeless as well. Nothing too wide, 50-60mm for 29er/700 or 2.2-2.4" for 650b.

Got a Bolt for sale. Drop me a message

Bike is sold to @OpaquePineapple Take good care of it :D Thanks everyone for your interest.

Shing

@Simon33133, @Saffronspokes if no interest by next week I'd be willing to split.

For reference, I'm 5"9 and it's definitely on the large size for me, hence the short stem. I was advised by seller to go for the medium. With that in mind, I think for 6'0-6'1 it would be bang on. If you're in London, happy they let you have a spin on it

Details of the build can be found here.

After much soul searching and with number two on the way, I need to clear space and put some money away for a rainy day, and so I'm selling my good bike. This is my Carbonda CFR505 Di2 "New York Mets" bike. Details are:
Frameset: Carbonda CFR505 in New York Mets colours. Comes with third bottle cage mount on underside of downtube and BSA threaded bottom bracket.
Groupset: Shimano Ultegra Di2 R8070 with RS785 shifters and BR805 disc calipers. 50/34 172.5mm cranks, 11-34 cassette.
Wheels: Replaced the HEDS with Hunt 4Season Gravel Disc which I only bought at the beginning of the year and has done less than 200 miles as I've been off my bike for most of this year. Tyres are new as well, and they're the Pirelli Velo Cinturato 35mm setup tubeless with Orange Endurance sealant.
Finishing kit: Ritchey EvoMax 44cm handlebars, ULTIMATE USE Race stem 90m +/- 8 degree. Saddle is a Fabric Scroop Pro Shallow with carbon rails.

I'm looking to sell the bike as a whole for £1,350

For now I'm looking to sell the bike as a whole. I would consider splitting but only if a buyer takes the whole groupset and wheelset. I'm happy to keep the frame for the future.

I'll post more photos later this evening.

Family needs means I may need to consider the almost unthinkable and sell my good bike and just ride my beater all day long.
Need help on pricing it up.
It's a Carbonda CFR505 with almost full Ultegra R8050 Di2 barring the R785 shifters. Other key details, 50/34 172.5mm cranks, 11-34 cassette (bought recently so some less than 100 miles. Bought the groupset last April and I've not done much riding in that time due to little baby. All told, I'd say it's done much less than 1,500 miles. Wheels bought a couple of months ago and are Hunt 4 Season Gravel discs with Pirelli Velo Cinturato 35mm. This combo has less than 200 miles in them. Other bits are a USE 90mm +/-8° 90mm stem and Ritchey WCS Evo Max 44cm bars. Not include are the saddle, pedals and top tube bag and bottle and cages.
I was thinking £1,350 for the whole lot, maybe a little less. Thoughts? Of course, I'm in two minds whether or not to sell right now.
