On my second wheelset from Light Bicycle and not one problem, 1st set was very light 38mm carbon clincher sections with Novetec 10 speed hubs and weight was 1275g, still going strong after 2 years.
2nd set are again 38mm carbon clincher, this time with no braking surface and Novetec 11 speed Disc hub. Rims are a raw UD matt weave and weight is around 1450g

Customer service i have found to be excellent and they bang emails out every day if you wish 😀

Sorry, crap picture, but you get the idea

Doing the full Flanders sportive on the Saturday, does anybody know if we go over to Roubaix on the good Friday, could we get a ride ? or is it just open on the Friday before Paris-Roubaix ?

+1 for AA, Got 3 x named bikes and very happy with quote.

I was in the market for a Colnago C60 Di2 disc, but really couldn’t get my head around that in 2014 the front hydo brake cable is external and tied with a plastic tie wrap, even a Colnago !!
Went and purchased a De Rosa Di2 Hydro instead, pitty i really wanted a Colnago 😕

I handed over £2.50 for the privilege to park on somebody’s drive and a nice 15min walk to the NEC and walked past the queue with folk handing over their £10 to park with a small grin on my face 😀

DeeW – I had the exact same problem, spent far to long trying to sort out ! Changed to a new hanger and perfect in every way.

Derby / Belper No brainer ! Peaks around the corner 😀

Thanks for the recommendation for this APP, Amazing !
Gone off to buy a wireless TV adapter on the strength of it…. 🙂

I regally park with permission in a YHA car park and then contribute to the mountain rescue at their reception.

Every time 🙂

Cheers Joey

That’s me sorted with a new coffee maker 😉

Used this company many times and had a first class experience, delivery is very quick as well.

I always get second hand mowers from eBay like Mountfield or wolf garten, top draw mowers, but last for years.

Even more interesting :

New bike week continues! My not-so-inexpensive chinese carbon build (Album and extensive build information inside) from bicycling

Might give you food for thought ?
I’m considering the same thing, with Di2 as well 😆

I had a faulty front and had it for 18 months, LBS sent it back to Madison and they replaced it free of charge 🙂

+1 for a ghetto !

One hour making one with a old lemonade bottle and bits and bobs found in the shed, been good as gold now with the same ghetto for four years.

@Stox

Big thanks for the link, i have lost no end of street cred in the past with rolled up sandwich bags, that’s me sorted now, Paypal and free P&P 😀

Been with M&S for years and now their policy has changed with bikes i have moved to another company.
Spent all night searching on net, nearly went with DL Select and in the end went for Ensure and put up to 6k on has named bikes, very happy with their price…..

I’m also using Vittoria XG TNT and it’s my second season using them.
No problems what so ever and regularly ride them at 25psi, but only downside is the tyres can be very tight to fit…..

These !

I have brought most high end bibs and i have found my firm favorite without a doubt : Sportful Total Comfort
Currently have a pair for off road, a pair for road and long bibs for the depth’s of winter

Thanks very much for the recommendations, spot on and will try either the Aagrah, which is up the road or if we venture into the centre, will try Punjab.
Lets hope the beer club lives up to it’s great reputation !

Staff seem friendly enough and have masses of space to work with.
One of the best locations for a bike shop in Derby with passing trade and parking and noticed on Wednesday nights they have started a shop ride out.
Yes i wish them well and already have used them …..

Complete Campag here, even the brakes !
Competed in cross competitions most weekends in the last season and never missed a beat

Don’t forget the best cafe in Coniston :

But you will have to earn that stop first 😉

My first cross build for the last race season, already can’t wait for the new season…..

Oh no, surely Dave Hinde is still not in business, is he ?

Yes had dealings with him over some £400 Stans wheels i ordered off his website a few months back. I really do believe he is a common thief !!
He takes our money so quick and really has no intention of sending the goods. There must be hundreds of people that do not peruse in getting their money back and put it down to experience and DH just keeps the money.
In my case, just thank God for Paypal, but without them i wouldn’t have known where to start.

Now don’t start me off with Simply Electronics, another worldwide common thief, Google them and stay away ❗

Give Derby Mercury a shout, they have roller sessions on Wednesdays in their club room.
I’m sure you will get a spin 🙂

Derby Mercury

The best butcher in Derby !!

Had some in last week…..

Mudshark – Does your Roomster hold your bike upright without tilting ?

Thanks for replying folks, at least i know there is types out there that could do the job, off for a little look around now…..

Such a great chain and never bought one from the UK, always got from all corners of the world via eBay, never had a problem …..

Somehow i didn’t think i would see the light again, so if the Midland rep played a small part in anyway, may you have many fantastic, safe rides…..

Bones – 2012 was the worst conditions ever in it’s history to race and this should give you a idea of what to expect 😯

they’re even worse than Dave Hinde

seriously can anybody be as bad as this shop ? 🙄

Is full carbon the issue?

No Oldgit at the moment i’m on light alloy, but they are slowly coming to a end, so just wondered about the tubeless carbon rims, i’m on tubeless for everything now and hey, it’s nice to have a bit of carbon 😆
