If you're set on commuting with tubs I'd go conti gatorskin or schwalbe durano. There's no tough tan wall commuting tubs out there afaik.
Corsa SC are fast race tyres, lovely but they won't last long commuting. -
its been this way for a while. looks like aliums and the old xc2/4/roc have been discontinued and replaced with square bar versions (check the time website) but not available anywhere yet.
-
Lovely. Are those Scott drop-in bars? Cool!!

I do a similar thing with a synology nas and a regular home router, streams fine to airport express.
-
So you're just changing the location of your music files from SD card to a nas? As long as the nas is mounted on your Mac you can just point iTunes to your music library on it, the rest of your setup doesn't change.

This thread is great! 5* and top lolz

perfect. Although gumwalls would be cool, maybe different cages if you're being picky.

that rossin is so cash. I'll take it in 6 months :)

Dibs the new 31.6

I've just got a 2nd gen moto g and while its a great phone its certainly not small. 5" screen I think. I'd prefer smaller but it was cheap and dual Sim.

old nad + airport express?
Yep. Separate the streaming thing from the amp, as the streaming gubbins will change over time, decent amps will last ages.
a couple of long minijack -> rca cables might even be better. Wireless still kind of sucks. -
surround is silly imo in standard residential settings. sell all your surround crap and buy better 2-channel.
I've recently bought a FiiO X1 after being pissed off at the crappy music players on phones (iphones are ok, android and windows SUCK)
It's great. interfaces and stuff aren't super slick, kind of chinese and beta-feeling functional, but works really well with isyncer to move music onto it, and sounds brilliant. Recommend, and pretty good value if you've already got SD cards kicking round. -
I got an m-part 1" exapnder from ribble a few months ago.

These are deltas not keos fyi.

Because you're worth it

what's the current skinny on ATACs? I've bent an axle on my ROC/Xs and notice they have been discontinued, likely cos the axles are made out of playdoh/I put out an un-managable number of watts.
looks like the alium and ROCs have been replaced with cheaper versions of the square bar ones, but can't see them available anywhere yet. Commuting in keos is getting kind of boring. -
this is easy stuff. I use an ancient mac mini with itunes, a NAS and USB dac attached to my main stereo. Control is by phone or ipad ('remote' app) and have extended it into the kitchen with an airport express. Basically a cheap sonos, but no high rez support or anything fancy.
I still buy cds and rip them,as I find a better selection of music still on hard copy and I just like buying cds and vinyl. If there was a product that could provide additional streaming functionality using my existing kit I'd be very interested. -
Also Phil wood cogs on cycroc hubs is a no-go. The hub's theaded section is too wide/phil cog too narrow, so there's exposed thread when the cog is on all the way, the lockring up full doesn't touch the cog. EAI works just fine.

finally got my 'winter' training fixed built now summer's here. It's a sonic cycles track frame with a nice high BB.
went a bit nuts from alexscycle for the drivetrain, boxfresh 75s and cycroc hubs on TB14s. columbus 1" carbon fork is lovely, and it's completely silent except for the rattling of the cable stop holder in the LH brake lever. rides brilliantly. Might get a red paintjob in the future as I'm not a big fan of the black but not necessary atm.

solid advice here, apart from the bit about the train. Avoid avoid, it's really crap and slow.
hire or buy a car and drive yourself, bus/train etc are really limited and you miss a lot of the good bits.
