Smiley, wac

Feels pretty vulnerable in terms of fire risk atm

Same in Hankley common (before the fire)

Have we had Rondo bikes yet? Polish brand it seems, with "Twin Tip" (just the tip) technology aka, when you strip the thru axle in the fork you might have another hole left to use...

Was just looking around for other options in the world of metal gravel bikes.

when you strip the thru axle in the fork you might have another hole left to use...

Same hole from both angles...

You flip the fork chip to change the geo
Does mean that it's replaceable though so not a scrap fork if you do fudge it up but not much use out on the trail

You may accidentally lose the thru axle bolt if you’re not careful if it’s like the Cervelo or Enve forks.

Ah, I see, it's like my replaceable sockets on the Mason, but longer so it offets the bolt in its other position. I wonder what percentage of riders will (it's 0) use this.

Camo frame bag must mean this fits in here, yes?

the rear wheel will take a 38c tyre too..

You can ride literally any bike on gravel

Bar tape: any preference or recommendation? Mine needs renewing and it would be nice to get something comfortable with a bit of give in it, preferably in black

I’m I doing this right?
We have clearance Clarence.

Supacaz.

3 years in, still loving this bike.

Thinking of cargo fork / dynamo hub / mini rack update but I'll do so if I feel so after I reach 20k km on this one.

Nice. What bike is that?

I bought some Bontrager tape which lasted well. It's gel backed rather than adhesive backed, so can be repositioned. It's bit like Cinelli cork ribbon.

Just because I was curious, I've bought some Fizik Tempo Bondcush Microtex 3mm (terrible name) to replace it. I've not installed it yet, so who knows if that was a good idea or not.

Cinelli Voilee also nice. Prime stuff from wiggle is ok too when on offer.

I like the bondcush (definitely stupid name); I have it on a couple of bikes at the moment and a couple of boxes for when that wears out

Looks like a dirtier but less scarred version of my partner's bike.

Hers now has a mongrel mix of DA and Ultegra Di2.

Stelbel Nina.

Thanks for all the bar tape recommendations, just need to choose one now (well actually three as my gravel, road bike and singlespeed have all decided to come unravelled / wear out at the same time)
