should be a good learning project - first up: cold setting

Damn, you so efficient Germans. Deore hydro arrived from Rose bikes today, before the adaptor for said brake can arrive from wiggle.

What is this, please?

OK as a front, on the back mine was looking pretty much done after 500 miles.

That bad? I was considering them for summer tyres. Are Master even worse?

be very interested to know how you get on with this.

Nurseholiday uses one of these, when he bothers to actually ride his bike...

That bad?

Yes, Records are strictly race-day only unless you're made of money. The performance mostly comes from the paper-thin tread band.

how does he attach it?

was looking at the boombotix bb2 as it works with bluetooth so could run it off my phone.

it also has a purpose built handlebar mount available which is good.

bit pricey though.

^^ Ah yeah I double checked and it wasn't the Records I was thinking of. Same story for all Veloflex?

None of Veloflex's tyres is a Schwalbe Marathon. They make racing tyres.

But Schwalbe's decent tubulars were Tufos a few years ago.

I was using a 22mm rear, 20mm front combo for bloody ages (old Pave, and master). The tread wore quickly on the rear, as you'd expect. But I was happy with the longevity. The tread and protection band do a good a job as any other road tyre, at trying to prevent punctures. But The sidewalls are pretty thin.

I run them on my fixed. Which see a lot more bad weather, than my road bike. But they've never let me down. I'm kinda obsessed with getting a certain road feel out of the fixed, and velflex supply this in aces.

^ Will you please stop posting in this thread furry!

I keep expecting to see your fatbike frame has arrived :-(

Its imminant.

Keep stumbling across bits in the parts bin. Turns out I have a bag of blue anno braze-on bolts for it. I'd forgotten about that.

New water bottles...

Certainly nothing from Wiggle. They use Citylink. Might as well have binned it.

^^ How long did they take to arrive?

about three days from IlSoigneur: http://ilsoigneur.myshopify.com/products/we-are-butter-water-bottles

*but then I missed the delivery and had to leave them in the post office for a week due to shitty opening hours

Thanks tester and Smallfurry for your somewhat contradicting but helpful replies!

This arrived today, badly packed but as far as I can tell is all ok.

New build almost there... Just waiting on new shoes, Sram Red brakes and Look carbon bars

A case of lucozade revive by mistake, phoned lucozade up and they told me to keep it!

Win

I have one of those

So far he has
Disconnected all power to all PC's, monitors and printers.
Sat with the lights off.
Now he has gone to the building next door (ours too) to find out if it is the HD equipment whining when switching hertz (or some sort of other madness I don't really know what goes on in his head) because he thinks it is coming through the fresh air vent.
He even went and had the aircon engineers called out.

Must get it out again.
