Interested if I can collect Wednesday evening.

@radar71 My legs fall off doing both ways twice a week. Haven’t managed to do it often, and often train back middle of the day to the office.

I’ve bought a Trek Checkpoint ALR5 for a very similar purpose, 50km into and out of London once/twice per week, plus towpaths/tracks at weekends.

For reference the alu frame/carbon fork combo with 40mm tyres @ 40psi is far comfier than my Domane 6.2 with 30mm tyres tubeless @ 70psi.

Could you measure centre BB to top of saddle for me, and if its less than 835mm is there enough seatpost before the min. Insertion line to get to 835?
Thanks
Hugh

Thanks pm coming your way

@Albb yes if a 1 1/8 disc fork, need 210mm steerer and minimum 460 A-C then I’m interested.
Thanks

What is the axle to crown on the fork?

I had 2 punctures in Vittoria Diamanté Pro clinchers last night in the wet. And had 1 couple of weeks ago when it was wet too so think it is time for some different tyres.

What tyres can people recommend for Herne Hill?

Cadence sensor received today, well wrapped and unexpected including a new battery. Excellent seller. Many thanks @TaylorTaylor

Now also looking for a Brother Kepler.

You have PM

Is the cadence sensor still available?

I’m after a Crosscheck in 60cm, either frame and fork or complete bike.

If frame and fork ideally with seatpost, headset, and brakes but that’s not essential.

I’m in Kent/London/Herts.
Thanks

Sorry I haven’t been online all afternoon, will pm now

If @Swiss Chap doesn't want to BB I have it please.

How big is the orange messenger? Would be interested in that and a tool roll like the red one on your other thread. Drop me a pm.

Yes that was me.

Has anyone heard how the chap that fell is doing?

Had my first night racing last night and loved it. Great friendly atmosphere and the rain just about held off. See you again next week

I've got my training accreditation a week on Sunday so hoping to be along to the Monday night race training after that. Looking forward to getting back on the track :)

At LVVP they said it was the silicon content of dual/triple compound tyres that cause the problem, and according to ChainReaction Luganos are a silica compound. Also not a slick so wouldn't want to risk it on wood.

When I got my track bike (second hand) it was shod with Schwalbe Ones, a top of the range road tyre, but triple compound. These had very little grip and squirmed and squealed on the boards at LVVP before I gave up and use a hire bike for the rest of the session and have since changes to track specific tyres (Vittoria Diamante Pro Pista).

Can't comment on outdoor/tarmac velodromes as I have only ridden them on hire/season bikes.

If you decide to split I'm interested in the derailleurs, chain and bottom bracket.

Any idea on max rider weight for the wheels?

Any idea on the condition of the bearings in the wheels/bottom bracket.
Very interested and long as they arent completely destroyed.

Edit to add: where abouts are you in NW london?

Ah they're not what I'm after. Thanks for replying.

Are the brake calipers center mount/Road type?
