email me a few pics and I will post the picture up here? Have a few M785 shifter parts knocking around

I’ll have a look at waltly, but I’m not filled with confidence on that front. Or go to Sonder and ask for a custom Broken Road with 5cm taken off the reach and 5cm added to the stack height* to make it suitable for drop bars. The Sonders are made by Waltly I believe. I think what makes the Fargo qu...

+1 for Waltly, very easy to deal with but go for Sliding drop outs (Like the Broken Road mk2) not rocker drop outs (Like the Broken Road mk1)which slip too easily.

which screw and where abouts are you? Is it i-spec or clamp on?

He does. Im sure that will be perfect

XR2 is the old Chupacabra - great tyre, Think get them in 3.0 and 2.6?

Scottish high deathrate is due to 80% population living in the Glasgow-Edinburgh central belt and some of the highest density (& deprived) population in Europe. Compare to the Outer Hebredes, Orkney & SHetland or even Dumfries & Galloway with very low infection and mortality. Sweden has ...

Cheers Shaf - have replied.

Actually those tyres......

Hi Shaf - PM about the bars - cheers Andy

Enjoyed that, the enthusiasm is great. Makes a pleasant change from the Facebook Alaska to Argentina part82 spam. 15k subscribers and 18k views on that film alone. Must be doing something right.

Get off and walk. Never had a problem with a dog once walking. Think they realise you are human and not something to be chased and chewed. Includes the notorious dogs on the Great Divide route as well.

Think has also happened to Evans Cycles twice now?

Once, the fairly recent pre-pack administration sale to SD.

Wasnt the previous purchase something similar as well i.e Buy company and load it with the purchase cost as debt?

It's the new wonderful way of doing business. As far as I understand it, you basically you buy a company by loaning the company enough money to buy itself. The company now has a whole lot of debt and one (two really since you have to include HMRC) secured creditor, the parent holding company. If bu...

How does that work?

I used a 30mm Salsa liplock on my Secan. Fitted perfectly

Loved my old Rooster. As said above, wheels & tyres then forks first parts I would look at. Agree with using Chupacabra or XR2 as now called. Then look at Bars, rear cassette, pedals, chainset if want to get obsessive. Spykes are really good brakes if use compressionless outers and non TRP pads ...

They used to be complete ***** but think since they got hammered by Facebook Marketplace, they have massively improved their customer service. It does seem to go in waves though which I suspect depends on which corporate strategy bullsh!t edict they are following at the time.

Ask them to call you? They were (surprisingly) helpful last couple times I spoke to them.... No idea why your account was locked obvs but I had a bad experience about 3 years ago where they restricted my account as my Sale cancellations due to items not being in stock exceeded their 2-3% tolerance. ...

+1 for Specialized Phat tape. The version that comes with the gel inserts.

Really; Framesets for £175?? I missed that

Yeah, certainly around that price I'm sure.

Think that was frame and fork at one point. Think its gone up to £450 at one point as well. Its one of the reasons I dont bother looking at Planet X anymore

I have an EC44/49 lower cup with a 1.5-1 1/8th reducer and a ZS44/28.6 upper cup EC44/49 are two different sizes. Hopefully you will have an EC44. The hope straight to tapered crown race adaptor (HS136) should drop onto the bottom of the fork steerer. They are very tight though so if you put it in ...

Pics not working for me?

Yeah good point James. I assumed it was a Shimano shifter. Not tried a Microshift shifter

The 10 speed bar end shifter and SLX mech arent compatible due to different pull ratios. Your options are; -Try a 9 speed mtb mech, which has the same pull ratio as a 10 speed road mech. You may need a wolftooth roadlink (for non shadow mechs - Sunrace do a copy) or goat link for shadow mechs -Use o...
