Great, Thanks

Ok, bit of a dredge, but what would be the #testerapproved headset for a Boardman Road Sport? Which I believe came with an FSA No10 semi-integrated headset - so same again or is there a better one?

Cheers!

Great, thanks. Although when I search for 5/32" bearings all I see is grade 100 - will these do?

Can anyone advise on loose ball bearings. I am looking for 5/32 for a headset service but not sure which grade to get (does it matter)? Also, where is a good place to get loose ball bearings?

I have a 4700 braze on version

Edit: ignore me, I don't sorry

Hi, has anyone got a 48t track chainring in 144bcd. Not looking for top quality, just something to try as I experiment with gearing, so anything cheap but still with some life left would be ideal. Thanks

After a set of foldable rollers, any condition considered.

Live in west London and work in central, so happy to collect.

Thanks

I have a v.good condition CS-HG50 11-28

Ideally I want it with the chainrings. But thanks anyway

As per title, but does anyone have a 105 r7000 or 5800 crankset they are looking to sell?

Has to be 172.5mm crank length and with 53/39 chainrings (with some life left in them).

Thanks

EDIT: updated to include 5800

Great, thanks. Reassuring to know I won't die a fiery death by continuing to ride it

Ok, so what you’re saying is the Corima doesn’t have a tensioned skin? Have I got that right?

Did it not get worse? I have a fear that the crack will creep every time it gets ridden

Can anyone give me a bit of advice - I came off my bike during a race last year and ended up with a small crack and dent in my rear Corima disc. It is about the length of a finger nail. Would it be dangerous to ride (ie. a complete write-off) or can it be repaired? A quick google brings up a couple of threads on slowtwitch that say cracks/dents like this on a disc wheel is nothing to worry about.

Ok, thanks. I just wanted to check here in case someone had previous experience with them indoors.

I was always going to rub them down and clean them with white vinegar. But, yeah I think ultimately it would be best for peace of mind to contact LVV again and double check.

I've just bought a new Dolan Pre Cursa (stock build) and it comes with Conti Ultra Sports. I know they are a pretty cheap road tyre, but my question is will these be fine at LVV or is it best I change them to a better tyre?

I have emailed LVV and they just replied by attaching their gear spec sheet which just states:
Tyres/tubulars must be in good condition
Tyres/tubulars must be 21-25mm wide
Tyres/tubulars must not have coloured tread
Tyres/tubulars must be cleaned before entering the track
Michelin tyres/tubulars or other silica/dual compounds are not permitted

Hi all, looking for a bike bag to transport my track bike on the train to LV for SQTs and races. Does anyone have one they are looking to get rid of? Doesn't have to be in top condition (hoping for really cheap) as long as it is still functional. Happy to collect from west London/Farringdon area if it helps. Cheers

Bag still available or did it go on eBay?

Ah yes, I thought there are some other makes of hubs like the Novatecs. Thanks. BTW, no danger of me going bling - just looking for a decent and functional pair of track wheels that won't break the bank and wondering aloud whether building my own could work.

Thanks, good to know there is another route to go down if sourcing and building my own becomes a bit too much effort

Ok, thanks. I'll check out what are recommended rims over in the orient express thread. DT Swiss hubs sound nice, but isn't there a decent forum recommended version like Novatecs or something?

Question for any experienced wheel-builder out there.

I am looking into getting a carbon tubular track wheelset. Would it be cost-effective to build my own (say with reputable Chinese rims) or is it cheaper to buy an off the peg set?

Hello

I am looking to sell on my Fuji Aloha 1.1 TT frameset (after upgrading to a carbon one) along with the Oval concepts base bars and extensions (not pictured), front and rear caliper brakes (stock no-name) and Oval Concepts 520 crankset with TA Specialites 53/39 chainrings (which I added and have lots of life left). Bottom bracket is a Praxis M24, which I installed, and only getting about one racing season.

It is an 56cm aluminium frameset (and 130mm stem) with carbon forks and seatpost. It has some scratches and chips and a bit of tyre rub on the frame, not unexpected for its age. It was perhaps a touch too small for me (I am 193cm), hence another reason for selling. Most of the gunk you see on the chainrings and chainstays is actually wax from the chain. And the armrests are 3T but as you can see the fabric is lifting from the foam, but can be easily replaced or repaired.

Looking for £200 ono. Collection from Ickenham, UB10

Thanks! I think I have seen Pro4 Endurances on Decathlon for £50 a pair
