All Sorted: 650b Disc Wheelset / 80mm Stem

My girlfriend is going to get an Isen frame based on 650b wheels.

Looking for:

650b Disc Wheelset, relatively narrow rim (to mount 28c tyres) and 12mm thru axle front with QR rear.

electronic hydro groupset

mmmm maybe I should sell the R785 ..

these things: https://www.bike24.com/p2143255.html?q=shimano%20R785

Are they the levers with the larger hoods? One of the main reasons she's going custom on the frame is she's tiny so big levers might not be so suitable...

Saying that did you have a price in mind? I'll do some research in size difference to the new R8070 ones that I have on my Canyon.

I have both; R8070 and R785; the latter are 'larger' but they are tall rather than long.

Saying that did you have a price in mind?

£200?

I am on the fence if I want to keep my 650b Hunt wheels. I'll let you know if I change my mind...

If I do sell I'll have WTB Horizon / WTB Resolute and G-one tyres too

Cheers - I'll show her the visual comparison tonight and let you know. Is that price just levers or levers and callipers?

Ta

Cool, please do let me know as they'd be perfect!

Cheers

levers and calipers, they are internally routed so would have to cut the hoses but will include them too

Now I have to work out all the other random ports, batteries and wires you need for an electronic set if buying in parts rather than complete

1x or 2x?

I mean if you want to avoid the faff you are better off just buying the R8070 groupset .. its circa £1400

2x

I'll have a read up and balance faff v cost savings. As mentioned above, the bike not going to be built until mid next year so bags of time to accumulate.

The dream would be Etap HRD

The dream would be Etap HRD

surely those are the worst hoods ..

you'd need these things. Roughly.

I'd keep the Etap and she could have my R8070

Thanks for the diagram, useful starting point

Add all that to cart plus £200 and you have your groupset price.

I’ve got a brand new boxed hydro mechanical r8020 groupset for sale with rotors too.

OK - this could also be an option. Drop me a pm with price and spec etc.

Cheers

@amey thanks for the offer and info but going to pass on the R785

@motoko no rush but keep me up to date as to your plans for the wheels

no worries, who is building the bike?

It'll probably Waltly as I've been super pleased with the one I got last year and it's been good value. Will get a female specific bike fit and frame design done in the UK though

I can happily recommend Cyclefit for that

Ok will add them to consideration, La Beau Velo seem to be well recommended for female frames and fits

Going to be a couple weeks. I'm building up a Tripster AT and want to ride with the 700c and 650b to compare and see if there is any reason for one the other or both.

Cool absolutely no worries. This bike isn't going to come together until 2019 so no rush at all

Sorry to muck you around but have you still got this and are you still up for selling?

Managed to convince. My girlfriend she'll see the benefits of di2...
