New tyres arrived yet?

No superlight chain? Am disappoint

New tyres arrived yet?

Schrodingers tyres - LMNH aren't saying and Sam is on holiday.

No response to email, I might have to go and visit them to find out what's happening.

The horror.

Their breakfast has been pretty bad on occasion.

Do you have the fancy new wheels to put these non-existent tyres on yet?

Mario just emailed, wheels are ready.

enjoy those rims!

Unfortunately I can’t yet- the Freeza rotors won’t work with sram brakes. Pad retention tab hits the cooling fin.

Which Shimano brakes are good? I am aware that I am making a ghastly hybrid.

Which Shimano brakes are good?

None, get Hope ;-)

Do they defo work with finned rotors?

Ask Matt. He's got loads of the things on Isens now

I called Hope, they say that their calipers are fine with Freeza rotors.

you are buying a whole new brakeset just to fit the rotors?
why not just buy two new rotors?

Those fins come in handy when you're dragging your brakes round 8km of Swinley's steepest and deepest.

why not just buy two new rotors?

Because upgradez

why would you not buy two new rotors and use the money saved for 5 fun biking trips instead

Pffft. Peasants!

The rotors are already bought, and scored by the current calipers - no returns now.

So I either simply write off £100 in rotors, and buy new ones, or change the brakes - which is of course more expensive, but there you go.

Mario reckons M9120

Which he has now ordered.

Best send everything else back and get XTR 12speed to go with them

And by send back, I mean send to me.
