Flyweight wind jacket surely?

Got a set of these after...

Got these after deciding £140 was fair enough for eye protection of assured quality 🙂

'Raudax' branding is hilarious

I love the images that accompany it. Make skin not aging. Cyclist with cool new hover pedals. etc...

Is there such a thing as a flat mount fork with tapered head tube but with QR? All the QR forks I can find are post mount. Cheers :)

What length and tyre clearance do you need? I have something similar spare

Sorry not sure on length, it’s for a 54cm caad12, 28mm tyres

Ah right, no problem. I've got a Genesis fork with those features but it would be a bit longer than the Cannondale one unfortunately

probably easier to switch out the caliper or hub/use hub adapters...

Aren't they 1.25" lower bearing? Good luck finding anything in that size.

I have something which is just like those it is the fork that came on my Talbot Frameworks I could part with.

AC is around 385
Tapered 1 1/8 to 1.5"
QR drop outs

The bike, rider and hover pedals are from GTA V.

For posterity - a while ago I asked about alu MTB rims - well I ordered these SUN Durocs and they arrived all fine. Haven't built them yet.

Worked out at £38 for each rim and I couldn't find anything better in the UK at a reasonable price.

Trying to order something - literally anything - on AliExpress, and no matter what item I click on, I'm redirected to the same listing for a leopard print bikini. I mean, it's lovely, but not what I want

AIUI the only solution to this is to buy the leopard print bikini.

good finishing kit for ma gravel?

Apologies if this is has been covered before but is there a forum recommended place to get some track wheels? Lightcycle only seems to do mountain bike or road bike wheels.

TIA

If you like their rims, it's got to be worth asking if they'll get some Novatec track hubs for you.

Also you can send them hubs.
It's a bit strange as they were probably made over there but I did that for a wheelset last year. I could get the hub I wanted here but they couldn't so I sent them it. Didn't cost much more than using the similar one they could get.

Anyone with a recent buy of a gravel crabon finishing kit?

Can you guinea pig these and let me know if you die in fire
