I was lucky to tour the Great Divide in 2016. I nearly bailed the first night due to bear-fear. I have had plenty of wildlife encounters in the past. eg Lions outside my tent and Elephants 50 metres away in Africa. This was completely different. I cant explain it. A totally irrational fear. I was lu...

What colour is the Surly clamp please Gary? Any pics? Thanks

Ah bum. Well looks like they have 10 left so might be worth grabbing a pair whilst you see what hubs are around.

Wiggle have WTB i29 rims silly cheap if you have the hubs mate. They actually come up at 580gms each which is ok for an eyleted rim for £23

I believe Halo wheels are rebranded Kinlin rims and Novatec hubs. Hunt are rebranded Kinlin rims and Novatec hubs, but hand built and backed up by excellent customer service, so cost a bit more FWIW I have some Halo hubs and my experience of their customer service and tech support was excellent. Th...

.... I've swapped notes with Rich at Keep Pedalling (if their wheels are as good as their responsiveness, they will be very good indeed) and have actually gone for Halo Vapour 50s for something different and Hope Pro4s as I'm a maintenance-a-phobe and like the clickety noise to alert wildlife and r...

Oops. Typo.

Not sure which Novatec hubs both use. Both SPA and Cycle clinic do Kinlin rims. I am a big fan of WTB rim...

I have always ended up underwhelmed by bike to work savings. Think can find better value buying second hand, with carefull looking. Especially as market seems to be cooling at the moment.

Wtd Road fixed/free singlespeed wheels or hubs please?

700c wheels. 100 front 120mm rear. Rear must be threaded for fixed and freewheel.

Or hubs to make the above. 32 hole.

Thanks!

WTB 27.5 x 3 plus tyres silly cheap on CRC

Alright Tony! Have a look at Wiggle. Fair few on big discount.

Looks good that. Do gravel bikes have to use drop bars? You could ride it as is, or put on some bendy bars like Jones or Ritchey Kyotes for different hand positions, and then ride it for a while to see how you get on with it?

Lovely bike.

Wtd Rigid 29er disc forks. 1 1/8" straight steerer, minimum length 200mm. A-C 470-480. cheers!

Salsa/Singular would be perfect thanks

SOLD: Pair WTB Resolute TCS 700 x 42 Amberwall tyres £44 posted. Used for less than 100 miles last year. No punctures. Still have molding beads. Were set up tubeless and sat in garage over the winter so the Stans went a bit mouldy. Have given them a good clean but still have mould spots on inside. O...

Thanks!

https://rideworks.cc/shop/ebb/ They're not cheap but they really do last. When we switched to these at Shand, the issues around premature bering wear disappeared overnight. I have 3 of these on my bikes right now (2 X Rohloff and 1 SS) and I would pay full price for the Rideworks unit if I need to ...

Yes please, will PM. Thanks Andy

Looks really good Matt. Think devil in detail though, note the need for specific Q factor cranks (chainstay clearance?) and couldnt easily see the cost? Looks like a custom sizing in Zona (4130?). Bice do some really nice stuff but need see more detail to compare to custom from Stooge etc
