A replacement fork from Pinnacle?

The og fork fits that spec (assuming your Arkose is the latest model).

Also ask ‘em if they have any spare mech hangers pls :)

A as n’y one bought any bike packing stuff? Specifically barbags and saddle bags? The selection is limited but looks good...

I considered that but can't seem to find them available and not on the Evans website as far as I can tell.

The impression I get from Evans is they’re on a bit on the slide at the moment. The website is a bit abandoned and stock is often not listed - the shop floor gets priority. I expect there is a part number for your fork.

This isn’t intended as a dis but ... expect several misinformed and/or inexperienced staff before finding one who was helpful and knowledgeable. It’s classic big-shop stuff really. Try and talk to some humans, on the phone or in person.

@Pmccee was selling an Arkose fork, PM him

Have been running one for close to a year now, no complaints yet.

If you don’t mind me asking, how’d you get hold of yours? Just emailed them through the site?

I bought my bike from Carbonda and you can just email them - can get it painted by them too.

Yeah, just sent them an email. Communication was easy & quick, think inquiry-ordering was 2 days, mainly due to me not checking my inbox.

I’d also be in

Anyone spotted a reasonably priced alternative to Paul thumbie DT lever adapters?

So, ordered some wheels that were sent on 19th December and arrived in the UK on 25th. Since then absolutely nothing. Think I'll give it another 3 weeks and then ask for a refund as item not received

Presumably they're fully tracked so you can see at which point they've got stuck?

It is all tracked, arrived on 25th and has sat there pre-customs for 6 weeks (anyone would think there are other bigger things in play).

The kicker will doubtless be getting rinsed with charges

If you've not already tried I can recommend calling and hassling the delivery company until they update you / get things moving. It's a pain but persistent badgering of them does normally yield results in my experience.

Yes, need to get on it - first step will be finding out who the courier is 😀

I have a couple of (low value, unimportant) Ali Express things stuck just after they arrived in the UK in December.

I've heard there was a massive backlog before Christmas and things work on a first-in last-out basis, so they may turn up months from now.

Ha! My friend was telling me about the pipedream carbon fork he fancies for his alice frame.
I told him I'd try find who makes it to buy direct and here it is.

Mind me asking how much it is?
The pipedream one is £170 on their website

Not quite as cheap as you might like but SJS have something: https://www.sjscycles.co.uk/gear-spares/jtek-special-thumb-shifter-brackets-for-222-mm-bars-black/

Oh.

Have looked and on 20th February can register as not delivered. Think I might need to keep that in mind.

Ah no that's great, thanks

Could anyone share their experiences of this type of computer mount?

It all depends on the angle of your stem which for an untukt positions such a mine, it looks a little silly. Prefer my wahoo to be nice and flat with the road.

I've been emailing with them about the fork, and they quoted me $85 for the fork with $60 shipping. £105 at today's rates.
