Maybe we’re all wrong

Sounds like it may be possible!

Where have you seen they’re for carbon steerers only? I’ve just read things saying it’s designed for 1/8 steerers.

If they are for carbon only the previous own clearly wasn’t aware of it.

But no stress I’ll just get a star nut out in.

If anyone wants the Head Doctor drop my a PM

Seems so! The bikes in the shop soon so I think I’ll just get them to install a standard star nut

it tightened as far as it can go. I had to extract it out of the steerer with a bolt like a makeshift crank puller.

It was as tight as it could go in the steerer. I couldn’t tighten it more without it spinning and I couldn’t loosen it as it would just spin the other way.

Now that I’ve extracted it I can’t loosen it to try again because of the weird way it’s designed!

I bought a frame and rather than a star nut, it had a Hope Head Doctor (took me a while to work out what it was).

I can’t seem to get it to work though. When I tighten down the top cap it keeps spinning before ever getting tight. It’s basically dragging the Head Doctor out of the steerer. I tried to tighten the head doctor some more but then the whole thing started spinning instead of tightening.

Has anyone had any luck with one of these before? Seems to be totally an over engineered replacement for a simple task!

The inside of my steerer does feel a bit sticky/greasy. Is this maybe just stopping it from getting any purchase?

Should I just give up and get a star nut installed?

Hi all,

Currently building up a tourer/bikepacker and I’m looking for independent, cottage industry types to produce the bags!

We’ve all heard of Wizard Works, and Witslingers (for good reason!). Amazing offerings from both, but what other small batch bag makers are out there? Even better if they’re UK based!

If you’ve got bags from an independent producer please share your photos and experiences here!

Sorry just sold!

Sold!

Any interest at £80 posted?

Any interest at £65?

Hi all,

Didn’t get along with my B17 so passing it on. It’s in great condition, hardly worn in at all and still maintains its original shape. It has a slight scuff on one of the shoulders but it isn’t hugely noticeable.

Included in sale are the spanner for adjusting tension, the Brooks rain cover (great for hiding it from would be thieves), and a mostly full pot of Proofide! It’s even in its original box, though it’s seen better days after having sat in my cupboard for a few months.

Looking for £70 all in.

Ah excellent, that’d super! Thank you

Looking for a downtube barrel adjuster cable stop. I’m running a 1x setup so I ideally need right side only if anyones got one kicking about. Would buy a pair for ease if it’s available though.

Cheers

I’ve got a black 110mm with 5 degree rise I’m looking to sell. Drop me a PM if you’re interested.

Super stuff, haven’t seen something like that before!

Looks exciting! Intrigued by what’s going on with that rear rack?

Packaging unfortunately got thrown out!

Magic components Moth Bars, iykyk. Bought these off Freshtripe, arrived yesterday, fitted them and they’re just not for me. Mad bummed as they super sick.

Paid £98 so listing for £90 + post.

Hi all,

I’m after a Brooks Cambium in black but must have the silver rivets and metal frame.

Not too bothered about condition as long as it’s clean!

Would need posting so include that in price offered.

Thank you!

Hi all,

Ended up with two pairs of these so surplus to requirement.

Working fine but not the best cosmetic condition. Would probably scrub up well. One is missing a barrel adjuster but can replace these for a quid or two. And I’d highly recommend replacing the pads.

£35 posted?

Cheers

Just thought I may as well ask if anyone has a King cage lowering cage, the ones that drop your cage height a little, before I buy one from Freshtripe!

Let me know if you have one available.

Cheers

Thanks for the messages! I’m actually all sorted now. Will relabel this thread.

Cheers

Yep, that’s the one

Ordered these, hopefully they’ll do the trick. Silly cheap too…
