Sram 1x would be perfect for me( in fact it currently is, on 2 bikes) Tempted for commuting actually.

Option 3, buy 2

BETD it also fits a couple of Boardmans.

Hi ton, is this a standard cassette or xd please?
Cheers.

That brings back memories, I lived on the south end of that bridge in the mid/late 80s.
Sounds a bit like Trigger’s broom

And dropped of a Brooks C13 saddle. The bottom drawing for the new frameset continues:)

Locus gear Khafra maybe? I have the Khufu and really like it. Trailstar also, lot of space for not much weight, 2 poles strictly speaking but same principle :) I have the Chinese copy version, only pitched it in the garden so far but it’s huge in there! Literally the full width of my house/garden!! ...

PM’d you.

I’m sure I have some BB5s in a box somewhere. They are packed away at my workplace so won’t be able to check/dig ‘em out before the end of the week if that’s any use to you?

Ffordes are great for used gear generally and over the years I’ve had lots of stuff from them and they’ve always been reliable. Description is usually errs on the “understating” side.
There’s plenty of others in that list:)

Agreed, I looked at prescription Oakleys(I have numerous glasses) but replacing a lens regularly is very costly(£2-300)!!! I use contacts for distance, though they are fine for checking map/phone on bars. My optician said that the £1 shop glasses are fine for reading as the contacts are the prescrip...

I have much the same issue. After lots of trying other things I finally bit the bullet and got contacts( who honestly fancies putting your finger in your eye?!)
I found it far easier than prescription lenses etc and I can wear whatever dummies I like.

I use some of those metal buckles on my camera bag to attach a tripod/3 way head(4kg) and as long as they’re under tension the don’t unhook or slip. There’s a wee lip to stop them coming undone. Even once you’ve slackened them off you have to actually remove them.

Cheers, I’ll try them later. I’m keen to ride the thing now

Yeh, Hope hubs!! I get that bikes are out of stock everywhere, but are folks all converting their hubs to fit their new (12mm) gravel bikes too?!☺️ I’m gonna need a 15-12mm converter for my SON at some point so I guess I’ll try one of those instead for now. Hopefully I won’t be back here ranting abo...

A few weeks ago I was searching for a tool for the hope 30mm BB, no one had one in stack, like anywhere! Even my LBS didn’t have one so I could take the frame in for them to fit one! Now I’m having the same issue with a 12mm front hub conversion kit for my wheelset!!!! Don’t even get me started on w...

A few years ago I was bikepacking around the south of Iceland, riding up to þorsmork on the first few days. Track was pretty(!) rough, especially on 40mm tyres, as a consequence the following day while riding out the rear tyre split at the bead!! Nothing I tried could fix it as it was right on the b...

I really struggle in the heat, anything above about 20deg is really bad for me. Not just uncomfortable but actually effects my health/wellbeing. I had a BBQ lunch with friends on Thursday, loafing on Friday and a ride on Saturday, consistently above 20deg here for most of last week, particularly the...

Not 12 speed unfortunately, otherwise yeh that would be vaguely exciting. The mechs are 10 and 11spd compatible though, I have the same mech on my 11spd tourer and 10spd cx/commuter.
Fingers crossed on 12spd drop bar shifters soon.

I’m currently running a 11spd Rival set up on my gravel/touring bike, 12-50 Sunrace cassette, with no issues at all. I am happy with my BB7s so the braking thing isn’t a problem for me however. In terms of rear mechs all Sram have the same ratio so you can choose to use mtb mechs, or not. I choose n...

If it’s a tapered headset there’s this.

409 a-c so not massively different.

I’ll take the Rival shifters if ZeroDarkBivi doesn’t want them.
