Or change the language with the little menu in the top bar.

I'm 168cm and less then 79kg I think big Ted is going to be more useful on this

Guys, get lightbicycle or quality alu rims.

I’ve been wondering how much quality matters with disc rims.

They’d have to be seriously poorly made to fail.

I’m yet to see any shoddy looking Chinese bars, stems, seatposts or saddles break. The weave on my saddle is horribly wavy but I know when it breaks, it’ll be at the bond between the rails and hull.

I'm with you . Maybe for rim brake going for lightbicycle is a better idea if you want to be able do slow down but for disc brake this rims are definitely good enough.

They’d have to be seriously poorly made to fail.

The problem with shit alu rims is you have to build a shit wheel in order for it to be round and true.

I don’t know how often carbon rims suffer the same problem.

Cheers, I figured out the language thing at 2am after much boredom and Google translate. I did see another wheelset that was 35deep/30wide that peaked my interest. Too many options. I should just stick to these and ride.

peaked my interest

After that, everything else was less interesting? Or did you mean piqued?

Has anyone ridden the newest WR65 from LB?

Clearly my command of my native tongue is as bad as my Polish wife says it is :D

I thought I would post these here before listing them in the classifieds. I ordered them before Christmas but I no longer have any need for them unfortunately. They are the R25 (25mm) calliper brake clincher version. The front has the etched brake track. F20h/R24h. I had intended on building them for a road fixed bike with Mack hubs. I would like roughly what I paid for them so £250 posted within the UK

I'd maybe take the 24h if someone else wanted the 20h

Okay cool. I’m not against splitting them up, but I would prefer to try and sell them together first.

Yep, totally understand. I'll standby.

Does anyone know of any open-moulds for more endurance focus frames?
I thinking like a Canyon Endurace, Cannondale Synapse, Trek Defy type shape.

there arent any, all road frames are long and low, only gravel frames have that kind of geo

What are the best integrated stem/handlebar options for standard cabling?

Does anyone know the faceplate bolt spacing on a Kalloy Uno? Trying to find a -17 stem which has 32mm spacing on the faceplate - orient or otherwise.

I can measure it for you, center to center?

That would be great. Looking to use an out front mount with a new position.

So c-t-c measurement is about 24mm. FWIW, I use a JRC front mount that fits on it

Many thanks for the info!

Sad I missed those LB rims!

Anyone fancy putting in a group order to Light Bicycle? If we order 3 pairs of rims it would come to £247 / pair (possible customs charges on top). DM me if you're keen.

Update on the above ^

I'm definitely putting a Light Bicycle order in at the end of this month so if anyone else wants rims then do please holler at me. Rims are £104+ and shipping will be about £17/rim. Customs is a lottery / Russian roulette.

Has anyone found a 11-32 or 11-34 12 speed cassette which isn't mad colours?
