A happy ending!

It'd such a shame to part this, so much attention to detail.

Got these as a present, it's just not the right shape for my head. I think I used them like 3 times. Mainly looking to swap them for Oakley Sutro, or something similar, any offers?

Damn thats good. Yes, that lane, and I am stealing the name.

See you in the fun race! (not-so-subtle) hint for my costume:

Ah I was looking at the wrong thing to match 55cm (top tube effective). Sorry to get you excited!

Am I entitled to financial compensation if I've used mucoff wet lube on a drivetrain years ago that I was actually planning on using again? Currently scraping off cured black muck from a chainring with a scalpel.

I dont suppose anyone has a spare cable guide kit for a 2018 synapse carbon? Looking for CK3568U00OS to be precise. Out of stock in the UK, most reasonable would be to get it from Germany.

Just sent now, thanks for sorting this!

£1k for a full bike in Notthingham

Buy any beater wheelset you fancy and shim the rotors to make them fit exactly the same.

If this was smaller, or I were taller, you wouldnt have a frame to sell anymore.

Most productive few hours of my life!

Thanks for all your hard work you continue putting in looking after the site.

THATS MY MATES BIKE, I BUILT THAT! It was stolen from his back garden.

Where exactly in Leytonstone? Can you describe said local crackhead?

Stolen from Stratford from mates garden. Last seen in Leytonstone a few days ago without a bartape

Oh thats totally what I will do. I wont turn down a brand new pair of pedals, was just pondering if I may be able to continute to use the old ones. Makes complete sense that I wont be able to.

I think part of the return process is connecting the pedals to the app and processing it there. I have excellent dental insurance, but my risk-reward analysis consists of two data points:

-Issue not big enough for them to do / have to do a proper recall with stop-ride notification
-It would see over 1000W about twice a year, and I weight 67kg

I just received a Favero replacement notice:

Dear Customer,

Based on our recent analysis, we've identified a defect in a small
number of Assioma road units produced between 2021/02 and 2022/09. In
very rare cases, this defect can cause the spindle to break.

Unfortunately, your SN_R: XXXXXXX is among the affected units. As a
precautionary measure, we are offering you a free replacement to
ensure your continued satisfaction.

While this is not a recall and we are under no legal obligation to
take any action (as confirmed by a leading independent certification
entity) we are taking this step to uphold our commitment to providing
the highest standards of customer service.

We encourage you to stop using the potentially affected pedal(s) and
take advantage of this free, quick, and easy replacement. There’s no
need to return the pedal(s); simply dispose of it/them. The
replacement will be delivered to your home promptly.

So what are the chances that they will brick the old ones via the app as part of the replacement programme? 100%?

Edit: aswering my own question from the Favero forums: Yes, pedals will be deactivated. Still extremely happy with having replacement bits around and spare pedals for the bike on the turbo.

Still great service from them, and these pedals gave me absolutely zero trouble over the past few years. On one hand, my next powermeter purchase will be from them for sure, on the other, I am worried about them, as a standup business with durable products and great customer service...

DHB clothes are back on with some very good pricing too....

@packet Going on an older Merlin titanium extralight. Its a weird custom with 1.1/8 headtube and canti/V brakes (but no clearance for cyclocross tyres). Think something like this:

Good shout to try! They are supposed to be from a new batch, and the grove is visibly quite deep. Just fitted some corsas without any issues.

kjlem - fair.
Rodolfo with you on that. I think it will most likely be built up with a force 22 groupset, so thats another nudge towards black I think.

kjlem - fair.

Back to this combo. Forum opinion was 3:1 for silver spokes, and that was the plan. Until I got the call that theres been a bit of miscommunication between my mate & I, and the hubs are 28h, rims are 32h... :D

These are the new rims. Still silver, or black spokes black nipples with this? Im leaning towards black.

You can get the whole adapter set here

Titanium frame, finishing kit TBC, purple chris king bling & black mavic rims.

The question: black or silver spokes?

Very specific, but maybe someones got one knocking about. 34" or more. Some models that fit the bill:

Dell P3424WE
Dell S3422DWG
Dell U3419W
