Bump for still looking...

Any more info on the deep section rims? Shimano freehub? Carbon/alu? Carbon/a;u brake surface? Cheers!

Still potentially looking for something here if anyone has anything

Thanks, DM'd

Looking for a rear wheel with shimano freehub that has a 50cm carbon faring but an alu braking surface. Anyone got anything?

Eeep, that's a bit sexy. GLWS!

Thanks everyone, I really appreciate it. I'm going to throw the kitchen sink at it with a DIY silicone gasket, heli tape and either hairspray again or I might try liquid chalk instead, I've got some of that somewhere. Although, I don't know if there's a potential implication of something in the liquid chalk permanently binding alu somehow. Might just stick with hairspray.

I'll see how we go tonight.

Thanks again for everyone's input, this is why I love this forum.

So like a sort of silicone gasket that expands in the gap between the wedge and the post when compressed?

With the idea being it's sticky enough not to slide up the post?

@Chaley - Yep, familiar with this approach and it's not working

Hoping someone can help me and avoid me throwing my frame into a lake or killing it with fire.

I bought a BMC SLX01 second-hand on here a while back which features a new and useless take on an old system of securing a seatpost which worked perfectly well. It essentially the same idea as a quill stem, but as it needs to deal with much more load, doesn't stay where it's supposed to. I've tried so much to stop it slipping - torque to settings, torque above settings, carbon paste, hairspray(!). None of which has worked. At best, it'll hold for one ride. It's incredibly frustrating as it's a pretty cool frame and stiff AF, but due to the slippage issue, I now hate it with my whole heart.

My last resort is going to be a bit of innertube and a jubilee clip on the seat post just above where it meets the seat tube. Definitely questionable on a carbon seatpost, but I really don't know what else to do at this point short of getting it at the right height for me and liberally applying epoxy for a 'for-life' fix.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Looking for a kid's mountain bike or similar with a 24inch wheel. Would rather buy something decent 2nd hand, even if it needs fixing up, than some shite with plastic brakes from Halfords.

Let me know if anyone has anything out there!

Cheers

Just messaged about the Altium jacket :-) Consider this a dibs

Hey man! Would love to take the blue one. Will DM you now

Edit - I'm also getting an error when trying to DM you. Any chance of getting your email address or something?

SOLD

Yep, around both days. DM me and we can sort something out

Selling wife’s bike in the pursuit of something more kid seat friendly.

I would describe the overall condition as solid but scratched, having been well maintained but locked up to things with reckless abandon.

Charge Plug, 56 cm c-to-c. Charge Spoon saddle, relatively new Deda bar tape. Headset and bb both smooth with no play. Bombproof Alex rims. 32c tyres with plenty of life, albeit rear schwable has cracks in sidewalk so you may want to replace.

Has a pretty cool green metal flake paint job, but as mentioned above, has been scratched all over the shop.

Based in E11. Dog not included.
