Re: New (carbon?) wheels

If you’re Peak based, I can recommend 18bikes in Hope as a wheel builder. I’ve had several sets built there- using dt 240 hubs and they have all been great. One set has done nearly all the bb200 events and 1 3/4 HT55Os and is still going strong.

Re: What do you recall from your 2 days (BB200s)

My two most vivid memories are: 1. My GPS failing on my first go in 2012. I then realised the paper maps I thought I had in my jersey pocket had disappeared! I bought a new map in Rhayader and used that to finish. 2. Getting very cross when I got stuck in a fence around a pheasant enclosure towards ...

Re: Flat shoes - recommendation

Vaude moab stx are my current favourite winter flat shoe/boot. They are waterproof and give good pedal grip. Only issue is walking in them on anything slippery as they have a completely slick sole, not ideal for the wet moorland round here! Best I’ve found though overall.

FS: Salsa Cutthroat XL 2x11 SRAM Rival

I am selling my cutthroat as I am not riding it enough to keep it. It is in good condition and has not had a hard life. It has had protective tape on most wear areas since new, so is cosmetically good, with just a few superficial scratches on the forks. It is the stock rival build and red in colour ...

This might be a bit overbuilt for what you are after, but I have a blunt rim on a hope pro 2(?) 6 bolt hub that is gunmetal in colour. Also has a shimano freehub. Let me know if it is of any interest.
