Re: The post man's been ...

An 11 speed cassette, not in itself of much interest but, this will be my last ever parcel from Wiggle/CRC :sad: Since I got back into cycling in 2007 they've always been there when I needed them. There wasn't even a last packet of Haribo, end of an erea. Just realised and went to read the reports....

Re: WTD: 27.5 boost rear wheel

Hi Faustus... You sorted for a wheel yet. I just opened another cupboard and out popped a DT Swiss M1700 wheelset. Front has been dismantled so rim only but rear is alive and kicking. It's an XD freehub and if you google it full specs can be found. Smooth bearings. About 35mm internal width without ...
