Yes, these are still available but first dibs rn to @v11boy

ah yes indeed, on my Isen (which lives in FR-CH these days).

Didn't realise Matt et al offered a mudguard light mount. will check this out (@coldharbour....).

thanks!

Thanks, all. Will keep considering and report back.

@Thrasher disc brakes, innit. and the mudguard mounting bolt on the fork (Columbus) is at the rear, so not forward facing...

@PhilDAS Supernova is one brand that looks promising, thanks.

@timmah! Unfortunately my current job does not come with a bike friendly machine tooling and fab workshop in the basement....

@LWaB Mudguards are pretty solid all (Radial) with a short reach forward from the fork, so it is quite rigid.

I am struggling to find what I want - which is a battery powered LED front light which can be mudguard mounted.

20-40 lux ideally, mostly 'to be seen by' but also 'some help on unlit bike paths this winter'. I'd prefer rechargeable Li-ion but AAA batteries would be OK.

Just like the picture! I can find examples a plenty for e-bikes or dynamo powered...but not battery. Spanninga, Busch & Müller, etc - no luck.

Any of you got a suggestion?

OK original post edited: UPS 3 day signed service to mainland UK = £25

Shipping - let me post here, later, with a UPS quote.

Weight limit - not sure, I’m afraid. If you are 90kg+ I’d say ‘not for you, don’t’…but that sure ain’t formal advice. FWIW, I am 68kg

exactly, my offer has regular hooked bead rims ('non tubeless') and will not work/seal for tubeless

you're over thinking this. Stans is just decent thin and strong rim tape as far as I am concerned. Thinner and more robust than the 80s style fabric tape, more elegant than electrical tape

This is a great and superlight road/climbing wheelset, just surplus to my needs.
Both rims good and true.
Nice U shaped profile, but not too bulgy.
Braking surfaces are good and braking is a good standard (I have found Reynolds Cryopower blocks to be the best).
Bitex stock bearings upgraded to Enduro Abec 4.
Stans yellow tape installed.
Not tubeless ready, no QR skewers or cassette included!
Included: a pair of 25mm Schwalbe Pro One TT tyres, with very limited (<100k) road use

Front: Radial 20H, CX Rays. Internal width = 16mm, external width = 23mm. Depth = 25mm. 100mm QR. Weight 580g

Rear 24H, CX Rays, Campag ceramic freehub* Internal width = 16mm, external width = 23mm. Depth = 40mm. 130mm QR. Weight (no cassette) 720g *Easy to swap – see https://bitexhubs.co.uk/product/bitex-freehub-body-48pt/

Wheels are in Copenhagen but am happy to post by UPS in a dedicated cardboard wheel box with spacers and packing, etc. UPS 3 day service to the UK mainland will be £25

Also happy to supply more photos.

OK I have made one purchase from @cmyj but am still interested in a second handset if there are any around....

Yes that's a big BUUUUUT (esp. as the user will be a teenage daughter)...I'll pass (thanks tho)

Still looking! Anyone out there now with phone available?

Not bothered about camera or storage - just:
a) unlocked
b) screen without any cracks
c) decent battery
d) able to take latest iOS 15.

Please DM me with anything you have! I'd ask for postage to OX33. Don't need any cables, covers or headphones. Just fresh and wiped handsets, unlocked.

thanks, Jon

Just bought a fixed & tubular wheelset off @bkromann - well packed, safely delivered (all within Denmark!). Tak for hjulene!

https://blog.3t.bike/2020/06/14545/gravel-tire-dimensions-explained/

Yes, agreed - in fairness to Matt.
My first gen Isen has had some annoyances but in general it rides wonderfully. I’ve racked up 10,000k on it!

As a road cruising machine with 28mm rubber it is smooth and fast. With guards, I ride it all winter on the road.

I find it just fine for my gravel riding (Danish forests, mostly hard pack fire road type surfaces) with 33s.

My chain stay clearance is such that it will just take a Challenge Grifo 33, but can’t accommodate a Challenge Chicane 33.

Here it is this evening in gravel mode.

The All Season frames are QR rear rather than thru axle and that sure doesn’t help either

Yep. Familiar story - dimples seem all wrong. As a result, my All Season (from the initial batch) can barely manage most 33s on 700c (currently running Challenge Grifo 33 rear). 42? No chance at all.

Unlike @d0cA - my cap order to Denmark was not marked down by Milltag to swerve any charges
Unlike @atz - I wasn't prepared to pay double VAT and a comedy processing charge. I don't want to pay £50 for a cap.

So after a little back and forth, Pete @ Milltag has refunded me my £18, which I have just donated to the forum instead.

I'd rather have had the cap, but hey ho. I'm glad I don't operate a UK small business trying to sell to Europe, having to deal with Brexit induced idiocy for such a simple and small sale.

I have emailed Milltag directly today to ask about dispatch dates.

I haven't heard a peep since I ordered a cap on 02/11/20.

I did all of 2017 and 2020 on my Isen, yes. It is absolutely perfect for steady long distance cruising - super smooth and comfortable @coldharbour

2019 was fully fixed on my Burls (it was colder here in DK, with ice and salty roads => titanium and fixed gear)

I'm done. Six rides, plenty of variety. Around northern Sjælland (I'm in Copenhagen). No snow or ice but standard DK winter: 2-3°, thin cold rain, grey grey grey.

Who else has the hump cos there are no IRL woven badges on offer this time? I have a collection of five, wanted another!

I have other anecdote about cracked Kinesis Ti frames. I'm not the only one.

I believe Justin Burls outsources his production (via his Russian partner) to a small Russian team (ex aerospace, or was it submarine). Anyway, mine has proved more robust than a Taiwanese factory job from Kinesis!

At least the home refurb allows you a decent inspection of the frame. This is what I found on my GFTi v1 in spring 2017 (2013 frameset).....it's the underside of the chain stay bridge area....

Kinesis at least replaced the frameset without quibble. By contrast, I have a similar vintage Burls Ti frameset. That's still going well and managed the Paris-Roubaix parcours three times!

Bit late to this. As an adult back in Oxford, the 2010s were noticeable for the sudden appearance of false widows (Steatoda) - both in the garden, and the allotment - sheds, and fences. Both nobilis and grossa. They often looked pretty scary!
