PM’d for the Contis

Jfc okay I solved it - the culprit was the rim tape. Who knew that some tape that’s less than 1mm thick could cause such a problem? Time to just replace it with some electrical tape and call it a day - if I get a flat, it is what it is. Thanks for your help friends.

Ah that’s helpful, thank you. I did wonder considering the hubs look slightly different, and the rear wheel has a logo stamp above the valve hole whereas the front does not.

Unfortunately not. Just came off an eBay bike, so clearly had tyres on recently, but the guy who sold me then didn’t seem at all bike-savvy. I’ve asked which tyres he took off them, but no reply as yet

On my way to get a tape measure now. I’ve fitted plenty of tyres to tough rims, but these have busted 2 hefty tyre levers, and caused hours of insane frustration. As you can see on the front wheel, I have only half of the tyre on the front wheel, and cannot pull it off even after an hour of wrestling with it today. I’m totally baffled

Hey folks

Just got a set of Zipp wheels online, but no tyres seem to fit. I tried a 25mm tubeless compatible tyre, but it didn’t go on, and I just assumed it was the modern profile which wasn’t working. Went back and got a 23mm gatorskin, but that won’t go on either, even without a tube.

Is there any chance that Zipp made these in 700b or some other slightly odd (larger) size? Seems crazy to me but they’re destickered so I have no idea which year these are from.

I would assume they are 404s as the rims measure 58mm deep x 19mm wide, but I can’t wrap my head around why normal 700c tyres won’t go on. So far I’ve shattered 2 beefy tyre levers just getting one side of one tyre onto the rim, and it’s now so tight that I can’t get a lever under it and will probably have to cut it off.

They’re 10 speed shimano (red freehub) with a 58mm carbon rim, alloy brake track, and Zipp hubs. Any help is appreciated. I really hope I’m just being super dumb. Thanks!

For sale is my Felt TK2 track bike in size XL. It is completely stock spec, other than the Hed Disc on the rear wheel, which is clincher and has been converted to track with a Surly Fixxer. Pictured Spinergy is not included and will have the original Felt TK front wheel installed. The bike will come with both the original drop bars, and my Easton carbon wide bars. Look X-track pedals also included.

Everything is in good working order, but I would point out that the saddle is cracking and has seen better days, and the headset is a little stiff, but these have been reflected in the price. Comes with a brand new 105 front brake and Dia Compe Tech 77 lever installed, but these haven’t been cabled up or ever used.

Collection from Maida Vale, W9, bank transfer on collection is preferred. Selling due to emergency expenses, photos will be available upon request. £595 ONO

Hey, not sure why it didn’t reply to you, but photos are up :)

More photos. Obviously ignore the nasty chain, it’s had a summer sat outside, hence needing a proper clean and service, bike is in great shape otherwise though :)

yes, the photo is just a bit old. New chain, and brake pads will be fitted before sale, as well as it having a proper service :)

Nice little single speed bike which I built up, only for it to go unused.

Frame is a Visp 790 with alloy fork, both of which are sprayed matte black, with deda decals added by a previous owner (removable).

Ritchey stem, unbranded alloy seatpost, wheels are the stock ones from my Felt TK2, which are light and spin beautifully. Unsure of chainset brand, but it’s currently got a 46t ring on, with an 18t dicta freewheel. Bike comes as pictured.

The good: lightweight (will weigh and update), stiff, great city/commuter bike

The bad + ugly: headset is a little bit grindy - it’s usable and absolutely fine to ride, but I would recommend changing that out at your convenience. Brake levers are also a little crappy, and though they work fine, I would probably replace them too. Everything else is absolutely tip-top.

Yeah absolutely, too many supports needed for the arches, and if one of those prints fails on you, that’s a lot of wasted filament

This was my fear. I’m using a Creality CR-10 so I’d likely have the same problem

There’s no harm in me taking a look at the files, I’ve got nothing else to do in lockdown, maybe some 3D printing will help pass the time

That might require some support and rotating the model to get it to print correctly, but I also don’t mind downloading the file to have a look at how it would need to be printed

Yes, those. I could do a test print this evening and see how they come out?

I already looked to see if I could find the files, they’re available freely on thingiverse, so I’ll have a look at the model later on, but it should be super simple

Hi, just came across this by chance. I could have shot at printing some if you’re still in need?
