OH HAI @amey

I’ve got an Enve fork sat on a shelf but thanks.

I’m away for a couple weeks but then I’ll come for the di2 bits

There’s a good, honest 250mm on there.... so even with a 160mm head tube....do the math

Just shout mate - no rush - they’re sat keeping the rest of the ridiculous parts box company

do the math

I did .. too short.

You’re doing it wrong.

I've gone BB5 > SPYRE > Juintec > hydro, each one is better than the last, they all work well enough. The GRX to 4 pot deore I've had for the last week or so are silly powerful, but they're powerful with very little effort, the Juintec would stop offroad, loaded a bit, down steep hills on most stuff but you had to grab them hard, hydros would be doing the same but with little effort and the ability to brake harder or softer more precisely and without getting aching hands after longer decents.

BB5

no cantis?

Also, if anyone wants some 2x10 Apex levers attached to Juintec R1 postmount brakes with rotors (one quite new), a spare set of pads, with a rival front mech and GX rear and nice suntour 11-40 cassette for a budget gravel set up let me know. Levers are tatty, rest is good condition.

Never.

like blackface of braking world, if you have done it, it will get exposed and you will be punished for it

I didn't equate the two but I'm not going to argue.

i will CANCEL you

Hydro are a pita to maintain

What maintenance?

That's the beauty of them. Stick in new pads and they keep going (at least until someone sticks a screwdriver through the pistons trying to spread the calipers, which I'm guessing is the cause of most issues)

high incidence of people in my club having leaking 105/ultegra hydro callipers

Do members of your club all use the same shop and does that shop keep sticking flat head screwdrivers through the piston seals?

had this been a mechanical brake this entire saga would have not happened

Had you not used broken parts the same thing could be said.

Buy cheap, buy twice.

@hippy time to sell all your bikes and start again: https://www.instagram.com/campagnolo_gravel/

If you haven't used cantis it just means you're a cycling noob.

Time to fire up the Instagram botnet again. I wonder if Shimano will lend me some servers?

Hy/Rd are cable actuated hydraulic same as Juin Tech R1.

That is true, that’s where the similarities stop, the Juintech does not auto adjust for pads wear meaning you can adjust the levers pull.

Had decided on the Decathlon 105 Triban disc but now I read the wheels are worse then the original Pacentis to get a tyre on?

They're so easy to maintain that when the slightest thing goes wrong with them two separate bike shops can fail to correctly diagnose and fix the issue?

no cantis?

V-brakes trump all. Just ask @platypus.

I've had the same brakes on I think three bikes now since TCR4. So, yeah, they are easy to maintain, in the sense I've not done any maintenance to them (other than brake pads and maybe there was a bleed in there for one swap).

If you could diagnose the issue and they couldn't, what does it tell you about how much effort they put into fixing your bike?

yeah, fairly tough, @plasticniki sold me a set, probably had more experience? I only fitted one pair of conti tyres
