Re: Spokes
I used some pillar spokes from aliexpress that are very similar to the cx-ray http://s.aliexpress.com/JN3ueYzY They were fine to build with but you’ll need a bladed spoke holder to get them straight without marking them. Using them scratched an itch I had but I have since defaulted to sapim d-light ...

WTB asym i35 rims 650b
I have 2 rims that I’ve changed my mind on and am about to return to CRC. I paid £45 per rim, looks like they’re now selling for £61 so if anyone is considering then a chance to get them a bit cheaper

Re: Battling the evil turbo
I’d recommend getting on the turbo at 1959 on a Thursday evening. If your in an urban setting you’ll get a round of applause just for getting on it!

Re: Wtd Cargo trailer
Hi Stu,
I bought one here that isn’t ideal for what I want on reflection, but it’ll only take 26” wheels. Think I paid £50 plus postage and Includes the dry bag. Let me know if you want some photos

Re: Wanted On One Geoff Bars
I have a set that I offered up to my cargo bike and decided they didn’t offer me anything extra. Looks like they’re £25 on on one plus postage depending on how much you spend overall. I’m open to offers. I’m in Cardiff if you’re local to there and wanted to collect.

Re: Any thoughts on the poorer cousin of the MW7: anyone (winter shoes again, sorry)
I have a pair - find them comfortable and they keep feet dry. I get cold feet and when it’s cold out on long rides my feet will still freeze in them. I have some 45Nrth Japanthers which are a very definite step up in warmth. I’m not sure how suitable the MW5s would be for long days out in winter dep...

Re: Peaks200 crib sheet prep/Qs
My memory of that is that the track off to the left isn't initially obvious but just as it goes over the crest of the hill becomes obviously surfaced. Case of following the gpx line.
Even more vague but if you miss it recall a stream crossing then a left hand bend and possibly a slight rise

Hi, I have a set of forks is be willing to sell from an 19" frame that I've got a very seized seatpost in. Looks like the headtube is 110mm on mine rather than 120mm on the XL. Bit difficult to measure exactly the steerer length but it's ~200mm. If you're interested let me know and I'll drop th...

Re: Wheel building woes
Could be when you have put in the first spoke on the 2nd side you lace up that you have chosen the wrong hole in the rim - 1 too far round or not far enough if that makes sense. Think I've managed to do that and get problem you describe. Effectively the 2 patterns are laced at different angles on th...
