Okay fair enough, thanks , so seems like Novatec > more or less everything, value wise.
So considering only novatec, 32 vs 20/24, is 32 overkill? Hoping to lace them to some 80 mm carbon rims, how much of a stiffness difference will it make? Or is it really not noticeable?

Amazing thank you, I’m on the look out for track clinchers, hopefully you’ll have some!

Hi, are you still planning on selling/sharing wheels? I’m keen to see what you have!

I’ve got a Dolan DF3 with a Rotor Track BB. I bought this 7vrn crankset (https://www.brookscycles.co.uk/product/7vrn-track-chainset/) but there is loads of play so that the chain set can move along the axel by 5-10 mm through the BB.
The crankset came with its own BB, but there’s a lot of resistance when I try and install it, feels like I’m cutting extra thread (it’s wayy tight and harder than the Rotor BB). Not sure if it’s been manufactured poorly, or if this normal for installing a new BB?
Does anyone know if I should just use more spacers between the BB and cranks, or if not, what cranksets they would recommend that work with the rotor bb (obviously rotor will work, but a bit spenny)?

Just wondering what people's experiences are with riding the Ribble eliminator aluminium track frame? As with most track bikes, there's very little info online about it. I'm particularly interested in its stiffness, being an aluminium frame, as I'm hoping to upgrade from using the standard rental frames at Herne Hill/Lee Valley for racing.
Ta!

Thanks for that, good to know as it seems there's a black hole when it comes to TOR info online. Also good to know where it stacks up against the Pro Carbon. I was looking at getting myself a second hand TOR (to upgrade from the rental alloy Condors/Fujis), but I might still stick it out and keep browsing: if I were to get one now it would probably be a Pro Carbon, but I've heard so much about how flexi they are, so will just have to wait for the perfect frame!

Does anyone have any experience with either of these frames, specifically the T.O.R.? There's very little info about the pro carbon track online, and virtually nothing about the T.O.R. What are the differences/advantages between the two, and how are they to ride around a track?
Thanks in advance
