I have no frame pegs. Do I add a frame pump or are there any good mini pumps? I hate stuffing everything in my Jersey so on my commute I have a long pump in my carradice bag but for non commuting rides I don’t always want to Carry the carradice. So thinking of tool roll plus frame pump or handlebar bag? What’s the most practical and what Will get me the most Instagram likes bearing in mind I have no tanwalls.

might go for it then, thanks for the tip!

How wide do they end up? My frame should be good for 45c tyres so it's tempting. Are you happy with them? Would use them for relaxed mtbing.

Thanks, there goes my lunch break.

I have g-one in 30mm on my commuter. I can run up to 40/41 with mudguards. Which off-road tyres could I use if I wanted to act stupid and go mtbing. Nothing too technical. x'plor mso?

Will I blind other cyclists/cars with it?

First time on the bike in over two month. Fuck.

Bought this: https://www.merlincycles.com/shimano-st-rs685-hydraulic-disc-brake-stis-br-rs785-disc-brakes-post-mount-75654.html

afaik it comes pre-bled. Am I understanding http://si.shimano.com/pdfs/dm/DM-BR0008-08-ENG.pdf correctly? Just remove the yellow plug, insert the hose and tighten?

Pictures of everything in the box will be uploaded tonight.

Or should I just take it to a bike shop? If it isn't obvious, I'm a disc brake virgin.

Has the Spexcel store gone offline?

do you have pictures? Brother-in-law is woodworker so I could ask him for advice.

Everything is fine. That stupid sticker made me jump to conclusions. Can't wait to ride them :)

Stupid me, there's a clear coat sticker on them which rises 1-2 mm, combine that with a dark lit workspace and I jumped to conclusions. So should be fine. thanks!

I have some stupid questions. Bought a wheelset. Installed tubes and tyres. Put it in the frame that is being build up but the rear wheel isn't as true as I'd like it to be. Do I need to wait to ride it for some km's to see if the wheel 'sets' itself? Ofcourse I've already thrown away the box in which they came so return will be a hassle. Will make a video tonight to see if I'm overreacting or not. Would like some opinions. Is there a tolerance to how wheels can arrive out of the box?

jup, that makes sense. No idea where the studs are? how is the ceiling built up?

If you really want to be sure I'd make a hole a bit smaller than the ceiling rose, insert a wooden plank that's bigger than the hole, two drywall screws to secure it in place, and screw the hook in there. A bit like this: https://dadand.com/reinforcing-drywall-to-mount-stuff-or-fixing-drywall/

If you can still move the electricity you can find the studs with a strong magnet.

yeah, these things always get out of hand :p my dad was an electrician so I always have him check before I finish the walls but these installations are pretty straightforward.

heavy duty plasterboard screws, the metal ones. I have a radiator hanging on four of these middle ones (they are bigger and take about 25kg per screw, as per the package):

Any decent hardware store should carry these.

Building something else, otherwise the steel ribble would have been a contender. looks good for that price!

Going to start rebuilding the little one his room on saturday. Demolition first (which means I'll have to work a few hours this night after work to clear the room, have been stuffing loads of work tools/ other shit in there and want to start early saturday). Clear out the old shitty ceiling, new frame for drywall ceiling, new drywall ceiling with isolation. Hopefully the walls are pretty okish otherwise I might just put new small 5cm drywall in front of them. Might make it easier to redo electricity. Break out old floor, put in new laminate floor. Hopefully the parents/parents in law have loads of free time because I'll need some help for this.

How shit is trakpak? waiting on some bike parts from Merlin but tracker hasn't moved since it was announced. It's been a week now.

It's on Amazon.de for 76 euro if that helps.

looking for a decent disc wheelset. Hunt gravel? Hope? DT Swiss PR 1600? Any other suggestions?

@GoatandTricycle no idea, did a quick search on royal mail and might be 40/50 pounds? Not much experience with all your options. Am interested so willing to pay for the postage!

How many km on them? Willing to send to Belgium?

Awesome writeup!

thanks, will check it out!
