Apologies, managed to double-post in the wrong sub-forum, so leaving this thread open until/unless it gets moved.

SRAM Force AXS 46/33 (DUB) chainset - £65

Brompton 3/6 speed wheelset (BWR hub, silver) - £65
Rims are used and have wear, but if you like running stuff to the ground or wanna build a Brompton wheelset with the Sturmey Archer Brompton Wide Range hub, then this is for you. Can throw in some used Schwalbe Kojaks tyres (wire-bead) too.

Panaracer GravelKing SK 38mm - £OFFERS
I have a couple of pairs of these. One's only been used for 200-300 miles by my estimation and feel fresh. Did get one puncture that didn't seal, so there's a plug on one tire. How's £30 for the pair?

The second pair is older, and more worn but have plenty of tread life. £15 for the pair

Pics will be uploaded later.

Mismatched track wheelset - FREE - claimed
Rear wheel is a Fuji/Vera Corse DPM27, don't remember what the front is. Pretty beat but only used on track (Herne Hill) - no braking AFAIK.

Weinmann DP18 Track wheelset - £SOLD
Brake tracks were fresh/new. Have done < 200 miles commuting in good weather and lightly scoured the brake tracks to improve performance (and reduce pig squeal). Vittoria Zaffiro 25c tyres included

Happy to accept reasonable offers. Collection from E4 or E5/E9 or thereabouts.

That was a fascinating read @clubman and achievement, with a nice bit of East London history so thanks! The headset moves freely, but not exactly smoothly, there is some grind that needs taking care of.

I've now done around 100 miles this week on the bike, and am starting to get used to it. Some of the problems I had are more down to familiarity and even other things I didn't give attention too; the first being braking, which I've adjusted more to my liking, and the second being tire pressure.

The Zaffiro Pros I've fitted feel nowhere near as grippy as the Graphene 2.0 versions, a criticism I ignored in their reviews (and paid the price by slipping and hitting the deck on a slippery mini roundabout). I actually lowered the pressure from their minimum recommendation by going with my preferred method(s) - using either SRAM or Silca's tyre pressure guide. With the front/rear lowered by 15/10psi respectively, control and stability already feels much better.

If it comes to it I'll give it a shot, but keen on keeping to drops or bullhorn/tt like bars for now.

Thanks all for the suggestions. Makes sense.

@skrtluv, this is what I had in mind too -to go for pursuit or bullhorns, and add some tt brakes on the ends so I can stay in that wider position. I'm actually thinking of lengthening the cranks (they're 165 or 167.5mm) as I'm used to 172.5-175, so I can also bring the saddle height down and lower the stem. Might not help with steering much but my center of gravity feels too high and on sharper turns it feels unstable.

EDIT: Latest build post starts from: https://www.lfgss.com/comments/17413268/

Bought this Fuji Track from the recent Herne Hill velodrome bike clearance for £100. Since then, I've changed pretty much everything (from spare parts, or on the cheap) except for the seatpost, headset and crankset.

I'm enjoying the ride and my first proper foray into single-speed/fixed, but this thing steers like a truck. I would've thought the steep head angle and fitting standard 42cm drop bars would mean it's just as or even more twitchy than my slacker road bikes, but nope. The headset seems okay; the bars do swing quite lightly and freely. I am riding on the tops with inline brakes though; so a narrower position overall - but one I'm more than familiar with. Any suggestions on what to do, or change?

Since this is the Current Projects sub-forum, here are more details on the build, and approx costs:-

• Bike - £100
  
• DP18 wheelset - £30 (from a user here <3, old wheels were beat)
  
• Campi Mirage calipers - £15 (Condor)
  
• Condor inline levers - £22.5 (Condor)
  
• Red brake housing - £5 (Condor I think)
  
• 18t cog - £10 (Condor again)
  
• Miche 18t Freewheel - £? (on my LBS credit)
  
• New chain - £? (LBS credit, old one had paint coming off)
  
• Shimano M520 pedals (Spares bin)
  
• Brooks Cambium C13 (Spares bin, but too precious so will change)
  
• Specialized 100mm stem / FSA 100mm stem (Spares bin, still deciding which I prefer)
  
• FSA Omega 42cm drop bars (Spares bin)
  
• Fizi:k bartape - £5 (Halfords, hustled 3 strips from their no/damaged packaging box)
  
• Vittoria Zaffiro Pro tyres - £22 (Wiggle, not in pic)
  
  

So barring the tyres which I was buying anyway, I've spent around £100 on basically braking and a new, partial drivetrain. More than I hoped, but I wasn't gonna run 48x14 gearing so that had to go.

Thinking of changing the bars to bullhorns or just adding road bike brakes, so I have slightly more width/control, and have something more comfortable to hold while climbing too.

Same here if it isn't too late.

Do you have any pics? Thanks.

Selling a used Miche Syntium AXY WP DX (Disc brake) wheelset. They're fitted with a SRAM XDR freehub driver.

Complete rim specs:
Rim Dimensions: 622-18c
Rim profile: 25.5mm, asymmetric
Weight: 1690g*
Inner Rim Width: 18mm
Spokes: Sapim Aero, straight pull
Freehub: SRAM XDR

More info can be found at: https://www.miche.it/en/products/strada/ruote/syntium-wp-axy-dx.html although some of the specs listed are for the newest iteration of the Syntium wheels, not the one's being advertised. The specs I've listed are to the best of my knowledge at the time of buying.

*1673 on my scales, without tape.

Can upload more pics upon request.
