Isen workshop: adventures in batch production (or not...)

Number two, rhymes with poo!

Hoping mine is James 007

Feed your wank bank

Would be better if it was @JB 007

@jb already has a Talbot.

Indeed he has, I imagine my Isen build will be very similar to it

Schwalbe g one 30mm is an awesome tyre

Didn't realise G-One are available in 30c. Good option. Only seem to be in stock in Germany.

Damn. Seems the 30 are sold. No more deposits accepted on the link.

Bugger.

Snooze, lose

There will be a second batch later this year.

Number 25, seeing as you asked.

There will be another batch available once we have started this one, fear not!

@Dammit

Can you advise on how to route di2 cables past a bb30 rotor 3D+ power2max installed in a British bb?

These look rad.
I think I might have to get 'his and hers' for the Pattersons on the next wave.

Can't wait to build my non numbered, no bullshit Isen up nice and simply.

Just struggling with two things

1. Bottle cages
   
2. Can I make the blue pill lifestyle choice that is Sora?
   

I think you can do even better

One of my fave current amey quotes is "Sora is not a groupset it is a way of life."

NO SORA

Quote from @coldharbour

looks like I should go with @PhilDAS suggests then

Will you get bosses for Paul brakes and S&S couplers too

Can you advise on how to route di2 cables past a bb30 rotor 3D+ power2max installed in a British bb?

TBF Sam from LMNH did it, he said it was tight but it just fit. My understanding is that he chucked a load of grease in there. It's been fine for thousands of Km.

So is grease inside the BB shell holding the wires in place?

A lot of how difficult it will be is to do with the vent holes. There will be very big ones on these.

Will that make it easier?

Yes as if the wires are in the vent holes, they aren't in the Bb shell. The only pinch point will be the rear mech cable, and if done carefully that will be fine as well.

@coldharbour how easy is it to fit Sora, I heard it was better than di2

Just sayin'...
