1) I bought a second hand road frame on here (an Indy Fab apple green). I’m buying second hand bits to build it up. On the group set, is there any danger in buying 11 speed? Is it the wheels that might not be compatible rather than the frame? I’ve not got the wheels either yet so that’s not a concern.

2) In my tool box I’ve always had a ready supply of rubber strips that I can use to install bike computer mounts/lights etc if they are too big. I’ve run out. What are these rubber thingies called and where do I buy them please. I want a lifetimes supply (about 8).

Thanks.

1. Correct, the freehub is changing between 10 and 11 speed (shimano/sram, idk about campagnolo), frame should be all set as long as the rear spacing is 130mm.
2. not completely sure if I understand what you mean, are you talking about O-rings or rubber shims? If the former, hardware store, for the latter, I usually use cut up inner tubes.

Just search eBay or Amazon for bike light rubber shim.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
