What's the forum recommended beater fixed/ss wheelset?

optimistic 4th dibs.

Second dibs in case the above doesn't work out.

Dibs, pm incoming.

Did these sell?

Glad to hear it can be made to work! I'm pretty sure I got this right – lips sit flush against BB shell on both sites, NDS is the less protruding cup, no play in crankset. Not using any washers or spacers apart from the seals, are you?

I have got a 2017 CAAD12 frame with a BB30a and am using a Wheels MFG conversion BB and the Ultragra R8000 crankset.

I've just spent the whole weekend trying to set up the FD – but in the big ring without trim I can just about shift up to the 4th or 5th largest cog and even with trim I get chain rub in big/big. If I adjust the FD position I get rub in big/small. I've set the FD up about 10 times, reading up to make sure I'm avoiding any mistakes, checked crankset and BB installation, etc. No luck.

I'm starting to think there might be something wrong with the chainline using this BB and crankset and I might have more luck using either a different conversion BB or a different crankset. Any ideas?

Sorry undibs

Yes had a look there but nothing's particularly cheap.
Good point about the spacers, thanks!

Thought I'd ask before I splurging for a BB converter and a Shimano crankset – dream scenario would be spidering with 50/34.

I'm in the market for a new road bike, have just ridden a rented CAAD12 for a couple of days and loved it. Now torn between buying a CAAD12 in the sales (not actually that many great deals around and not super keen on the available colourways, that's personal) – and the new CAAD13 where the mudguard mounts would be a big plus, which I've seen (albeit not ridden) and thought ok.

I get that it's a departure from the traditional CAAD aesthetics but if I don't mind that, is there an objective reason not to get a CAAD13 right now?

Thanks, I've already got the tires sorted, will keep looking...

As above for the mrs who had her bike nicked. Thanks!

Hi, I'd be interested in the wheels. Would you be able to get them down to London some time?

Ah that makes sense re. the tape. Pics of chainstays might be useful?

Still tempted by the frameset if you're up for splitting. Do you have some more pictures? It looks like there's a bit of dirt and two marks on the top tube?

Potentially interested in the frameset. Been craving a Road Logic for a while but unsure about sizing as the effective top tube of the 55 seems quite long with 56.3cm per Ritchey specs – how tall are you and how does it fit?

Cheap CdF or rusty wreck?

Realised I can't justify this atm, still a stunning bike, GLWS!

Interested, PM'd.

Interested too and PM'd.

Hey, has anybody got their Strael yet? Thinking about getting one and would love some input. Cheers.

Thanks! I might come back to this offer but still hoping to find a matching shifter...

Shipped my bike to Europe, had a great time and putting it back together I realise something is off, the plastic shifter casing is snapped (see pics), these f**kers must have turned it upside down and dropped it down.

Just on the off chance somebody has got one of them lying around... Any help appreciated!

Great, just to check the length – I'd need one that's 250mm, looks like it is?
PM me when's best to meet. I'm in Whitechapel.
