    just a quick (prob silly) question for you ss cx chaps. ive currently got a compact chainset on my crosscheck and its a 5 arm compact 110bcd. looking on edinburgh bike shop site they have atb pattern 5 arm middle 38t ring that will fit wont it ?

    oh and what do you run ss 38/16 ?

    check the bcd/pcd-the distance between bolts, generally road wont work with mtb and vice versa

    for my ultegra chainset its 130bcd

    have a look at sheldon brown's website for more info or email the shop with your model number to double check

    ive got 42:16 but going to get a 39t chainring to help spin through mud and for proper hills

    think should be ok but maybe give them a ring to double check, ask once an idiot once, never ask then an idiot forver apparently

    yeah will be 39:16 on the freewheel side once i change it

    cool! interesting cable routing

    It's a right pain finding non-aero brake levers these days, but they give a better curve to the cable and smoother release for canti brakes.

    I figure I'll never be fast enough to benefit from the aerodynamic qualities of aero brake levers 🙂

    I can only assume epicyclo is referring to the ti pompino that I posted to the group. I only had it as a brief taster to see what it was like compared to a standard steel pompino because I'd ridden about amillion miles ona normal one.

    **** brilliant was my judgement on it. I loved my pompino but that Ti thing went downhill like it had a rocket on the back!!!

    I think they only made one, and your pic looks very much like it was when I bought it.

    Definitely a brilliant bike. Less of a rocket downhill with me on it though 🙂

    Shame they didn't make general production, because it has to be the perfect do it all bike.
