Just to throw my two pence in here – I bought a flat 2.5 years ago and had an existing Vodafone internet contract. They couldn’t get access to the room in the block to connect us (due to incompetence with the council – who knew?). Vodafone ended up paying me to terminate the contract.

Knowing we wouldn’t be able to get access to the room to connect wired internet, we were left with the relatively new option of 5G home internet from Three. We signed up for a 2-year contract, with the first six months at half price. We could cancel after three months if we weren’t happy. It seemed like a good deal. The download speeds were terrific, but the upload speeds weren’t as impressive.

Six months rolled by, and the internet was stable and felt good. Then, on day one of month seven, Netflix started pausing and buffering. The box began playing up, as though it was losing signal. I checked for any news about masts, thinking perhaps they were doing maintenance. I also tested my mobile phone (also with Three), and it seemed fine – fast and stable. In the end, I resorted to hotspotting off my mobile phone (on the same network!) just to hold a stable MS Teams call.

That’s when a Community Fibre flyer came through the door. I sent them an email and set up an account. A technician arrived the next day and neatly ran a fibre optic cable from my front door to the middle of my flat. He plugged in the Linksys Wi-Fi 6E router and fibre box. We were up and running immediately, pulling and uploading at 500 Mb/s – a very happy customer.

Since then, I’ve referred a neighbour to Community Fibre, and we both received a £100 Amazon gift card – not bad! However, I’ve noticed their customer service leaves something to be desired. I understand they’re connected to the government in some way, so I don’t expect much after my experiences with the council…

Incidentally, here’s a speed test from just a few seconds ago:

Thanks! Im not sure if you can see this? https://www.strava.com/activities/13116204486

These were our mile markers to keep a rough estimate on timing, we were keeping at 14.2mph minimum speed to hit these. We did have a slight tail wind on the day which made a difference. I would recomend the route as it avoided most big towns and felt a good amount of 'aventure cycling in the countryside'

Bump - 160

Used the wheelbox i had to send another set. So looking to sell these locally (south London) if possible!

Admitedly, this was on Satruday just gone.

Train to Bristol on Friday. Night full of carb loading followed by steam room and sauna (not sure it helped digestion)

Woke up at 5:45 - departed from Knowel by 6:30
Gear cable disintergrated just outside Marlborough, which incedently turns out there's a very well stocked bike shop on route in the town. Restocked with a Mocca and a bite to eat.

Had a pit stop in a pub in Farncombe, then onto climb Box Hill under the rising moon.

Hey, those look great! Unfortunatly manchester is a bit out of reach for such a big item. Will bear you in mind for picture frames in the future.

Hi, this could actually be really helpful! Got the same floor, but some of the blocks need replacing. I’ll drop you a dm

I have a dining table top I would like to replace, if I got some measurements to you would this be something you could make?

Could potentially collect if not too far from South London.

Sunday Bump - 165?

Ok, im ideally looking for 11 speed with the 1by. Thanks for the offer though @hanuman GLWS!

Found a decent nick Cross King I can throw in for free?

Thanks @hanuman

What sort of cost are you looking for for the 1x10?

I imagine the XT callipers are not flat mount? I’m looking for flat mount.

No worries, Cheers

Hi @broken_777 I know it's a slim chance, but is this still avaliable? Check your DMs.

Thanks, I appreciate the feedback.

To be honest, these need to go, so I’m open to sensible offers. That said, I guess I’m a bit sentimental about them—they were the first brand-new wheelset I could afford. They were fast on the road and tough enough to handle heart-stopping “MTB gravel,” the kind where everyone else is on a proper mountain bike, and you’re just hoping to make it out alive.

The decal stickers are easily replaceable or removable, which can give the wheelset a fresh look, if that’s your thing.

For context, you can pick up a new(er) pair on eBay for 195 + postage.

Anyone interested at 170?

Price drop

Rapha - 50
