Sorry to dig up an old thread, but looking at these wrenches for the +20 Nm range (disc brakes, bottom bracket etc). Anyone who knows more about this than I do: Which one would be best and why please?
Thanks
-
Adding some colour to the Tarmac. Might be heading for anti, but will see how it turns out when it's done. Kind of in love with the saddle. Had only seen the yellow ones before. Forgot I had this top cap in my spares box for years.

Vs
https://www.campagnolo.com/UK/en/Wheels/zonda_disc_brakeWhich and why? Basically the same price online. Looks like the Fulcrum is slightly wider and a tiny bit lighter. Different spoke patterns and rims (asymmetric milling on the Fulcrums?) Does the Zonda have a 17mm internal rim width vs the Fulcrum's 19mm? Correct me if I'm talking out of my arse here.
Are these also worth considering? Slightly shallower and heavier though:
-
Yep I think so, I'll investigate :) Also just full disclosure: Although only used for checking the components on one bike, and then not used again so it's in perfect condition, the manufacturer recommends that the torque wrenches are calibrated once a year, so you might need to do that to make sure it's 100% accurate. This is normal for torque wrenches, but if bought brand new they will usually have been calibrated within the past few months, assuming they haven't been sat in a warehouse for ages.
-
I could do but it's quite heavy (400-500g), so might not be worth the cost for you. I can check at the post office tomorrow and let you know the price.

Photos added. Will reply to messages now.

Thanks.NORBAR 13640 TruTorque 3/8" Wrench TTi20 - 1 to 20 Nm range - Used once
Used to assemble one bike with carbon parts (seat post, steerer tube etc), and not used since. Looks new, with original protective box and certificate. Probably the best torque wrench you can buy for this Nm range, and perfect for working on all the small bolts on a bike. In another league to the Park and other bike-specific wrenches. Although only used to check one bike and then stored, Norbar recommend annual calibration, so if you want to make sure this is 100% accurate, it would be best to calibrate it.
£50 posted. SOLDGravity Racing Components 40t chainring - 40t / 110BCD - New
I bought this probably 10 or 12 years ago with the aim of putting it on either a fixed gear or downhill bike, and it was never used in the end. Made by an old USA downhill bike brand. Still sealed in its original bag with the staples. Not sure the width but looks very chunky. Really beautiful bit of kit. Might be nice on a burly fixed gear.

From my old Cannondale SuperSix Evo. These were removed from the bike when new. Never used.

Still have all these. All classics (Google any of them to read reviews and see videos), and would be a brilliant language learning tool. Please see link below for full description.

This is great. I like the silver rack and guards.
-
Bike arrived and looks lovely. I really loved my old SuperSix, but this is very different. Need to accept change and not be too sentimental.
Went for the 56cm with -4mm reach instead of the 58cm with +3mm, compared with the 58 Cannondale. Hopefully will be fine and won't have to have a huge spacer stack, only 20mm or so.
Still some adjustments to make, things to remove / add.
-
Reminded of this image too. Not sure how long you'd last with the GameCube library, but still. Resident Evil and The Wind Waker. Could give it a shot.

For lengthy games: PS4 and Horizon Zero Dawn, Nier Automata, Persona 5, Final Fantasy VII (the original, remastered on PS4, not the new chaptered remake), Final Fantasy IX, Final Fantasy X, Final Fantasy XII. That should last the rest of the year. Apparently the FFVIII remaster isn't so hot.
Others: The Yazkua series, Okami, Detroit: Become Human, and Devil May Cry 5 are also all excellent. Then there's Beyond: Two Souls, and The Last of Us, both remasters. All of the old Resident Evil games are on PS4 too - Skip number 6, the rest are good. The Talos Principle is a wonderful and deep puzzle game. I haven't played it yet and Dragon Quest is sometimes a bit too old school traditional JRPG for me, but XI is meant to be good. Shenmue I, II, and III, and Ni No Kuni: Wrath Of The White Witch: Remastered might be worth checking out too. Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night is also decent.
Games on my list to get: A Plague Tale, AI: The Somnium Files, Valkyria Chronicles 4, Ghost of a Tale (PSN), A Hat in Time (PSN). Resident Evil 3 is out soon too but will be quite short. There's Persona 5 Royal too (basically Persona 5 with some extras, so if you haven't played that yet, maybe get this new version).
There's loads on Netflix. Depends what you like. Mubi is also good.
I was considering getting a rowing machine -_-

Just thought the Zondas sounded / looked a bit nicer. The DT Swiss ones are a bit dull. Apparently Zondas are very strong too, and I'm quite tall and heavy.
-
Went for the Tarmac Disc Sport, 2019 model on sale, in the end.
https://road.cc/content/review/256243-specialized-tarmac-disc-sport
Ticks all the boxes, especially the threaded BB. I'm sure Praxis etc work very well, but easier for me to avoid any press fit bits at all. Will probably swap the wheels for Zonda Discs (unless anything else I should seriously consider?), tyres and saddle, and that's about it I reckon. Can upgrade other parts later, then if I ever get another disc frame (steel baby, come to me), can just transfer all the bits over.
-
Truth. Quite tempted to try the bell on the drops though (not with a £50 bell -_-)
-
Yeah I see the routing in the photo. I meant "No" as in it's fugly, not it doesn't have it. Has some back of the TV vibes going on.
-
Ding ding
-
Ha yeah. That is important. Pretty sure it's a complete Ultegra R8050 Di2 groupset, £1050 just for that. And the wheels were £700-900 new. So seemed like it might be quite a good deal.
-
Bar and saddle swap definitely, and maybe seat post. Pedals wouldn't be included.

I was watching that yeah and hoping they drop the price even more. The 2018 model went down to £1000. Ultegra Race one is nice too.

Thanks for all the info. That 3T is even uglier than the Giant though. And with only a 50t must be an arse to get up any hills, even with 34 at the back. The huge cable loop reminds be of SRAM Red. Was a pain to set up the front mech and wasn't keen on the giant clunk when changing gears at the front either.
Will go with an older SuperSix or the Tarmac 105 most likely. I realise it goes against what I said, with BB30a and rim brakes, but still have a soft spot for this, as one of the last SuperSix's before the aesthetically questionable redesign. With slightly deeper wheels looks pretty ace, IMO:
Compare, #1: Sexy smooth speedy shiny black and silver and white dolphin of my dreams:
#2: Nightmare fuel. Head tube, fork crown, and down tube area: No. Cable routing: No. Paint job looks like someone took a roller to it once, then got bored and wandered off. The previous big Cannondale logo was much nicer. Just noticed too: 3 nipples? Also made in China now, not Taiwan, not that there's anything wrong with that but still. Cutting costs much? Try harder next time pls Cannondale it's not difficult come on...

Apologies if this is a silly q, but when you guys install a modern 10 or 11 speed group set, which needs a 130mm rear hub, are you just stretching the old frame to accommodate, or looking for older frames which were originally built with 130mm rear spacing?
