Eh? C1's + a £400 crank based equivalent works out £130-£280 more expensive than a single set of a dual sided pedal based PM :confused: even more for a single sided pedal system...

I'm optimistic the accuracy & consistency is acceptable. Even if it weren't accurate but consistent you'd only need to know how far adrift is is and compensate for ePeen, if that way inclined, and weight management :cool: For the saving it's an acceptable compromise, if it comes to that, in my eyes, which it probably won't :p

Sorry to confuse you buddy! I was trying to say initially spending ~£600 (which I doubt I can get a 'refund' for now!) followed by ~£400 doesn't work out *that* much more expensive than the P1's would've been originally. Certainly if I factored in the loss of selling the used C1 now (to then buy P1's) the overall costs would probably be similar. If the C1 was worth loads more it might be worth doing it, my other thought is slightly immoral - I've got open dialogue with Powertap as I've been experiencing cadence 'spikes' over various different firmwares. It doesn't really cause me an issue but I'm getting the impression from Powertap that it's a sensor fault, rather than anything software. I don't know if I could get Wiggle to accept the C1 back as 'faulty' (with evidence from Powertap) for a full refund as it's only 8 months old. I'd probably feel too guilty as I know the cadence fault doesn't really cause me a problem, just screws my data.

Hi guys, can anyone tell me what bb this is? im looking to get an adapter so i can buy a 105 groupset for my classic bike. Would a normal hollow tec screw straight into that?

Hard to see but looks like screw threaded, probably 'English' (depending on frame!). There's lots of adaptors for them if it's a standard width. Will need a little more research than my limited knowledge from a picture which is hard to make much out from though! :)

Nah, same colours but orange a bit less bright and it defo had the brand of the bike in orange and the rest was blue. I'm stumped lol was nice anyway!

@Roady I was going to get a new endurace, but I can have a bit more creative freedom this way. Tempted to get a custom paint job done on it. Anyone know anyone good I could ship it to? What would be the cost for a frame paint?
 
Anybody got a clever way to tidy up Di2/EPS junction boxes so it doesn't have rubber straps on my stem? Adhesive strip to stem? I see you can get 3D printed mounts that replace a 5mm spacer but I don't think it'd work for my set up which will eventually be a slammed -20deg stem.

@randomshenans All this effort for a turbo trainer bike?:p

With di2 you can wire the junction box up under the seat post, if you're smart with the wiring. No experience of EPS though.

EDIT: beaten!

OT: anyone messed around with waxed chains as opposed to oil based lube?

'Creative freedom' and you're worried about cost & finding someone to do it for you?! Get yer crayons out and paint it yerself! ;)

In fact, inspired by @Shamrock's beauty in pink, I've just knocked up a design around the "Baked not Bought" theme :p

Now to see if someone can do it for me!
