PSA – Forks At Ribble For Much Cheapness?

Anyone used one of those droplets before?
Would seem ideal for my son’s bike, but a bit concerned his weight won’t move it!

I was also considering one of the cheap droppers. Does anyone know the length from the bottom of the seatpost collar to the saddle rail?

£42 delivered for those carbon aero bars…….go on then.

Let me know when you want to join me in the slight panic over whether or not your GPS, lights and whatever else you need are going to fit them

Looks like enough width in the middle? Usually they’d put bottom mounts for a GPS otherwise.

Why thankyou.
Those very cheap revs give me the kick I need to build a cheap / fun bike that I don’t need.

Missed out on the Pikes – not that I need any lol
Although for £128 the Revs are a decent buy!
Are the WTB byways worth a punt at £12/each?

I was tempted, but thankfully I don’t think my Ritchey C260 stem would go over them, that and it already makes me itch that the stem and seatpost don’t match, I couldn’t deal with the bars not either.

That’s what I’m pinning my hopes on. Think I’ve found a photo of them actually on a bike, so hopefully all good

Yes!
I’ve tried the Byway and the Horizon and they’re both good tyres.

I did not need to see those carbon road bars. Sorry credit card…

Use Klarna, basically makes it free ;)

Hahaha glad I prompted a glut of unnecessary (strictly necessary of course) aero bar purchasing.

Anyone received anything yet ?. I’ve read somewhere Ribble can be a bit slow in getting orders out.

No sign and still showing processing_promised for me.

Not heard anything either but my money went yesterday.

I’ve gone from ‘processing-promised’ to ‘processing-picking’ on my Shifters.

Thanks! GRX cranks600 cranks for £30, cheaper than new chainrings.

Just had shipping/tracking confirmation email.

Me too! :)

Yes agreed, I wanted the Pikes to replace my (old) Lyriks but I ordered the Revs, even if I don’t use them.

Just taken a punt on £30 GRX chainset, now I guess I’ll have to spend hundreds more on the rest of the groupset to take the Fargo from 3×10 cable discs to 2×11 hydraulic.

Saddle here. 75% off and I don’t have to research new saddles

The old one is on the way out

If anyone missed the cheap Force AXS shifters at Ribble, they’re heavily discounted in the R2-Bike sale.

They’re 120 Euro each including delivery which works out about £105. They’ve not got stock but are saying 8-12 days to deliver.

Parcelforce doing their best to **** this deal up. Out for delivery at 9 this morning, still nothing…

I got a confirmation email, money has been taken but on order on my Ribble account. Web chatted with them and they confirmed order and should ship Monday.

Thanks for the heads-up.

Picked-up a GRX810 crankset, bottom bracket and WTB Byway 650b 47c tyres for a Kona Dew that needs to go on a diet – just the ticket, and at mucho bargainous prices. :)

Well, they’ve arrived, eventually.

packaging somewhat sub optimal…

OEM kit, all in plastic bags, no retail packaging…

Were you expecting any different?

Was expecting OEM, was hoping the box wouldn’t have holes in it…

That looks fairly shit @tomhoward.

Doubt all that damage was caused by courier?

Still waiting for them to send the pikes I ordered. Sat processing_picking since yesterday.

Mine’s in the depot, ‘prepared for delivery’.. I’m not holding my breath for them to turn up on a Saturday but it would be nice to get out for a ride tomorrow.

Am I the only one thinking that revelation is a prime candidate for a coil conversion?

Could have been, the box is loads bigger than what’s inside so wouldnt have been hard to crush, but has also been used before, as it has loads of other labels on it for gatorskins…

Mine arrived yesterday and are spot on although the decals are different to those pictured. Box was also sub optimal but there’s no damage to the fork.

Some good bits on there. I wish I had seen the grx600 double chainset earlier as its out of stock now but the single GRX810 is still available but I’ve got a double set up.

GRX single chain set arrived and fitted.  Mine was well packaged with bubble wrap and decent box. OEM as expected at that price.

Apparently going to ‘try’ and get my order out at some point this week for a chainset

Pikes are back in stock. Just ordered as I missed out earlier.

Those carbon bars…couldn’t resist. Hope they got my stem etc. think my trace r will probably fit – although might need a different mount? Not a clue on my Moon vortex / meteor etc. Doubt my out front garmin mount (boardman branded one that came with a light) will fit but I do have a stem top cap garmin mount sat on my workbench so could always use that. £39 for carbon bars that weigh 190g and have internal routing is ridiculous.

I tried to chase up my order using their online chat – after about an hour I was told they’re experiencing 4-5 day delays.
