Hi, long time since I last posted.
I’ve got a 56cm Genesis Equilibrium Disc Frameset for sale.
Bad points: bubbling to paint under chainstays, some surface rust that’s occurred after a chip in the paint I would think. It’s high carbon Reynolds 725. The frame is 4 years old and hasn’t been used for 2 years (kept in spare bedroom - dry). Usual cable rub, chip to rear of fork crown paint. Scuffs inside fork crown from mudguards rubbing.
Good points: no dents. No cracks. Looks good. Mudguards and stem included (if wanted) barrel adjusters on head tube work. Internal cable routing for front brake in fork. Plenty of mount points, all bolts present.

I’ve included a photo of it built up to give you an idea of geometry.

Tyre clearance is max 32c according to spec but there was plenty of room with 32c tyres fitted.

I was looking for £200 advertised elsewhere but would let it go to a forum member for £175.

Thanks!

This is why this thread exists.

As @amey says, I have an equilibrium disc. It's a medium like yours. I'm 6 foot on the nose and it fits perfect for me. A respectable amount of seatpost and I think a 110mm stem. Maybe 120mm. Not sure on your size but if it's similar the medium will be great. I look forward to seeing the progress.

You have to ask them for a cortado and wink at the same time whilst brushing the top of their hand with your index finger.
Alternatively just say you deleted the email, or save the image above and put it on your phone and pretend it's your phone screen. Ha.

Here you go:

The current 25% off code can be yes.

So shimano seem to make everything accept a 140mm 6 bolt rotor... and I ain't buying a cl>6 bolt mounting kit.

Ha. Oops. 160 on the front*. No worries.

I'm running a 140 on the rear and a 160 on the back. Will see what my bank account says and either get some hopes or some ice tech 6 bolt. (Didn't think they did 6 bolt when I previously looked).

Anyone seen these?

The #buyer in me says these must be shite for £4-£6 but how can they be? Just a bit of metal...

So I've just looked at some sram disc brake pads. They're shorter than shimano ones or trp ones. This may explain why my trp spyre is braking on the braking surface and the rotor arms a little. Narrower braking surface? Think I'll replace with some hopes and see how I get on there. Used centrelines to be up for cheap shortly.

They just look broken in to me. How thin is the braking material compared to the rest of it? I've done atleast 5000km on my rotors. Not on mountain roads but still...

More 25% off emails... just make things 25% cheaper and save the emails guys...

Thanks very much. Glad everything went smoothly. Stay toasty

That also makes sense. Would the pad vary in height from one manufacturer to the other? Or is it down to the rotor being thin? I only ask as I would assume overlap would hinder braking performance? Maybe not though. I dunno.

That makes sense. Ta!

So is this wearing too low down on the rotor? If that makes sense?

Might be a weird one...
Wondering if my spyres are biting the rotor too low down. Will update with pic tonight but pads are wearing the tops of the 'spokes' and am unsure if I should whack some washers under the caliper to move it up the rotor a bit? Currently no washers are there and instructions didn't suggest to add any?

Thanks guys!
@S70N3Y yes please. @Dick being a gent has offered to pick it up for me so I'll get cash to him and he can pass it on to you on collection if that's cool with him and yourself.

Yep! Nice one guys! Can I message you in the morning? I'm about to fall asleep... but dibs!

Yeah, Manchester. They had a medium but i need a small it seems. I'll just have to be patient I guess.

Anyone got info on when the insulated gilet might be restocked in the nice colour way (black) in sensible sizes?

Agreed! I was amazed.
What actually happened was I removed the end cap after it failed to tighten. Didn't feel right removing it but then when I looked closely, the entire thread was still threaded on the skewer. I carefully spun it off the skewer and that's what I was left with.

I'm no expert but as mentioned, copper grease seems to be highly recommended on the internet.
It does specify a thin film on the back of the pads. Obviously I'm super careful to apply this without getting it any where else. Earbuds are your friend.

Nope! Just a smooth hole it seems now, from what I can see in the tiny hole.
Probably over tightened them myself but there's only so much torque you can get on the tiny levers...
Dt Swiss responded telling me to call TF Tuned as they deal with uk warranty. I kinda can't be bothered making a fuss.
