I'm looking to put a 1x groupset on an old canti Tricross- is older Sram the only option for cable operated 1x 10/11spd and I don't want to change the HG freehub either?

Would prefer a good spread with a 1:1 lowest ratio.

I am currently running Shimergo 8spd so will have to be changing pretty much everything so value for money definitely preferred.

I have a F&F with plenty of clearance for touring tyres, not canti but I can supply long drop calipers.
It's been resprayed so no idea of make or materials but think of raleigh, dawes 1980s/ 1990s type build. All threads etc. good with a 105 headset included.

the only bad point is a bearing in the frame that rattles around- didn't bother me but will drive some riders mad! also too small for me at 6ft 3in so should be fine for your stature.

Has anyone had experience of these mirrors? I feel all I'm going to see is up my shorts!

Trp, I've tried to fix a cheap mirror to the front rack but it moves around far too easily

Let me know if any use

I'm sure I've got a Shimano Pro 26.8 seat post in silver. may be a bit zig zaged at the bottom but Ill send some pics and have a measure. Are you sorted for forks now? I have some black ones if interested?

Just seen the new page post so no worries!!!

Thanks all for the mirror info- not keen on the Selle Italia monstrosity!
Maybe a helmet mounted mirror would be the best but I will check out the German and Dutch reviews too

Mirrors.
has anyone got a recommendation for a rear view mirror that will work with bar end shifters?
I have the Cat-eye one on my e-bike and commuter but these have STI shifters, I find them extremely useful on roads and would like to find a mirror for my touring bike that has bar end shifters and front and rear racks etc.

TIA

25in Raleigh Royal any good to you?

There were a pair on my local FB market place. I'll see if they are still available and let you know

Maxis Chronicle any use?

I have a 25in Rakeigh Royal, part built in the photo but can strip down to what ever your needs are.

Will need posting price negotiable but somewhere around £100 all in.

and not to forget that Planet X have a mega deal on Rival shifters ATM

Likewise if you need a bed around Launceston I am in Tavistock :)

this raleigh royal is still in my garage. seat tube is 25in I can measure the tt tomorrow.
My XL Genesis Croix de Fer has a longer top tube but a shorter seat tube (not for sale just for information)

No interest here so now on ebay

I might have an adaptor, I'll have a look over the weekend if you can wait that long?

Raleigh Royal too old for you? Fits with long drop calipers and 700c wheels

Where was this on Dartmoor? I am in Tavistock and always on the look out for nice rides over the moors.

Here some pics from my hallway. Nice and true a bit more concave on the brake surface than I remember, not going to be 'best' wheels but serviceable and solid.

Can include the 23c Bontrager tyres if you want for £55 inc postage? (Unless I'm well off with the price- postage is a killer)

I'll get some pictures tomorrow

Not sure of make or material but feels light and loads of tyre clearance so probably an old touring set up.

Pictured with wheels to show clearance- not included in sale, nor is the crank.

105 headset, works with long drop calipers and 700c wheels (I've got some shimano if required), front and rear clearance for 32mm tyres. Annoying bearing inside frame!

Will need posting, £60 all in

Showing signs of age, well used but totally solid. Includes 27in 5 speed wheels, suntour cyclone 2 front and rear mechs, suntour power rachet shifters, mafac brakes (I have the straddle cables and yokes).

Used as a commuter for about a year, only issue I had was finding the right seatpost diameter- 27mm too tight, 26.8 had to use a coke can shim. BB threads all good.

Will need posting, how does £115 all in sound?

Got a pair of shimano RS500 low spoke count good braking surface, bit dated and narrow.

Will need posting, let me know if you want photos and any more details.

Looks like very little use
2mm thick cog,
1x 20mm spacer,
1x 6mm spacer.

£7.50 posted to you door
