    Autumn tour

    That is why my Grasshopper has Tannus. You don't have to live in Ely. What about Barking, which is not very far from the Isle of Dogs? And Pease Pottage. And Warninglid.

    New S40

    If you get a complete bike you can ride it immediately. You can get new components slowly, but it is a hassle having a shed full of stuff you do not want and putting it on ebay. I ordered a 2020 S40 frame and it came really quickly. Cruzbike get their stuff out of the door. The components...

    2020 S40 neon green build - My second Cruzbike

    Truck or postman? Aeroplane actually. All the way from Australia. I managed to nab the last Microline crankset in the universe from an Australian shop. There are some on ebay but they are square taper. The only other one is in the hands of the thieves. @Frito Bandito is right.

    Sounds absolutely horrid. I am glad that my problem is in my lungs and not my sinuses.

    Claire Smith, doing ultra Triathlons with a bent

    Recruiting someone for that? And you call them a friend? And @M.J is right. Recumbents are for the Paralympics

    Definetely a coffee read... updating the motor

    You cannot relieve the symptoms of COPD. My watts are gone and I am never getting them back. I climb slowly. That is why I like low gears. I hate spinning out. Seems like such a waste of a descent. That is why I like high gears.

    They stole my Silvio

    When I got the Grasshopper I fitted heel-clips to the pedals. I found some bits of scrap metal in my shed. I screwed the heel-clips to these and screwed them to the pedals. The heel-clips were in exactly the right place for my mid-foot placement. When I got the Silvio I did it again. After...

    12/13 speed systems aero

    My Grasshopper spoke to @DavidCH. It never says anything to me. I hope @jond is enjoying my unscheduled bike-building.

    They stole my Silvio

    Three varieties of tooth, actually. Wolf say that if you have a HG+ chain (which I do) then you need the HG+ variety of tooth, and nothing else will work. Abso Black say this also. Problem: all the HG+ rings are direct-mount. Somebody on the internet says that any W/N ring will work. I have...

    They stole my Silvio

    When I got XX1 there was only one design specification. So I just looked for a chainring and a 11sp chain. Now Wolf sell two different varieties of tooth, Dropstop A and Dropstop B. I suppose Raceface's and Absolute Black's are also different. Do any of them work better or worse with any...

    They stole my Silvio

    I want disk brakes therefore that White discovered by @Frito Bandito is no good for me. But it is another example of what I was saying before. It has Microspline driver body. No XX1, even in Japan. So I decided to go for Microspline. Got hubs. Got the cog. Could not believe the amount of...

    They stole my Silvio

    Frame arrived. In the end I decided to order rr481 rims. Cannot get any kind of rear hub with Sram driver body anywhere. I telephoned the bloke who imports White Industries into the UK and he said I could have one in July. So I got Hope RS4 Microspline and a 12sp 10-51 Shimano cassette.

    They stole my Silvio

    Do 650b rims with an outer rim width of 28mms fit the 2020 S40 frame? Are they too wide? If so, I will not buy them. I do not usually believe in the wisdom of crowds, but the Tribe is a very wise crowd.
