Any question answered...

Thanks! 58cm frame so should be okay.

although this is cheap https://www.planetx.co.uk/i/q/BCSRFOXYZ/­sram-force-brake-caliper#BCSRFOXYZ-FR but i've always found that generation of force dreadful

This is what I'm replacing, and was tempted by them again at that price. Also I assumed dual pivot (Force) is stronger than single pivot (Red) but I don't have real world experience.

I do, and for me Aerolink were infinitely better.

Very useful, thanks!

Those aren't much more than the price of two of those force calipers

If you want to save a bit of money Ultegra are as good as aerolink but I'm a tart and need to match my etap.

Cheers

Yes, for 1x setups.

Narrow wide jockey wheels, any actual benefits?

Yes, to the seller if they persuade you to pay more for them.

4 arm 96 BCD Bash ring / chain guards - Can anyone find any other than the ones below please?
All I can find is these expensive wolftooth ones (max 34t) and these ones on eBay with bizzare translated titles
(They dont actually exist, the seller has multiple accounts and then just takes your money and lies about being out of stock / issuing you refund ...you can guess how I found this out)

Seems to be a product that doesnt exist anywhere else as far as I can see.

$.75 usd each

Then make it! There are no critical tolerances, a weekend with a drill, a hacksaw and some files will get you up and running. 200mm square of 6mm 6082T6 aluminium is about £12 off of ebay and will cover up to 46T

Or be lazy and send bikepunx an email, they can probably cut one out of 3mm stainless for less than Wolftooth/Blackspire money

$.75

75 cents? No harm trying them at that price 🙂

or be lazy

Now that I can put some effort into!

send bikepunx an email

Thanks I'll try them

Yeah, OEM pricing can be a real life saver some times.

I have a cnc machine that can do alum. Send me a message if you don’t need it within a week, as I’m away.

Buy a chainring in a bigger size and cut the teeth off?

Can you get them in the Superstar sale?

I've used shoe goo to repair a lot, works well.
For the heal but I'd be tempted to just put some gorilla tape on though.

Can anyone help me find this (exact) badge to buy online anywhere? It was lost, like I knew it would be - which is why I have the picture. Nearest I can get is in different colours.

I found one for 'Librarian' but not for 'Reading'. But they say they do custom ones.

Nice one. Messaged them.

I think I might have an old one hidden at the workshop, might be big ugly white plastic though, I can have a look on Monday if you want it and remind me.

gorilla tape

I wondered about something like that plus a hairdryer to make it neat.

I've been looking at 1000d fabric, but come up against the issue of how to fix it to the boot, as it sounds like it can't easily be glued (and I'm not going to spend >£100 to try out Bondit B-4x).

Can recommend Bikepunx. Super helpful and friendly when I asked them to make a 94bcd (I think) chainring

This has probably been answered here already but is there a secure thru-axle that doesn't cost £50 like Hexlox/Pitlock etc? Or is it just a second lock.

Probably my very clumsy syntax but my google fu is lacking on this one.

If I make a complaint to an ombudsman, in whatever sector, do they have the power to listen to any phone calls made?

It would help me if they could, Im not calling them out lol. Just not sure of their, er, jurisdiction?
