Price drops and one lens sold.

Didn’t get the notification for this, sorry!

Thank you, most kind. I am very happy with it.

Chainring is a 38t. Probably wouldn’t change it. If I can’t get up something with a 38-52, then I’m never going to get up it and should walk.

Damn. What a beauty!

@retrodicorsa I hadn’t actually! Thanks, that’s useful. The SRAM one sometimes turns up some slightly funky numbers.

@Momentum they’re Nukeproof Horizon CS ones - seem decent. Keep me clipped in and have a good platform.

Bike rides are less frequent than I’d like, but the wee one is now two and we have a good routine worked out, so I’m managing to get out every so often.

Months and months ago I bought some of the Rene Herse 85th anniversary tyres via the lovely @retrodicorsa and I have finally got around to getting Butternut Bikes to fit them while they were doing a handlebar switch for me.

So, not only do I have new tyres, but I have new stupidly wide Beacon XL bars courtesy of @SI and I love how the bike looks with the cleaner black/silver look.

Now for this storm to bugger off and get out for a ride.

And at £100 if you don’t sell to tuttonp I’d be interested. Could collect.

Just a thought, but have you looked at the Ritchey Beacons or even Beacons XL? Bikepacking.com loved them enough to actually write a whole piece on them: https://bikepacking.com/gear/ritchey-beacon-xl-review/

Could be worth investigating?

The temptation to have glow in the dark wheels is serious... https://www.decathlon.co.uk/p/mp/luminous/luminous-led-light-up-inline-skate-wheels-night-sky-80-mm-set-of-4/_/R-p-ea804a57-8970-4d16-b37c-1368a3712c92?mc=ea804a57-8970-4d16-b37c-1368a3712c92_c3&c=dark%20grey

Yeah will have a look around. I'm after the black ones, so am just being awkward.

Lovely. Not in stock until December, so could be a stocking filler. Ta.

OK Brompton hive mind. Had a wheel come off my rack yesterday. Put it back on, but the stock ones have never rolled that well.

What are current favourites for replacements? I'm getting the component upgrade itch, and this might just scratch it.

Also, I bought one of these to fit a Koma light to my P line, but it doesn't fit the block bit: https://tokyobike.co.uk/products/rindow-light-304-sus-stay

Anyone know where I can get one that does fit? Seems like it needs to be slightly slimmer.

Happy to sell that one on if it works for you.

Sold

I’ll take the 52cm Beacons if they’re still available please! DM incoming.

Ooh potentially interested. How much are you looking for?

Sister and boyfriend are off to do some touring in the Balkans in a couple of weeks, but she’s lumbered with a 50/34 and 32, which is far from ideal for loaded touring.

After anything that would get her a much smaller crankset and ideally bigger cassette.

Not sure how small cranksets go, but a 46/30 would be good, anything smaller a bonus.

Cassette wise, I’ve heard you can fit an 11-40, but really anything more than a 32 would be a plus.

Waterloo area good for collection, Surrey even better.

Thanks in advance!

Feels a bit sketchy?

‘Buyer collects. Cash only’.

Looks great though.

Prime babyhead boulder UK gravel near Farleigh today.

Starting to see some SFAB in places. Not much longer before places become unrideable I reckon.

Reckon the Bobike would work on a Brompton? Looks a bit long to me.

Just about to ask this. Thank you.

Anyone worked out if G-line hubs and brakes are P-line compatible? Could you rebuild a set of G-line wheels?

Guessing not, but wondering. Probably more of a Kinetics job if I did ever want to go disc brake.

Come for the Brompton (and MS!) content, stay for the love stories.

Rode the Rebellion Way the other weekend and we took to describing the stinging levels of our chins on a curry hotness scale.

Pretty sure I was at jalfrezi for at least half the time.

Also posted in the photo buy/sell thread here.

I've got a bunch of Fuji lenses in the cupboard I'm just not using, so am looking to move them on to people who will.

Anyone interested in the following? Pretty sure I've got all the boxes, with the possible exception of the 16-55, and 100% got the caps and hoods for those that had them.

All in great condition, although full disclosure - the Mitakon did get splattered with fake (I hope) blood at a Darkened Nocturn Slaughtercult gig that I shot just before covid kicked off. RIP Nambucca. None of it got on the lens and it's been cleaned.

XF 16-55 2.8 WR - £580

Mitakon Zhongyi Speedmaster 35mm f/0.95 Mark II (Silver) - £280

I do also have a 55-200, but a friend has it at the moment. £250.

As always, happy to be nudged in the right direction if the pricing is off. Pics available.

What sort of bar bag are you after? Small one for snacks and some bits, a roll with a dry bag you could remove, or something larger that would basically take everything for a bikepacking trip.

For the first - the Wizard Works Lil Presto seems to be well thought of.

Second - Restrap maybe? Bikepacking.com have this on most of the options: https://bikepacking.com/index/handlebar-harnesses-and-rolls/

And if the latter - I love the Wiz Works Shazam I’ve got, but it does need big wide bars.

Wiz Works bags aren’t cheap, but lifetime guarantee and made in London in a great range of colours and designs. You pays your money.

Alpkit also make decent more entry level stuff. Haven’t used it in ages, but is always spoken of highly.

Cool. Noted and price amended.

Giving Jameski first dibs for when he’s back, but happy to talk further if that doesn’t go anywhere.
