Will get more info and prices up later in the week but fed up at looking at these bikes hanging around the shop so time to go.

Looks are 55 top tube and 6/10 condition. £130 each

Specialised is 57 TT, 7/10 condition and pretty much full Dura ace. £380

Open to questions and price suggestions. Bikes are in Northern Ireland. Happy to ship to UK only for £19.

You've also got to hold the frame still otherwise you are simply losing all that energy. On particularly difficult ones I prop the bike on the floor using sand bags to support the frame and absorb the shock.

Still sitting in London unbuilt. Damn pandemic.

Now that I see the geometry it once again looks appealing. Need to do some measuring.

You have mail. Provisional dibs pending photos.

Getting a lot of these through the shop at the minute and find the front shift is impossible to get perfect. Has anyone ever found the geometry of certain frames or the angle of the cable just doesn't allow for a perfect shift?

Also the integrated brakes on these bikes only have a 2 years life span. Hate seeing these bikes come in.

I've had cold hands for years. Throw in some ulnar nerve damage from riding too much and working too hard really limits the blood flow in my hands. Finally had enough this winter and went for a pair of black diamond punisher winter gloves. They are climbing gloves and my train of thought was if someone can operate a carabiner using them at 4000m in the howling wind and sub zero temperatures then they are worth a try.

Rave reviews and all climbing forums and they have solved all my problems. Just in from a late, soggy, freezing 90 minutes in the first and hands are dry and toasty. Sizing is also accurate. £60 on amazon was the best price I found.

@BlackMath large, 57cm.

How much is this Parlee z5 SLI worth?

Does it shift into them when in the big ring?

Thanks. Almost a 'matching' pair now. Will go nicely with this.

You could try a firmware update. All you need is your charger and a laptop. Download the etube app and plug the bike in. Easier to do with phone and bluetooth widget if you have it.

Also try double tapping the junction box button to ensure the bike is in the correct mode. 1 flash manual, 2 flash semi syncro, flash syncro. Could be doing something weird there.

Also try with the mech and chain removed from the bike to see if it does 10 shifts.

And don't take yourself too seriously or it quickly stops being fn and becomes a chore.

Reverse periodisation. Hard, horrible type 2 turbo fun when the weather is shite in winter. Long, sunny sausage rolled filled rides in Spring to build in some conditioning for bike position. Throw in a bit of gym and stretching.

Dibs. PM incoming

So I have the opportunity to have a custom stand fabricated for a new shop I am opening in Northern Ireland.

I really like how solid the Kestral stands are but I also prefer the Feedback style pro clamps with quick release. Finally I'm going to be get the stand to doing like the double sided park tool ones.

Final touches will be tool trays, power point and little handy hooks.

Anyone else got any feedback or nice little tips towards what I should do.

Di2 compatible with some drilling?

Link not working.

Anyone got any help on this. Really struggling.

Thanks. Yes they are brutal. One of the hardest places in the world to ride.

Got my first win on the board today at the Team Joe Barr 200 miler in Northern Ireland.

Some might say not quite ultracycling but 10 hours flat out is hard enough.

Can’t find replacement barbs and olives for the above brakes. Anyone got any suggested sites or anything else I could use.

Sustrans will cover the work I do unless you know something I should have that I don’t?

I've been approached by Sustrans NI to deliver some Doctor Bike and also maintenance courses. They seem to have a decent budget and I'd like a little advice on an hourly rate they'd be prepared to pay to get this done. Anyone have any experience for pricing these?
