In The Beginning: Genesis Owners

Fanx

Few upgrades to mine that was initially posted on the first page. 105 11sp, and new dynamo wheels thanks to @BirdBrain. Enforced time off hopefully means it’ll get ridden a bit more. And hopefully time to sort out the rear light mount, bit of a bodge with zip ties and wine corks at present. Anyone had success with the Brompton light mount on a full size bike?

@jaeyukdapbap has done a neat job on his Brother

Yep - used on both a genesis flyer and brother allday. You’ll need some spacers to stop it hitting the seat stays. Other than that easy peasy and cheap!

Don’t want to spam my new day one in every thread but it does if here.

That's awesome...

Thanks, it’s a very smooth ride.

What are these guards? SKS Bluemels Primus? What width?

While @R.hobbs is correct. I wouldn’t buy from his constant SJS spam. A lot cheaper elsewhere. I think I paid just over £30.

I can find them for £25 ;)

I know that he works at SJS, but I also now SJS to be the place for a lot of othervise difficult to source components. They are definitely a shop worth supporting.

Oh, I agree. I shop there quite a bit. I ordered a supernova rear light last week. Just the constant spam is a bit much.

I know you pay £5 for postage but that’s also the case with SJS. I did order tyres at the same time (also cheaper than SJS :) )

sorry! I just know what stuff we have, mostly, and therefore easy to find, I fully except you to then search google for stuff! If you buy via sjs, thanks!

Our postage, unlike others, is paid. We have done tests only charging £1 postage but it would be unfeasible to actually run a business like that without being CRC/wiggle which is something we do not fancy! Our UK postage tops out at £5 for standard post unless you order a tonne of stuff / a bike.

You could just say the product name, not a link to the shop you work at.

amended, hope that keeps you content :)

You could just ignore his links and spend your time doing something other than moaning about someone helping other forumengers out.

I do and have every time I have seen it in the past. Spamming when someone asks me a question tips the balance in book. YMMV.

I understand constant links to SJS may be annoying but remember you’re supporting a genuine U.K. bike shop not a load of investment cunts (wiggle, CRC, bike24 etc etc) who are often selling stuff at trade or less to fuck independent bike shops out of business.

And I do shop with them. The two aren’t mutually exclusive. My last order was the on 14/3. Not the cheapest but I knew they would have stock.

I don't get their description about the 3 mounting points required, does that mean that you can mount them without the seatstay mount and they will remain stiff and in place? Thinking specifically about Vagabond/Longitude that have all the mudguard mounts except the seatstay bridge.

I wouldn’t recommend that. Mine rattles with a brake bridge but I have trimmed it that will make it substantially less stiff.

This. They're a great independent shop. Probably have one of the largest Brompton inventory too!
