    I have Spyres on my CX commuter and Shimano hydros on my gravel bike. Happy with both, but I drew from the STW collective knowledge when setting them up (like only using compressionless outers with mechanical, or using mtb hoses with Shimano hydros).
    The Spyres get used daily, I have yet to find them a fault (occasionally adjusting for pad wear is hardly a problem).

    Is it the GripLock type?
    Then you can take it apart and reassemble:

    The GripLock is shipped pre-assembled. If it has been disassembled, fit assembly together as shown in diagram. Follow the procedure below.
    1.Place thin bearing ring O-ring into outer groove of bearing ring.
    2.Place split ring into bearing ring.
    3.Snap the bearing ring and split ring into the GripLock cap.
    4.Feed cap O-ring into the groove created by the assembled parts.

    The Enigma Ecroix is very similar to the Sabbath September AR-1 (disc, clearance for 35c, mudguard and rack eyelets). There is also the Enigma Etape Disc with clearance for 28c and mudguards, and Enigma offer additional services in-house(bike fitting, finishes[/url]).

    I wonder when the 820 will be released.

    It’s coming. Reportedly, adverts for the Edge 820 were released by error and pulled down shortly after. Only a few screen grabs remain; to be taken with a grain of salt.

    I’m sure I can come up with some historical, esthetic, journalistic, rational (stiffness/weight) or pragmatical (availability/price) reasons I have carbon forks, but it’s just what I use.

    Now, how about Ti vs carbon seatpins in a Ti frame?

    I enjoy the building part, I certainly wouldn’t want to pay extra money for being denied the pleasure.

    ^This +1
    Every few years, I build my main bike from parts myself. I’m actually in the middle of a build right now.
    The “other” bike however, I usually buy off the peg (then compulsively upgrade).

    Was it the plastic version? I heard it was quite a common complaint…
    Won’t DT sort you out directly?

    I have been using Paceline’s Chamois Butt’r for ever. I have yet to find a reason to try something else.

    I was under the impression that any shifters (except, of course, the 7970 ones) can be used as long as the front and rear mechs are matched (either both 10 speed or both 11 speed). The mechs define whether it’s 10 or 11 speed. Source[/url]

    In a workplace HnS setting you see this mistake all the time – people get fixated on the catastrophic things that are very, very unlikely to happen, and meanwhile lots of work time (and money) is lost through injury caused by people tripping over loose carpet or stray wires, lifting boxes badly etc.

    I guess this is what they call a black swan.

    I think that whether to wear a helmet or not is not a straightforward decision.

    Someone said that it’s always safer to wear a helmet than not to wear one. This guy made a career explaining how, because of the risk compensation effect (people adjusting their behavior in response to the perceived level of risk) benefits of seat belts were neutralised by more risky behaviour of drivers. I think there is more than just anecdotal evidence that this effect applies to cyclists as well.

    Just to add a different option, I found the Cycraguard Road to work pretty well for a frame without mudguard mounts and 35c tyres.

    Sorry for being pedantic, but what was the verdict on the Enigma Ecroix?
