Nice. I got that feeling from googling some research, but that’s encouraging to hear.

If all goes to shit will order Force X1.

Did 250k last week, mixed surfaces as did not come out of the 32 ring. So decided to ditch the compact and fit a single chainring. This will give a 40-32 and if too much will put a 36 on the back

40T SpideRing with X - Sync

Remove extraneous stuff. Should be fine for gravel riding and cross. If chain tension is an issue with a non clutch rear mech I can modify a XT clutch mech or get a catcher (eurgh)

Will get paddle removed from front left lever.

Shame, is a lovely looking tyre

Nope, Shimano.

Hi I tried to search for comments around this, but has anyone had any experience with Challenge Paris-Roubaix 27mm tyres? I heard they were puncturetastic, but look sweet AF.

Also have converted the cross bike to X1. Did a bunch of research if anyone is interested in going that way.

Am at the cafe at the top of Box Hill as I type this. Is a bit grubby.

Will do half the ride with you guys tomorrow then leave you at Box Hill and go back to Sussex

That bike is too flash for me. Perfect for Vedran tho.

I did the Ride100 fixed, and two centuries at the Tour of Wessex.

So thats four. And the Kentagon was 155k. So nearly five.

Yeah I get that but this:

Appreciated your patience.

I had drunk 1 1/3 bottles of Sauvignon Blanc and smoked 5 cigarettes the night before. Also the week before I had rode a century in -1.

Other irrelevant excuses are available on request

You simply cannot put Shimano on a C60. Even Bobbie would give you a pass on that one.

I miss those days, apart from being a massive twat on the forum. We had a decent weekend roster, bants was off da hook, and @NickTheHorn was at his most sublime.

Those rides did me well for Flanders, lovely bit of winter training.

Yeah was I think an early 2013 Saturday in Kent. Was baltic. I had a tantrum. In those days half of us ran Campag. Damo was riding the tank bike. I remember the day we met, @biarittz, in Cadence. You were still turning a pedal for the Rollaz

I remember Bobbie wearing marigolds and silver foil as his bionic hand failed.

Was cold tho. Pretty sure he was running Campag with a rotor crankset

Lol Bobbie went full Simple Jack.

oof. I worked for Richard Rogers for 2 years and the amount of left handed sociopaths was startling.

Bobbie you seem to know a lot about retards.

Will get the cheaper non tubeless then, thanks.

Poor Jason. It is hard to be a first adopter. However that is the pain of being a leader and not a follower

Am trying to decide whether to get the Tubeless Shwalbe G One 35mm or the non.

The non tubeless is £26.99
The Tubeless compatible is £41.99

I have tubeless wheels and the valves etc, would get the shop to fit. It seems like most of the people espousing the virtues are shop people and would inevitably make money by setting it up correctly for you. I don't really see the point, however the idea of virtually zero punctures is a doozy.

Is there a thread for tubeless discussion on these boards?

Am hopefully joining this one on the cross bike. Trying to do 100k on the Saturday so may have sore bits.

Amazingly last week was my first ever use of Shimano. It’s amazing, considering it was 105. I can’t imagine how good mechanical DA is.
