Has anyone ever successfully whittled down the bike collection to one swissarmy style allrounder bike and stuck with it?
I rarely take out the dedicated road bike anymore, the racks and guards commuter isn't too different from the offroad gravel bike. I'm considering one allrounder with maybe two wheelsets? -

I think I was having a brain fart yesterday. I tightened the qr up this morning and it's holding it nice and snug now.
For some reason my brain was thinking that it should be spinning freely instead of staying put in one place.
I shall now slowly back away with an embarrassed look upon my face -

Good plan. Don't have a blue hammer....yet
Here's a video link (if it works)

Bit of a weird issue with my sp pD-8 hub today...
I felt a bit of a vibration, thought that maybe something was stuck between the tyre and the front mu guard. when I pulled over to check it out I realised that my front light cable (that's insulation taped to my front rack) had started pulling itself free and wrapping around the hub axle.
On closer inspection, it seems as if the part of the hub that the wires connects to isn't spinning freely anymore, really notchy and enough resistance to pull the cable from it's tape. Notchy enough that I could feel it through the bars when riding.
The hub bearings themselves are spinning fine, the hub has covered less than a thousand miles since I had it.
Has anyone had a similar issue? -

thanks for the suggestions all.
I also sent him over these:

and these:

just in case I can tempt him with shallow rims and swanky hubs

Nice, I'll send the link over to him.
The 40mm was a rough guide from him, I'm sure shallower would be ok considering he wants alloy brake surface.Anyone know anything about these guys? Spotted on some deep Google diving:

I've been tasked by a friend to find him some new road wheels.
11 speed Shimano
Rim brake
Quick release
Alloy rim/alloy brake tracks
Clincher
Rider weight 95kg
Budget £6-700ish
Preferably semi aero like a 40mm deep rim but I'm not sure if this is a deal-breaker.
In stock and available is a deal-breaker though as he's currently without a rear wheel.Any suggestions?
