Same dilemma for me.
I phoned Fairlight and they say 45s will fit the Strael.
Obviously I called after I'd bought a set of the 37mm ones...

Apologies if this has been answered before (couldn't find anything when I searched), but has anyone had experience of using a fork crown mount with a bigger rechargeable type light? Looking to use one of the GoPro adapters on my Lezyne MegaDrive and stick it above the front wheel.
I guess it'll be a bit annoying having to unbolt to charge, but does anyone know if there are any things to watch out for? Will the light be too heavy?
Just trying to clear some room on the handlebars.

I'm looking for cages for a Strael

(if they don't keep putting the due date back 😟)

Is there a forum approved model?

Does anyone know what these cages are? (King Cage?)

Ta!

This is the kind of self-help chat I need!
I went through exactly the same buyers remorse after pushing go on a Strael.
I came to the conclusion that it will work for 90%+ of my riding and will be my only road bike.
Also, the fancy plum-coloured paint has a better chance of staying in good nick if only used on the road?

Are all of the Secan posts because they are the ones being shipped and built at the moment?

Hadn’t even considered the blue. There’s definitely a mental block on me stretching to a Chris King headset. Somehow the extra £70 seems a step too far!

I've just pulled the money gun trigger on a Strael in the fancy purple.
Has anyone seen one in the flesh?
If so, what headset and seatclamp colours do you reckon best suit?
Was thinking about silver or even orange but may well be better placed to stick with black. Hard to tell without seeing it in real life.

I've got a set of not used very much Kojaks from my Brompton if you're interested.
They're all black though- not gumwalls.

I'm also based in Bristol

Dibs shifters/ group (depending on pics and price)

Bit of (lot of) a dredge, but did these sell?

Dibs the non-Campag Eastons, if you can post please!

It is. Apparently it will do a 34 tooth at the rear with the derailleur. Feels like there's a bit of drag and some noise from the chain, which I figured was because it was too short. And the rear derailleur is pretty stretched out there.

Nothing's on fire yet...
Yeah, was using big-big to illustrate the derailleur at maximum stretch.

It split into 5 parts. The main hook section, two washer/spacers and washers with a flange. I think I initially put them back together the wrong way in that picture. Have swapped the flanged/shouldered washers round. Think I've cracked it now.
What's the worst that could happen...

From gears to brakes... This block that retains the brake cable in the lever. The ends are loose and kind of pop off. Is that right? Is it fixable, or am I better off binning it off?
It's an old 6600 (?) Ultegra

Quick question (I suspect that I know the answer deep down).

Is this chain too short?

Derailleur capacity question. I've got a road link extender thingy I use on a bodgy 1x10 set-up at the moment.
I now want to add an Ultegra double chainset. Will the capacity of the 6700 ss rear derailleur be able to handle a 12-34 cassette with 50-34 on the front?
According to Shimano it's max capacity is 33t. I calculate the set-up being 38t. I know Shimano are often conservative on this stuff, but am I wasting my time before even giving it a whirl?

I’m trying make life a bit easier on my knees and am thinking about adding some more gears onto my bike using the odds and sods in the parts bin.

I’m currently using a set of 600 cranks with a narrow-wide chainring.
I’ve discovered an Ultegra 6700 fd. Does anyone know whether I could use the fd with the 600cranks (obviously once I’ve got the two chainrings on there as well)?

Thanks

Thanks for the info. Have taken a punt on an m5 twin pack.
Hopefully it'll get me better than the current 2meg download in the kitchen!

Interested in anyone's experience of the TP-Link Deco mesh units. Do I need to splash the cash on the M9 (as the TP Link website seems to suggest) or can I get away with the M4?
I'm using the internets for wfh and normal stuff (Teams calls are probably the most intensive thing I use it for).
Any experience/advice gratefully received.

All gone now.

Yep. PM me address etc.

Thanks

All gone now.

House moving clear out continues.

I’ve got three handlebars to get shot of. Would rather they got used so thought I’d offer them here.

Old (2010 ish) Brompton M type handlebar
NS Evidence Plus- cut to 56 cm wide
Random set of 25.4mm riser bars.

All free

Need to be gone this weekend though.
