Whip works best if you pronounce it like Stuey from Family Guy. They can't work out if you're taking the piss or just an imbecile*. *50/50 to be fair. :)

I have a mate who's into those things. Horrible, undamped, flexy pieces of shit. With looks even a mother questions. He's broken two of them and still sings their praises. Brainwashed I tell thee! 😂

I can think of 2 things I've made money on, a Ringlé bottle cage, I don't like them, put it up 99p start it went for £45ish and an Orange E3, same 99p start, went nuts unexpectedly at the end £275. Other than that I've routinely lost money. Doesn't really matter, I look at it similarly to my...

I'm sure most of us have sold stuff in the past, only to find you could have done with it a while later, then found that a direct replacement is going to cost more than you got for it. I think this is probably subconsciously my main reason for hanging onto stuff. Rightly or wrongly. 😁 I know...

Yeah, me too, it's long since got out of hand. I've gone off Ebay. Stuff doesn't go on here unless it's rare, super cheap or often both. Marketplace brings out the chancers. I decided to keep an eye on wanted adverts on here but it seems no one wants what I have or it's little bits that I end up...

Let's sling a Bontrager in again Benjabbi's Bontrager Race Lite Build thread

Always forget about this thread. 😕 Dusted this old girl off this morning and been for a bimble down the lakes and along the river. Headwind home was nasty but as always good to be out. The sun even appeared briefly. 👍 😁 Scared (more the other way round to be honest) a Red Kite, who dropped...

😍 One of these is at the very top of my unicorn list. Unfortunately, wallet says no so that's where it will stay. 😕 GLWS. 👍 😁

Have a word with @danson67 he's swapped a few Rockshox press in steerers for me, all of which are going strong, creak free, after a few years of use. I don't know if the same is possible with Pace but it's worth asking. :)

For all we actually know, the universe could be an experiment in a tank on the corner of some higher beings desk. God is a research scientist called Pete and our 14 billion years started a week last Tuesday in his world. At some point he'll notice that something's gone wrong with one of the...

That temptation to get some little white C stickers made is incredibly hard to ignore. 😁

I'm not a huge fan either, I rebuild more of those due to broken hubs/corroded nipples/split rims than anything else. They're pretty good with it, providing the parts under warranty and paying for the labour but still it's brought on a dislike for them. Certainly wouldn't buy them despite the...

To be fair most of the old style stuff is still produced in some form or another, just no longer mainstream or mid level, so not as readily available.

"Hello Mr Alien, pleasure to meet you" "What was that? You want to see what you can learn from us?" "Err... Ok... Here's a book: The Industrial Revolution - How to feck up a planet in 2 measly centuries" "You're welcome" "Sorry, I didn't catch that, did you say "assume the position?"

My best shifting set up by far is 12 speed XTR shifter/mech/chain/cassette, full length SP-41 housing and a Dura-Ace polymer coated cable. Ok, the cable itself is only part of the equation but I think it's safe to say, whatever your set up and routing, don't skimp on the inner cable. You can...

If it's aliens then I predict the swift invention, followed closely by a worldwide shortage, of the lockable butt plug.

Tends to work fine until the chain wears a bit, then you'll need a tensioner anyway. 👍 😁

Quite a few of the semi internal routed (not through bar/stem/headset) bikes I've worked on don't have full length outer, outer weighs more than bare cable and we can't have that can we. There's stops in the holes in the frame and a guide at the BB like normal, just inside. Making a simple job...

Reminds me of the Sram T-type launch. Because everyone stops at least once a ride to jump up and down on their rear mech. 😁
