Interesting. How's the sizing?

Oops! Replied to the wrong message, meant the primavera aero bars.

These went down to 45 with the code so ordered them. How good are they?

I drove mine to Girona from Calais in a day. Was pretty comfy.

What's the goto alix bleed kit for Sram bleeding edge? Ideally something equal to the Sram Pro kit.

How much hose? Would the front fit 150mm forks?

Happy Friday! Picked this navy bb36 in the new year sales to mark the birth of our first child in early Jan. Hopefully she'll want to wear it when she's 18! (Yes I know I should've bought the bracelet version but this was a good price and available. Thinking of getting a uncle straps jubilee for it)

Red AXS gear kit with centrelock rotors for £900 after code EXTRA10.

Sorry that's the one I meant. Fiandre Pro Medium

I've had the light for years (thou the old version which was called the 'alpha jersey' and it actually seems to have better cuffs and fit than this new version). It's very versatile with as you say different base layers and even a gilet on top. Another jacket that has a similar use case (windrpoof front, breatheable rear) but very slightly warmer is the Sportful Fiandre Medium.

I bought the Alpha Ros 2 standard last week (when wiggle had it for £108). The windstopper material is thicker, the fit is baggier and the inner 'alpha vest' is gridded fleece and comes all the way down the arms. Much warmer and definitely a below 5 degrees jacket.

Just to confuse things the latest versions of these jackets are called the Alpha Flight and Alpha Doppio respectively and actually use Polatec Alpha for the inner vest.

Which Hope would you recommend? Tech 4 E4s?

Tredz have them for pretty cheap. https://www.tredz.co.uk/.SRAM-Guide-RE-Disc-Brakes_102709.htm?variations=option:Black%2520Rear%2520%257C%25201800mm%2520Hose&sku=373907

I was looking at Codes but thought they might be overkill for a trail bike (and me at under 70kg). Keen on 2nd hand thou, let me know deets.

These are £57 for a pair but can't find that much info on them

The last Hopes I had were 2 pot mono minis. New hopes are nice but a bit too pricey.

Planning to build up this bargain Vitus escarpe soon as a trail bike. I have XT 2 pots on my current xc bike but thinking of going with 4 pots.

Had various Shimano brakes (which I've never really loved) for a long time so open to trying something else... Budget around £200 max. Gears will be SRAM eagle. Had a look around and these seem to be the options...

SRAM G2 RSC - full kit incl 200mm rotors from the Cotic outlet at £199

SLX 7120 - excl rotors £180 on eBay

Magura MT Trail Sport - reduced to £130

SRAM DB8 - dirt cheap on wiggle atm

Formula Cura 2 - these are 2 pot but people seem to rate them. £170 on lord gun

SRAM Guide RE - really cheap at Tredz but I think are a previous gen model?

Any suggestions?

Burner. Also useful to warm up your newborn when your jacket doesn't close and it's minus out!

On this topic, I want to sew a panel (using an old waterproof or some Polartec Power Grid) to zip into various technical jackets to close around the baby when wearing them in a sling. All the zips seem to be ykk 5cn but they're reversed with the coil facing inwards. I can't seem to find a matching zip online. What should I be looking for? I know this isn't the right place to ask but @Chopsicle and others have a wealth of knowledge here.

Wasn't me but I have a salmon mr01 I haven't used and want to sell...

These are great frames. Did 20000k on mine over the years and sold it to a friend last year. Glws!

I got 29s. Hadn't actually noticed the black. Still a bargain, might get some new decals to match the build.

I got the odd green colour :( what did you get?

S-NACKS?
