Re: WTD, levers for BB7.

You after the Speed Dials specifically? Or just MTB flat bar levers?

Got some Deores up for sale that I just pulled off my BB7 setup.

Re: Free: SKS Bluemels 29er/65mm (pay postage or collect)

I doubt anyone else will be up for collecting either so no worries, they are yours if you want them.

Might take me a few days to get a good box and packing materials together, then I'll post. Not sure how much cost will be but as I say, shouldn't be more than a tenner tops.

SOLD Free: SKS Bluemels 29er/65mm (pay postage or collect)

I have a set of SKS Bluemels full length guards that came on a bike. I won't use them and they're just taking up space. I think they are 65mm - in any case they wrapped my 29er wheels with 2.4" tyres with room to spare. Free to a good home, they're a PITA to post and pack so collection preferre...

SOLD Shimano Deore brake levers V-brake/mech disc BL-T610 black

Also up for sale elsewhere but will do them cheaper here - Deore brake levers in black, a tiny bit of cosmetic wear and some old grease in the cable carriers which I'll clean out. Apparently they incorporate Servo-Wave if anyone's interested in that, although no adjustment or anything. £15 the pair ...

WTD light gas stove, Pocket Rocket or similar

Just after a cheap light gas burner. Pocket Rocket, Vango Atom, that kind of thing, needn't be anything special. Thought it might be the kind of thing someone has lying around.

Re: BB7 setup with Speed Dial levers

Spent a fun afternoon on this. 42 tooth cassette on the back makes it hard to access the inner adjuster knob, so that had to come off. Then spent ages trying to centre the rear caliper with no success, eventually realising I'd forgotten to unclamp the cable. I found the Avid/Sram instructions not to...

Re: BB7 setup with Speed Dial levers

Nice one all cheers. You've confirmed my misgivings about cheap hydros and I do like the bb7s so shall probably keep them. Thanks for the tips! I'm also fussy about lever feel, think I'm just craving that instant hydro response, but tbh bb7s are classy AF and I'll enjoy mucking about with them for t...

BB7 setup with Speed Dial levers

Planning to spend Saturday fitting up Speed Dial 7s on my Longitude, running BB7 brakes. They're OK for power as is but I hear they can be set up just-so with Speed Dials for excellent power and modulation. I've got new sintered pads and am running compressionless housing. Found a couple of websites...

Re: wtd, cheap front disc brake, not cable.

Shimano MT400 units can be had on ebay and other places for not much more than £20. Probably not going to do better than that for price/performance.

Re: Genesis Longitude - Medium, 400 collected from cambs

Bargain! Assuming this is a 2015 model I recently paid 700 for the same (in green), albeit with a few extras+upgrades thrown in. They seem to hold their value on the second hand market. Thought I'd done well at that price and would be biting your arm off if I was still looking. Top bikes these, some...
