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

That's what they say....

See if you can pick up at 6870 GS RD on the cheap? I managed to get hold of one from @amey and am using this in the mean time while I wait for Vanilla bikes to get the R8050 ones.

@coldharbour
Looking to get a silca frame pump for my 55cm framset. What size of pump would be the best fit?

NOW we are getting somewhere .. this thread needs artisanal shit

Shut it you.

#atmo #holocaustbrakes

head tube to seat tube, edge to edge is 500mm. That a useful number?

Yep. Puts me right between M and L. Will email silca and see what they recommend.

I'd want a large, the harder the spring pushing back the better I'd have thought. Especially with a pump that costs the same as a small terraced house in Liverpool....

Hi-fives @amey

I know they are spendy, but having had a tacctico for a while, it is really the best pump I've ever used.

Going to the States for Thanksgiving, so might pick one up where they are substantially cheaper than here.

substantially cheaper than here.

You sure?
$165 vs £162 from a quick look

Well about 20% there and then backcountry.com is always sending vouchers.

Still pricey, just not as much.

Wait. A £162 pump?

Shit

No kiddin, they make one with bluetooth now too...

It pumps the tyres for you I take it?

I now feel slightly less horrified by the bill TF tuned are going to send me

and mines the data, I am very close to getting the Silca frame pump .. my only gripe is I hate pumps that attach directly to the valve

I approve of this comment

Thought it'd be a nice treat to go with the ISEN.

I'm blaming @MechaMorgan for his new Impero for putting the idea in my head

I don't know what think anymore

hold me

He didnt pay full price

my only gripe is I hate pumps that attach directly to the valve

They're great pumps, and the 'ask no questions' warranty makes great mental gymnastics maths possible ;) however they won't warranty it if you lose it so:

1.Big size is better for you as will be jammed in the frame
2.Matt can't have one as he loses everything

yeah but thats just another thing to carry .. might as well just stick to Lezyne in pocket and lose some gram likes.

If it's on your person it adds 0 grams. Pro tip
