Wet weather SSCX commuter

Yup... They're coming off the other bike this weekend.

Ffs... Pretty much everything is built but I got a note from condor today and the trp hylex brakes aren't available until July!!

Guess the bike is on hold for a month

This is what the distributor told me the other day too. I'm after the Spyre. Annoying.

My cx75's are still in their boxes on the windowsill

Yup; definitely annoying. Apart from the seatpost & a chain, the entire things is build and ready... just waiting on TRP & Upgrade Bikes.

Frankly, if you will spec a product that hasn't come to market yet, then you have to expect a delay.

Ha :)
Fair point I guess... it's still annoying though.

It is. And I share your frustration, as I'm still waiting for someone to release integrated STI/Ergo hydraulic road disc levers. It's only 4 years since I bought the frame to run these on.

In which time the headtube standard on your frame has become obsolete by the complete lack of any decent and readily available full carbon 1.1/8th disc forks?

Woundups don't count.

I have a pair of woundups. But apparently they don't count.

I like woundups. I have a pair that (finally) I'll use this season. But the price, import duty and near boat anchor weight kills my love for them a bit.

I was thinking of getting a pair of wound up cx forks for the all city

There's a (disc) pair for sale on here in sexh black.

So, an update on the project.... the whole thing is built except for brakes & bar tape.

The problem I have it that I just spoke to TRP and the Hylex (full hydraulic) brakes have been pushed back (again) until the end of July.

They have the HY/RD brakes available today (Hydraulic but compatible w/ cable levers).... should I order these or should I wait?

I'd wait. Get some cheapie leavers and some CX75s in the meantime?

^ what howard said + pics!

CX75s?

It's disc brake only...

Thought I'd gone bonkers then for a second. Nope - CX75s are shimano's cheapie and light cable pull discs.

Ah... hmmm, by the time I've bought a set of those, it's going to be £100.

I might as well buy the HY/RD and not the Hylex or wait for the Hylex.

Either way, i'll try to get some pics up over the weekend.

Whats the cost diff between Hylex and HY/RD ?

About £30 cheaper for HY/RD

WAIT for Hylex and if you are keen to ride source cheap used BB5/CX75 on ebay or something.

About £30 cheaper for HY/RD

Including the price of cables and a leaver?

Fuck you and your sense making comments... balls.

Sorry :(
