• Some sweet ebay bargains I have already picked up over the past weeks. All new besides the derraileurs.

    1. Tektro CR720 Canti brakes
    2. Brooks C15 Carved
    3. Shimano Deore XT RD-M739 + FD-M735
    4. Velo Orange quill stem with 31.8mm clamp
    5. SP PV-8 hub dynamo
    6. Hope RS4 rear hub

    As you can guess I am planning to get some wheels build. The choice of tubeless 650b rim brake rims is very limited. So I think I'll just go with some Pacenti Brevet rims. I already dropped Martin(?) from Arkane an email about this.

  • Wondered if you were going for the Brevet! (I didn’t know they were still available). This build presses all the right buttons : )

    The lack of rim choice stopped me from 650b-ing a 26er last year. The only other options I had seen were some nice polished rims from a German velo boutique and that eBay wheel seller who flogs rim/disc compatible wheelsets for under £100 - those cheap rims must be coming from somewhere eh?

    Usual crap where I decided ‘it wasn’t worth it’ then spent north of 250 on a fork and some Motolites (but with 700c wheels).
