Disc brakes are dead

Ahhhhh! Hydro. Gotcha.

You saw what happened to my Middleburn cranks didn't you?

Sadly the quality appears to have dropped off some what and BETD wouldn't replace the broken ones...as the middleburn co is now wound up.

Le sigh

I have 1/16th the amount of watts compared to you! But yeah ..

I have 1/16th the amount of weight compared to you....

Any colour then get a bob hoops repaint

I CBA filtering though 100 pages of coded chat, but @amey ’s description on page one is pretty much what I want to build. Did it happen? Is it now a Trek 520? What are the take-aways?

You know those has-been celebrities who have a tonne of plastic surgery to make themselves look hot again but they end up just looking a bit wonky and wrong? That.

Did it happen?

Yes! Everything went perfect and the bike is now for sale. Inform with Amey about the details.

Read it. It's totally worth it. Then order some stickers when you're done

Amey is influencer confirmed

It happened, it's good, rides fine, bit heavy but that's okay.

Two regrets; getting a braze on (can't go sub compact 46/30) and not getting midfork eyelets .. I'll take it back to Winston at some point for this.

Also made this thread into my current projects, the 520 is the beater.

Overall update: gold bike is getting rival 1 hydro, canyon will be with me end of march-ish (got R8070 and hunt wheels for that), decided to keep the moots for now; we'll see, destroyed bearings on China O.P.E.N. so need to take it to a shop to replace those (SKF).

Can I dibs the Moots if you end up wanting to get rid of it?

Selling the force levers?

Re super compact chainset; isn't there a problem anyway with derailleur hitting the chain stays? I'm on 48/32 on the Stayer and it's well close, not sure I could go much lower.

Nice. Where can I oogle it?

yes and spyres (flat mount) with TRP compressionless cable kit

when I buy a dining table from you #soon

🤙🏻

48/32 might work but I'd have preferred 46/30, the derailleur is at the very bottom of braze on tab and yet maybe a millimetre out than what shimano recommends.

I'll sell it at a 'loss' on here but wont split (taps nose) and it wont be cheap, its got etap

Ah that's too bad then, figured you'd keep the etap

rim brakes are dead

How many £?

Etap would be nice on DBAD tho :)
