  • He does two, one for carbon frames and the other a universal one- of the two the one for carbon frames looks nicer, I cannot think of any downsides to using it on an alloy seat tube- can you?

    I'm guessing the carbon one is desiged not to have any focused pressure. So it'll be fine.

  • Nuts money! Get the Tune gum-gum and top cap

    The GumGum has a wide fork ID range (I can't remember what it is), but I found that it doesn't hold as well because it rotates easily. I prefer the Ultrastar. From memory both parts are about the same weight when you use a fibre-lyte top cap with the Ultrastar .. about 12g I think?

  • Was originally after a kcnc one but couldn't be bothered to wait for shipping from the east.

    @ Jambon .. use http://clee-cycles.co.uk/esite/home for KCNC stuff always had great next day service from them ..

    I've emailed Piotr Smuda, hopefully he will get back to me at some point- I've ordered once from him, then the second time I gave up and ordered elsewhere.

    He does eventually reply, but I get the impression that he is a busy man.

    Micro companys are like that. I cant help but love them though.

  • MCFK are similar

  • If I'd not had to have the part by a certain time (front mech clamp) then I'd have waited for him, absolutely a fan of supporting the artisan suppliers.

  • one for the fishy looking bikes thread?

    Donkeys aren't really my thing. I've got plenty of pictures of dog dicks that look like lipstick though.

    Cheers boss, now favorited.

  • New position works well:

    50 miles today, front felt slightly more direct, other than that (which was not a bad thing), all good.

  • How did the bar position make the route more linear? Were you wobbling/nodding less?

  • He was well nodding. Had a hump backpack and everyting

  • Why you no Brixton?

  • My spare tyre is being held hostage by an eccentric mastermind, and without it I didn't want to risk heading out of town, so did this:

  • Anyone know of a Cannondale stockist who would be able to sell/quote for a replacement of this bike for insurance purposes?

  • Evans do it for a fiver I think

  • Evans would be able to get the replacement frame, what I was wondering was if there was anywhere that could get the brakes, the SRM and so on as well- one stop shop, basically.

  • You wont find a store in the world that carries all that lot.

  • I tried telling the insurance rep that, no dice.

    They also pointed out (twice) that if I undervalued it for insurance (didn't include wheels, or the power meter) then they'd refuse to payout.

  • Just what British Cycling said when I called them.

  • Talk to oldskoolracer, the people he insured with were happy to do separate parts.

  • Surely a small independent bike shop is your winner-
    Somewhere like Bike Whisperer?

  • Maybe, I actually want this to be as cheap a valuation as possible though, which makes more sense if it comes from a bike shop that could sell me the bike for that price.

    The current estimate (based on the list price of a Super Six Evo Di2 and some of my parts) is above British Cyclings maximum insurable value.

  • The only solution is to not ride your bike and have it locked up somewhere it can never be accessed. obviously.

  • Or, fuck insurance off as a bad idea and get an ISA, which is designed to cover the cost of a new bike if it gets pinched.

    BC did mention it would be £1,200 per year to insure the bike* if* I could get the valuation down to their maximum insurable value.
