Functional bikes. Not Porn not Anti

Yeah, leftovers from gale-forced tents are such a bike parts bin staple, unlike recessed nuts.
Oh, and cork is very fragile, that's why it's used to preserve wine for decades of storage.

I win again

Oh no you do not.

Ooo, nice idea

Man maths strikes again.

SRAM Level hydraulic brakes on their way from bike-discount.de :)

I could send you a couple of sections for postage costs.

I see you like to live dangerously.

I have never had an issue with them.

Which model? The latest SRAM hydro stuff is really nice.

But you can get a pair with rotors for £100 on CRC...

My Google foo is clearly weak. Also I don't need rotors.

Noice. They have a really nice, modular feel.

If it were my man-maths I'd have sprung (did spring) for the TL version for £120 anyway. The same maths saw me upgrade from TLs to Ultimates...

You have no idea how close I was.

Dunno how they know me but I got an invite anyway! Anyone else going? Expecting to see some lovely bikes (not mine) so I'll take lots of photos.

So cool to see those live, post pics here if you can!

Don't suppose you know if the 'Level T' is matchmaker or matchmaker X? Having trouble working it out.

Lucky you. Take plenty of pics.

Looks like the OG Matchmaker. Need to go up to TL for MMX

Ah that's a good thing though, as I want 10sp & cheap. Couldn't work out if maybe they were cross compatible as they're listed on the same and septate bits of Sram's site. Much confuse

No idea how cross compatibility works, I'm running 10sp X0 and using MMX clamps. My Ultimates just came with normal clamp bands though, I had to supply the matchmaker ones

Lady on a lovely black Claud Butler MTB conversion on the Clerkenwell/Goswell junction this morning. Early nineties steel, T-bone stem, 1X conversion, Schwalbe skinwall's and lots of functional goodies makes me think it must be on here. Would love to see some pics if anyone knows what bike i'm talking about.

Functional porn ?

Are you asking us if you should buy it?

I think you know the answer.

I look forward to the pictures.

winter here, no more gear
