Which of these are +/-17 or 10 degree?

As per title, looking for a cheap stem to test out on new bike to get me more upright so my aching lower back doesn't get angry with me. What do people have?

Cheers, they also seem easier to source and cheaper which would be a win.

Where did you source the Rampart from? Trying to decide in these or Horizons, with on triend tan sidewalls.

Yes, I had them mounted tubeless on Hunt wheels using orange seal. It pumped up first time and was holding air without sealant. Once added, I just had to add some air once a week and found it lost 5-10 psi at most over the course of the week.

If you've got the legs for it, I've got an 11-27 cassette going here.

Got an assortment of stuff I need to sell to make space and have some positive cashflow. A lot of the parts are off the Arkose I bought off the forum. If I’m off on the price of the parts coming from this bike, please let me know.

CycleOps Fluid2 turbo trainer = £50 £40 Good condition, haven't used in years. I dusted it off during this whole Covid19 situation but decided I'm just not a fan of turbo trainers in general. Comes with mat and riser blocks and QR skewer. Collection only.

Canyon H17 42cm handlebars – £20 £18 £15 Again, these are off the Arkose I bought before switching to flat bars. Good condition, usually wear where stem and shifters were mounted.

Giant Connect alloy 42cm £10 - Taken off my Giant Contend SL1 bike. Pretty standard compact bars, just wanted bars with a flatter top.

Shimano FC-RS510 52/36 crankset £45 £40 - Taken off my Giant Contend SL1, solid cranset, only done around 300 mostly dry miles. Light wear on the teeth, no other marks on the crankset.

Shimano 106 R7000 52/36 chainrings - £30 New, unused. Taken off crankset to fit ovals so these are surplus to requirements.

Shimano 105 5700 silver 50/34 chainrings - £20 £19 I don’t know where these came from, was going through my box of randomness and found these. Plenty of bite still on the teeth so plenty of life left in them.

Shimano 10speed 11-36 cassette – £15 £14 Good condition, off the Arkose. Plenty of life in them.

Soma Cazadero 700c X 50mm Tubeless - £30 £28 £25
Bought this off @pit for a build that never materialised. Paid £30 so would like £30. In good condition.

Panaracer Gravel King 650b x 42
Found these in my box of randomness. There is still plenty of life in these, though I think one of them I got a puncture on that was sealed up by the sealant at the time. A tyre patch would need to be put on these and you’re good to go if you find it’s not holding air.

Social distancing collection only from near London Bridge Station. For now don't want to post unless it's a job lot purchase.

Very nice. What bottle cage is that?

Pinnacle Arkose MY19 Fork w/dyno routing

Anyone know if the newer fork will fit the 2018 Arkose? Or will I have to settle for this

Other considerations for the bike is a replacement fork so I can run more spaces under the stem to get me in a more upright position. I have to accept my belly and lower back just won't let me get low on the current fork. Temporary solution is high angled stem and riser bar (Specialized Hover?)

Confusingly Evans have two similar (to my eye) forks. Ideally I'd get the latter so I can run dynamo cables internally.

1. Pinnacle Arkose Carbon Thru Axle Fork

2. Pinnacle Arkose MY19 Fork w/dyno routing

Anyone know if the newer fork will fit the 2018 Arkose?

Ooooo

Just picked up @edscoble Arkose and now my thoughts turn to modifying it to make it even more functional.

Presently it's set up with the bulbous RS405 shifters with flat-mount brakes and Paselas in 650b 42mm flavour. This is the starting point for my upgrading.

Drivetrain/groupset - I was set on converting this to a flat bar and running MTB groupset to allow me low gears for towing the soon to be two kiddos in a trailer. However, cycling on drop bars for the first time in a while, I was reminded how fun it was to get on the drops with a clear road in front of you (thanks London FreeCycle) and go as hard as I can go in as aero a position as my stomach allows. So, now I'm thinking of maybe sticking to the dropbar setup.

Potential setup 1. 105 R7000 hoods, and swapping the 11-36 for an 11-42/46 with a 40 or 42 single ring up front. That should get me low enough for towing the kids.

Potential setup 2. Same gearing as above, and either see if SLX brake levers will work with the 105/405 flat mount brakes or get some Clarkes M3 brakeset and get adapters to fit the calipers to the flat mount on bike/fork.

As for wheels, what's good in the 650b x 47-50mm range, mostly for roads with the occasional foray off road but nothing gnarly.

At any rate, time to get the bike stand out and get to work.

Thanks @edscoble... Just got an Arkose

But now... I had fully intended to convert to a flat bar, but it was fun getting into the drops and go hell for leather

PM'd re/ Hunts

Could do, in not such a great rush. Right now the bike configuration is all in the head

Cool. I'm just about to get a bike off this forum with levers and calipers that I was looking to replace as I plan to convert it to flat bar. The calipers of flat mount though.

Just the levers or the whole setup?

The Midnight Spesh fork would allow me to run their 8 or 24 pack racks on the Arkose...

By Saturday/Sunday if I can get myself to Purley :D

Ufff, 1.4kg for the fork alone. How does this differ to the one @n3il linked above, other than the thru axle not being included?

Is that basically the same form as the Femur, looks no different

That Landyachtz looks good but too pricey me thinks. The femur looks the job. Just need to figure out what adapter to get to fit on the 1.5" tapered headset of the Arkose which I'm already modding before I've even bought it

That's more than the Arkose you're selling. Wowser!

Any steel fork options, thru axle with the brazeons for silly stuff to fit an Arkose?

Just what I wanted to hear.

what's the thoughts on this?

Halfords double child bike trailer

Is it worth to spend a little more?
