The Rat Trail Bikes

I think I’ll wait until the warranty period is over.

Was struggling to work out wtf this chain tensioner was.

BB5 re-ano is good shout.

If Avid spend more times and money developing their BB7 into 2021, this is exactly it.

Felt pretty solid, and being able to tune it ever so slightly is a massive boost with the pads actually sitting 100% flat in the callipers.

Unbelievably excited for the full reveal of this

its a ronny wagon

.. >:|

it is.

axs groupset, paul brakes, bespoke frame.

What happened to the carry handle?

scoble put a black barrel adjust and ferrule ffs

axs groupset, paul brakes, bespoke frame.

It’s the anti Amey.

I brought the brakes after the frames is made, not before.

Good question; we forgo it as heating the tubing to accept the handle would end up being weak, i specify a lightweight tubing as I’m never gonna carry weight apart from the framebag on it to enable the main frames to feel spirited.

Cheap M:Part Elite headset sanded down, I might write Chirs King on it (misspelt on purpose).

£7.99 M part headset on a £2000 frame.

£7.99 M part

they are not that cheap anymore I think plus headsets a headset .. all you need is sealed bearings in some cups no?

Expensive headsets are the most ridiculous flex. Like you'll know the difference between FSA or Chris King

Retail they're over £50*, but incidentally you did point out the cost of my Ritchey headset on my Elephant that I used to have.

*(it may be that you search the headset and the result show you the component of the headset that cost £7.99)

I’m not saying it’s a bad thing. Expensive headsets are lame. Looking forward to the full bike pics. Caren/Matt done other great job by the looks of it

I’m tempted to get Hope but that still a bit flashy and not as cheap on trade price.

The project is currently delayed for two reason; one I just got a run-down flat that need a lots of work, and two a Trek FX2 because I broke my wrist and need to ride instead of commuting 3.5 hours/days on public transport.
