Ultegra 12 or Campagnolo Super Sold out? Better get hoarding
-
Great topic, the beauty of cycling is not only the exercise/transport aspect, but simplicity of the bike and tinkering factor. I get that not everyone wants to work on their own bikes, but learning how to take care and then upgrade my bikes as a kid gave me a lot of satisfaction.
Making bikes unserviceable at home is frustrating, but deliberately not making spares or parts being written off due to labour to repair is shitehousery.
Not to get into the mech/elec groupset argument, because I'm sure Di2 is banging but it's a shame high-end mechanical isn't on offer new and you're restricted to second hand/fire sales these days. Better get the Abe Simpson yelling at cloud meme out...

Bought in 2020. Ran these as summer wheels, then swapped them onto a different bike last winter. Bought a pair of H Plus Son TB14s that suited the bike better so these are surplus to requirements.
Good:
Stickers removed
True, smooth
Plenty of life in the brake tracks
Rim tape
Shimano freehub (have a Campagnolo if preferred, will swap)Meh:
Narrow
Not tubeless
Scratch on front wheelLocated in Aberdeen. Will be posted in a proper box. £80 all in please
-
A shame you want to run 10sp, for 11 the spacing between Campagnolo and Shimano is close enough.

Would you post? If so dibs

Was it the Japanese track team bumping the brakeless hoods thread? Those nubbins look familiar:

Tufo tubs aren't the best but I remember using this video guide they made when taping tubs on, works a treat pulling the backing tape off slowly with the tyre mounted

Forgot about this dude, should've got Frans the "lookalike" up on the podium instead:
-
Fair on all fronts, would've appreciated Eddy giving him backhanded praise or some "yeah but how many mountain stages" chat.
-
Jockey wheels? Or a tighter link in the chain perhaps?
-
Anyone else a bit disappointed Merckx didn't attend Cavendish's presentation? I'm not surprised, but would've ramped the poignancy up to 11

Hadn't heard this until a few days ago when it popped up in a Spotify "made for you" playlist. For once it was right, damn

Double seatclamp as standard?! Weird setup but almost worth it for parts

Not a mad deal, but the cheapest I've seen rim brake Ultegra DI2: https://fawkes-cycles.co.uk/shimano-ultegra-12-speed-rim-brake-di2-groupset-p33157/s68395
MGOOF away...

I thought it was Oreos, dick behaviour.
On the plus side, Pog's yellow wheel graphics look like Cosmics
-
Bettiol scratching and JV finding out in the commentary box is... odd!
-
Yeah I used to butcher these off with a screwdriver, very much better getting a skinny jaw 3 arm puller. Cable tie the arms to stop them splaying

I tow my 3 and 5 year old in a Burley trailer with a Kona Honky Tonk. Find it much less wobbly than the Thule seatpost mounted seat I used with just one. As long as you can store it I'd go with that
