Is running the rear light cable along (cable tied) to the rear brake hose a good/safe idea, or should I route it elsewhere?

It's easier with the manufacturers that publish the full dimensions, or if you buy one that has adjustable legs near the drop outs. I prefer a solid design, and just bought a Tubus Logo Evo that sits closer to the wheel that my previous Tortec Ultralight did on the basis of the 370mm height. The horizontal bar for my pannier is even lower, which I like.

I really liked the dot watching, along with the odd Twitter post, following the race.

I hadn't checked it yet today, but really glad to see you finished @hippy and with 7th too. That looked tough in places!

Thanks for that explanation. I hadn't actually realised the materials differ when I was looking last night.

The snap-it stuff would be handy for my town bike, but this rack is destined for my Croix de Fer, which might see a bit more milage from touring etc with just panniers.

Is some of it not great? I'm thinking about getting a Racktime Add-It rack as it's less than half the price of the Tubus Logo.

Thanks everyone.

The 8010 is an XT mountain bike hub. Does that already have the spacer built in?

I think so, looking at the MTB 11 speed chart.

It's a new Croix de fer build with a GRX 1x11 drive train, and I need a 142x12 rear hub.

From what I can see, the GRX rear derailleur definitely works with the XT cassette.

Can anyone help with some Shimano compatibility insight?

Using the charts, I can see a FH-M8010 rear hub is compatible with an CS-M8000 cassette, and that a CS-M8000 cassette is compatible with an RD-RX812. Does that mean those three things will happily work together, despite not being described on the same chart?

I've just bought this CdF 853 for my new commuter/weekender build. Going for GRX 1x11.

Does anyone know the order of the parts for the included headset? Top and bottom cups and bearings look the same, but what about the other bits? The leftmost circle has a seal around the outside.

What kind of fork? I drill and tapped a hole in the front of my steel fork.

Put drops on my commute pomp again, but I never seem to get the handling right with them.

Going back to Mary bar tonight I think.

I need a dynamo hub - that looks like the cheapest way to get one and it's a whole wheel!

Yeah, gear shifting but no freewheel from what I gather. Not sure how that works with the 'stop pedalling to shift' nature of the normal hubs though.

I have a 3-speed in my pomp, its awesome. Gears for the road, for the tow-path, and for pooling around with the girlfriend when she's on her Pashley.

Thanks for the 20% code. Just ordered some Core bibs to try for commuting.

My bike with gears. Super nice to ride, steel feels good after a few years of carbon fibre bikes.

Needs better wheels.

Up in Leicester these days, moved from working in London a while back, so it would be a post job, if you're willing.

Do you have any photos?

It's a 100mm hub, one of these

It was more a question of would the dropouts be okay with track nuts. It may be a silly question, I've never looked closely at the dropouts on my bikes to know if the QR ones are different.

Has anyone removed the decals from a raw v4? I've seen a few in photos, but I'm wondering about the process.

Cool, i'd be interested in them for my pomp if you could check that out.

Do they work okay with a track hub?

Awesome. Going to order a 3 then.

Need to make 1st on the 3 speed a bit more spinny too, so a new rear sprocket is on its way.

Anyone using a frame pump on a large Pompino? I'm looking at a Zefal, either HPX or Rev 88, but they seem to run 460-500mm or 510-550mm. The top tube sits in-between the two sizes, just shy of 510mm. I'm not sure which to buy; the one that might fall out or the one that might not fit.

The brakes perform much in line with how I'd expect them to. It's more the feel of the levers and the way the cable moves that feels a bit crap.

I was given the brakes when I built it, so bought the cheap levers to match. They are the Tektros for big v's. I'd like decent levers and some stopping power, whatever combination affords that.

It's got an SRF 3 in the back, matching front hub as well. It's 117mm out the box, and they sell a range of spacers and lock washers to space them out, although my frame took 117 without even seeming to pull the frame in.

It's running 42/17, which gives me around 65GI, with a 75% low gear, and a 133% high. I use it for canal paths, single track, across fields, and the hub and gearing is fine with that.

My girlfriend bought a Pashley last year that came with a three speed hub, and when going out with her, the Pomp always felt over geared (I think it was 48/16 or so). It's really opened up the bike for me, especially with guards and a rack.

The shifter is one of these, with a full length outer cable held on with some stick on cable stops, down to a fulcrum clip on the seat stay.

The only thing I don't like about the bike is the Tektro/XT brake set up feels rubbish.
