Would you consider splitting at all? Would be interested in the shifters and can collect

Dibs on the Shimano Hydraulic shifters, I'll PM now.

I've got a 175mm Dura Ace 9100 crankset for sale which could be an alternative to the Ultegra one and happy to sell at a good price.

Got it checked out following the recall, it's fine and I haven't used it since.

I've got some 32mm Gravelking Slicks that haven't been used that I'd be happy to sell.

EDIT - I'll take £35 collected

My shins seem to have a constant, slightly warm and fuzzy feeling now from the relentless amount of nettles.

Usually spring is the best time of year for this, April or May. However, this year spring was so wet that it was a mudfest.

A very niche build that's probably put people off.

Happy to chip in, I've not used a better tyre when it comes to muddy conditions.

However, all that grip comes at the cost of a tyre that's noticeably slow on the tarmac.

BPP then Bromley Common is another way out

Yep, or 28mm with guards which is plenty

£300 really isn't much for a Sora bike that could be a good commuter/winter bike

You do have to get a Mike Ashley card though which could get a bit dodgy.

Must be a hangover from the COVID cycling boom and also the fact that you basically have to give away rim brake bikes now, whether new or second hand.

East of Croydon there's a fair bit, I work in Croydon so know it well!

Start by going through South Norwood Country Park, across Ashburton playing fields, Through Lloyd Park then enjoy the view at Addington Hills and take a photo of the sunset for Insta.

Then Conduit Lane, down the steep descent and up the climb to then go through Croham Hurst Woods.

At that point carry on to Kings Wood/Selsdon Wood if you want a longer ride or loop it back through Shirley using Pinewoods and Highbroom Wood then Harvington Park and Kelsey Lane gets you back into the centre of Beckenham.

Interested in the crankset, PM sent.

Just measured and I don't have a big enough frame so it's all yours.

Decathlon own brand ones are KMC X11 chains but for only £15

Basically a more modern CAAD 8. There's no such thing as a bad alloy Cannondale frame IMO, they do know their stuff.

As you say, cheaper aluminium used but likely the Optimo is more robust than a CAAD12 with it's famously fragile toptube.

...dead excited about going to Itchy and Scratchy land?

I'm really enjoying the 44mm Mezcals I'm using right now. The closest thing to an all conditions tyre I've found but still quite quick on tarmac.

Yeah, I've converted some Force shifters with a Ratio kit. Those SRAM shifters are so simple that it's an easy job.

I swear as well that the shifting quality improved due to the higher quality of the Ratio parts.

Doubletap is great, love how there's no shifting on the brake lever. Planet X were selling mechanical 1x Force and Rival levers and rear mechs for very cheap. Not sure if they still are.

Yeah, cut I've them since. The fact there's two plugs there though means there's a bulge there now which is noticeable when riding.

Lucky you! This was after my last ride which was only about 20 miles of gravel around Bromley and Croydon . That's after having a couple more in the front the previous ride

I'm still stuck on 11 speed!
