Yep almost, 12/25 at the back. I've got some road wheels that I normally use, so that ratio works well for the most part.
The plan was to be able to swap out the wheels really quickly, leave the chain and not have to adjust the rear mech too much for doing some gravel rides.

Had my first spin out on some gravel wheels/tyres on my Isen last weekend when the sun came out. Somehow forgot about the weeks of rain beforehand, so most of my planned route through the forest was way too boggy and muddy to get through.
Learnt road cleats were a unsurprisingly a terrible idea, as was the tight range road cassette, but was great fun anyhow. Looking forward to some more off-road riding this summer!

Annoyingly Shimano have made these from butter, and as such I've ended up rounding this. Also annoyingly, the part isn't available until the end of march (!?).
Bit of a long shot, but if anyones got one of these spare, or maybe a broken r8020/r8070/r9120/r9170 lever around they wouldn't mind selling for parts, let me know!

Weirdly some of them are. I think the some of the prior versions of the Superzero alloy version had holes which let you route the cable all the way round to the bar end.
I had to order some from a couple of different places and return to finally find some with the holes. Ended up getting some from amazon in the end.

Ended up finding a set of the 4 trek ones today, so if anyone needs the remaining two gimme a shout and they're all yours.

I don't suppose anyone happened to buy a set of four of those trek ones and now have two left over? More than happy to go halves and provide some beers for the trouble!
Royal mail were meant to deliver some today, but has predictably got lost in the post, and I'd really like to get my front mudguard fitted before I take the bike home for Christmas.

Had a really good experience with Pavé Velo in Stratford today. Would definitely recommend to anyone in the area.
I don't often go into bike shops for maintenance stuff, I like to try and do whatever I can myself, but when I had a slip on some ice, and couldn't get a di2 mech to go into crash recovery, I took it in for some diagnosis.
Staff were really helpful and knowledgeable, and though the di2 diagnostics couldn't kick it back to live, they were happy to send off to Shimano, free of charge, even though I didn't buy the mech there.
After spending way too much money building my Isen, my CAAD has spent the past 8 months hanging on my wall, so I decided I should sell it on. Bought off the forum a couple of years ago, with the plan of getting into shape and trying out crit racing. That inevitably never happened, so it's not seen much use, and has had a bunch of parts upgraded since.
Frame has a few paint chips around the stays and on the fork, and a little bit of cable rub around the front, but other than that everything is in great condition. Happy to take more pictures if anyone wants.
After £750 all in as is, or I have a set of polished silver Sram Rival shifter/derailleurs I could swap out for £600 if that's your bag instead. Collection from anywhere central/east ish London would be ideal.
