if it's up to me, i would look into a almost new second hand/demo bike at around 2k then get some long lasting (read disc brake) wheels like Enve, zipp, campag bora etc for about 2-2.5k. then the rest goes into clothing/kit or anything peronalised items like stem/saddle/handlebar.

merlin cycle is doing 25mm GP5000 non-tubeless for 29.99 each.

i shortened my journey these days, just dont want to get exposed to the cold too much. i now ride to train station and use that then ride to office (5-10mins each leg). train station is otherwise 25 minutes walk or bus but im cheapskate and want to ride abit every day. So this hybrid journey...

For those who's looking for new toys, planet x is offering FSA K-Force carbon drop bar for 55. only avaliable in 40/42 and green and red tho. Also there is a Nano version which drops the weigth further but that's more expensive at 90. i went with the 55 version because i dont think the extra...

depends on if you can be bothered with building a bike from grounds up. Merlin has an Argon 18 E-117 frameset for £13xx. should be enough for planet X disc and 3-spoke then some cheaper 105 bits. I built mine recently, cost abit more because i went with integrated front and 1x Sram etap 11...

we have 3 735XT in this household. all i can say is it's has been pretty good. battery life is quite long (i charge 1-2 times a week), lightweight, no non-sense approach (comforable strap, easy to replace). the only downside is that i mainly swim in breast stoke and the GPS signal is not strong...

this is where i asked about the 3-spoke wheel: https://weightweenies.starbike.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=113&t=157584&p=1501038&hilit=hambini+spoke&sid=7c3e2f77cb92778f33f9a4267380ada9#p1501038 his reply: im interested in more in-depth explanation as most 3-spoke wheels are 60-80mm depth...

i think that's how he started off. I remember coming across his earlier videos and he started off this custom/bespoke bottom bracket business because his Cervelo was no good. to certain extend, that's what we are seeing. Look at hambini's wheel testing blog entry. the 60mm CXR are challenging...

hambini (youtuber) recently did a video on this. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dkAxXNYzBGg but be advised his language is abit rough/extreme.

that's correct, the receipt came with the wheels had Chicken Cycle on it.

by the way chaps, veloflex just launched a new design for their clincher range. a lot of clearance sale on older models at the moment. just ordered 4 25mm off ebay for 98 euro inc shipping.

saw this earlier this year, crackign deal but when i click on the link again, there's a contender: https://www.rutlandcycling.com/bikes/road-bikes/specialized-tarmac-sl6-sport-disc-2019-carbon-road-bike_461559 in this case, i will probably pick the tarmac instead. but ...just all talk, not in...

https://www.hambini.com/blog/post/bicycle-wheel-aerodynamics-which-one-is-fastest/ depends on what yuo plan to do with the wheels. if it is it pure race wheel then may even go with Planet X tri-spoke with Disc wheel...

i would look for soemthing like Mavic CXR 60mm clincher with coated alloy brake track. i picked a pair up for 700 not so long ago. or just get a front wheel then get a RON Disc, again, adds up to about 750.

i dont think the hydraulic hoses are included in the shiftrs/calipers any more.

i was replacing 36 with 34 on mine, so the bolts already have some threadlock on it, i didnt use extra grease when i did the replacements.

Yes. i have the other way round, R9100 inner ring on a R8000 Crank. also 9000 on 6800 crank. They are fine wheels. i was at dualthlon on Sunday. there are so many pairs i lost count. 50s and 80s. i was using them too. The GP5000 23mm fit them rather well. i came 8th in the bike leg out of a...

Yes, they are massive, haha, but I wrote to Reynolds and they dont recommend go any narrower than 28mm (we had some 25mm Schwalbe Pro One previously when she was still using MTB wheels on that bike) She has been using the A1r for her triathlon so far, so we have one of those Supacaz saddle...

i used to ride in the dark with just back light and accept my eyes can adjust quick enough, but since i start commuting in London, my route includes a series of quick succession of totally unlit then super brightly lit sections. i tried Cateye 100lm but it wasn't quite enough, now i use a 200lm...
