This would be a for a good weather road bike, so I'm not worried about dirt, only increased friction due to the extra outer and probably a few more curves if routed internally. Sounds like it's probably not going to be an issue though

There doesn't seem to be a definitive answer to this one! I dropped by my trusted LBS yesterday, and his reply was a definite "full cable outers are better, even over traditional exposed inner cables routed externally, and definitely better than inner cables router internally without outers"

Yes, I'm not daft enough to try mechanical shifting through the bars and stem... Would be exposed cables to the HT or DT then fully internal from there. There seem to be a lot of frames with this arrangement

I think modern outers are less compressible than older types, but even so there might be some difference between them and a fully exposed cable?

Quite a few modern steel/alu/ti frames seem to have internal gear cabling from just behind the head tube to just before the dropout. I imagine this requires a full outer cable all the way from the levers to the mech. Does anyone find this gives any problems, or worse shifting than an almost...

Yes I will be comparing geometry before I get anything. My position was perfect 20 years ago, and while I can still ride the same bikes no problem, I do get the feeling that I could improve on the position, as things have changed over the years (a few extra kilos, less flexibility, definitely...

30mm tyres will be plenty for me! And I am definitely looking for a road frame, possibly more on the endurance side rather than full on pro racing position, no mudguard eyelets, rack bosses, etc.

I don't need disc brakes and have plenty of rim brake parts, so am sticking with them. I have been riding the 00's Time Edge I got a year and a half ago, and it's a great bike but it's not as nice to ride as my 2006 pinarello paris carbon. But I don't think I'm as comfortable on either of them...

I am thinking of getting a new frame built, or maybe buying a used one. Would like it to be as modern as possible, but still as backward compatible as possible, if that makes sense.... So, rim brakes, threaded BB, DT gear lever bosses (not just cable stops), round seatpost, not too worried about...

these are bonkers! just proves yet again that what is new, isn't - although these aren't so much adjustable length as "length all over the place all the time" 🤣 I wonder what they feel like to ride?

Road... That's why it's in the road section 🤣

Thinking about it, isn't UDH only for through axles and discs?

There are modern standards that I need some help with, hoping someone can maybe clear things up! Forks - What's the standard steerer size nowadays? Is 1 1/8" still widely used and available? What about tapered steerers? Mech hangers - i don't really like SRAM, but must admit that the UDH...

If it's just that the slot in the arms is. A little too thin, then some careful filing should let you fit standard pads. Need pics to be sure...

I recently got hold of a perfect condition dura ace CS-7401-8 8 speed cassette, but it's missing one silver spacer ring. the 3.0mm ones. Does anyone have a spare one they don't need? thanks!

Reminds me of these: I don't remember HT cable guides being around in 1990? 126mm didn't last for much longer though

Keep it and sell to me together with the frame, I like this one more than the Columbus one! 😜 🤣:cool:

Dibs! 🤣

WTF!?!?!?!? :eek: I'm guessing it's not UCI legal..... 🤣
