Cool, ta - have passed on.

You still got this? Mate who's now in post-op recovery himself might be interested!

No problem, looks amazing!

Here you go - Arlon to Annecy 2023 route: https://ridewithgps.com/routes/42154624

The second and third legs overlapped so I split the second leg where the third leg started and then joined them there. Hope that's what you had in mind?

Yep will do in a few mins 👍🏼

Just remember that with great power comes great responsibility 👍🏼

So just in case anyone's intersted, the conclusion of this https://www.lfgss.com/comments/16871982/ is essentially that my hand was forced a bit as I was looking more closely at the rear wheel and quite a few of the nipples were visibly corroded and in fact a few were cracked - one flaked to bits at the slightest touch, so I've had the wheel rebuilt with brass nipples and CX-Ray spokes and bearings all replaced as well. All feels perfect and runs quietly and smoothly, finally! So, sounds like the issue was any of the spokes, corroding nipples or worn bearings - can't tell which but glad to have sorted it!

On other news, was putting it all back together and noticed the surface finish of the not that old Ultegra Di2 rear mech is flaking off and looks corroded underneath, so next thing to sort isn't far behind, depressingly enough...

Cutting out straight away is also very likely an indication that it thinks part of the hose or the filter or something else is blocked - our basically almost new one which has no issues other than that shit design does it all the time too, it's a massive pain! If you forensically unblock each and every part of the assembly, I wouldn't be surprised if it solves it (and flashing warning lights may also stop flashing as a result).

Cheers, all useful

Three excellent and helpful replies, thank you! Will take those on board.

Never dabbled in this thread before, but interested to get a second, third... opinion on something from neutral bystanders!

Sold a carbon seatpost on ebay. Described as good condition used. Reserve was low as it was in a batch of stuff I was clearing out without trying to push for a high sale price, just wanted it gone.

Sent it the day after sale, it was attempted delivered two days later. Issue with Royal Mail and the buyer taking the delivery meant it didn't actually get delivered for another 8 days, but that was out of my hands. Now arrived, buyer is complaining that it is more marked, scuffed, visibly worn / used than described and it "didn't arrive on time", and wants a refund. I have got plenty else going on domestically and personally that I don't really have energy to engage, but am minded to reply along the lines of:

"Item is as described and as per photos on listing. It looks like a used carbon seatpost looks, i.e. visibly marked and surface scuffs etc. and for the price paid it is as described. It was sent ahead of schedule and other than your issue with accepting it would have been delivered well on time. Sorry, no refund."

On the one hand I could refund, relist, and more clearly zoom in on the surface marking etc. to emphasise it. On the other hand, the guy's got a used carbon seatpost for a good price which is functionally perfect, and I can't really be bothered...! Thoughts and view gratefully received!

I've got a HUNT 4 SEASON DISC WHEELSET in black that is now surplus to requirements, all running fine and pretty true as far as I know when I last used them. They were on my Fairlight until they got upgraded and running fine. Shimano freehub, QR, centrelock disc.

Collection would be N8, I guess around £115 would do if you're interested. Can get pics later, though they need a clean I think!

Edit - they may not be 32h, in fact according to what Hunt seem to say about the current version... let me go and check! Further edit - yes, 24h/24h so not 32 thought that's what I'd have assumed they were! Available if of interest nevertheless.

Stumped is pretty fitting...

Is there a bonus point if the same suspicious looking guy is still in the window by the luminous teepee? 😀

Is it one of those things that's actually not too bad or time-consuming once you get the hang of it? Or is it a horrific time-consuming tearing your hair out nightmare that never seems to end?

I'll definitely pass it on and we'll look at reporting it, cheers both

Definitely the first one - I rode up it yesterday morning and the righthand of the two arrow signs in the street view pic is bent out of shape, I wondered if a car had crashed there and leaked oil all over the road.

Something up with the road there - my mate stacked it on Saturday, fucked his collarbone bad - has to have an op this week to correct it. Said he saw four others stack it in the same spot while he was waiting to be picked up to go to A&E (he was in no state to be waving people down and warning them, not sure who else was around) and apparently Strava flybys suggested others had done the same!

I like them but happy to bow out, go for it 👍🏼

Ha - I'm quite near you so am kind of tempted to take a look, I quite like the hideousness! :D

I'll take the blue Rapha mitts for free with the Rapha Classic mitts, please.
And I'll take the Rapha Classic mitts for free with the blue Rapha mitts, please.
When can I collect?

😀

👍🏼

Thanks - I have switched the freehub and had the cassette off and back on during the checks to date and certainly seems well cranked down (don't actually use a torque wrench on it but "very tight" is the extent I've gone to which has never caused this issue before over the years so am fairly sure it's not that) - going by that numbering, the ones that are the cause of the issue are basically 11 - 8...!

That's a really good shout, hadn't thought of that cheers - I'm going to do some checks of my own over the weekend and will definitely look into that as a possibility!

Cheers - they did do that, but although I haven't had a chance to properly ride it to confirm, very brief ride down my road cranking the problem gears suggested it's made little to no difference... partly why I'm a bit dubious about the actual source! I will investigate a bit further over the weekend and see what I can establish for myself...
