The "do everything" tank - Surly LHT

Received these Mavic A719s on Deore XT from Pete today. Apologies for the shite photo. Excellently packed (individually!)

new front (no tyre, tube or skewer) weighs 0.998kg vs 1.056kg
new rear (no tyre, tube, cassette or skewer) weighs 1.210kg vs 1.250kg

98g in your face scobble.

Ha, I did get a bit carried away with that packing :-)

I think the highlight was the bubblewrap being ziptied on!

Subtle difference, but I love 'em already. roll straight, true, smooth etc

How much stuff do you take to work?

Only the "essentials" it seems...

.

Easier to chuck stuff in than a panniers that's for sure.

Fair enough...
Looks great anyway ;)

Aren't you afraid someone will steal your bigxtop? I'm not familiar with London but in Amsterdam that bag probably wouldn't be safe.

I'm locked up in a basement garage that has a 2-step security access and CCTV.

I think it's safe.

Great :D.

Stuck a set of those pedals on my Cross Check the other week, knees really appreciated them for a long days riding. Need to pick up a couple more pairs for the other bikes now!

Good to hear, I'm looking forward to trying them out!

What pedals are they? Used with spds?

Ok, I was hoping it would save my knees too.

Lovely build, just looks purposeful.

Shimano have a couple of equivalents, can't remember the model but one has black plastic support, other is metal and looks a bit slicker but ££

pd m424

SPAM ALERT!

@ samsbike - I have a lightly used pair of these PD - M545s for sale, if you're interested?

Sorry Apollo :-)

no worries :)

Nice but pricey, let me know if they're worth the switch

they're brand new, but were being auctioned with cleats, paid £33, so not full RRP

so far so good. felt really stable on the ride in, but will report back after my long ride on sunday

Orko swears by them too
