Had mine for over a year now and have got on well with it. I managed to completely right off the front wheel but that was my fault rather than an issue with the wheels. The annodizing is holding up well with only a few minor rubs here and there. It’s

I’ve ridden in The Lakes and lots in The Dark Peak and It has always felt steady and composed + it’s reasonably light so good for the climbs. A good solid all rounder that’s value for money.

If you get one be careful with Canyon’s online size calculator. It recommended me a medium and that would’ve been far too small. If in doubt give the UK customer service centre a bell.

I much prefer compact bars and find that I spend much longer in the drops than a traditional bend. They also look better imo.

The CF Canyon does look nice, although bit dissapointed they’ve not made it a bit slacker.

I would’ve won, but I was watching repeats of Poirot that day.

Along with the Hope pedals too

Van Garderen looked strong and did the same thing to Evans at one stage.

Everyone seems to think that if froome rode away from wiggo yesterday he would have won the tour

Reality in my opinion is that he would have blown it wide open for nibali as wiggo hadnt recovered and froome was up and down on form like a yo yo all day

+1

It’s a team effort. Every modern winner of the tour needs their team to work for them. I still think Wiggo is the better all round rider and represents Sky’s best chance of GC. Froome is a good few minutes behind Wiggo, as has already been said, the only thing he would’ve succeeded in doing by going alone is allowing Nibali the opportunity to gain time.

OP looks cool and assured. Born in the wrong era my friend, all these 12% body fat people will be in danger if they get ill.

@lowey…that’s some ride.

Dammit foiled at stage 1 of my macabre scheme.

Ullock Pike is the best descent in England IMO.

Cheers Willard, I’m sure I’ll find something on the Heinnie Hayes site. I want a Hattori just because it sounds cool but they aren’t cheap.

Haha Phil, Mick Dundee reminds me of my Mrs cousin in New Zealand. He’s hunted boar with just a knife.

Luvle luvle…reminded me of Julie Goodyear. Chamonix looks amazing.

I’m also looking for a NN alternative as mine are on their last legs. I want a good all round UST tyre for Peaks, Lakes, Trail centre type stuff. Was thinking of a larger volume up front, something like a Hans Dampf or Rubber Queen and something faster rolling out back.

Edit: What are Mountain Kings like? They’re going cheap on CRC at the moment and I’ve got a voucher burning a hole in my inbox.

What did you use to cut the hose? I’ve got park cable cutters and was wondering if they’d get a clean cut.

Try to resolve informally by politely introducing yourself and mentioning it, chances are he might not be aware the noise is causing a nuisance. If the noise continues report it to your local council.

Are all Rubber Queens tubeless?

I ordered a Reverb from them and it came about a week later. Only paid £190 – well chuffed.

Where are you going to ride?

I got my cashback on Monday. Sent a scanned copy of the receipt along with an uploaded photo of an old speedo I found on Google images.

Top! Cheers.

crashtestmonkey – do you reckon it’s a fundamental design flaw with the hubs that can’t be resolved in the future?

#indignantmiddleclassbicyclepartpostagerage…

Haha, I’m really not indignant, just mildly irritated, so in retrospect I guess it wasn’t really worth posting about. I kind of expected a to get some stick because I’ve often thought what’s the point when reading these threads.

People who are saying I deserve no sympathy for leaving it to the last minute, I can’t really disagree, but CRC offer a next day service so I – perhaps naively – thought it would be here within 2. I did ring around local bike shops and they were all out of stock unfortunately.

I still think I’ve received bad service, but agree I’m not going to achieve anything whining on a forum about it, lesson learned I guess.

As for the middle class thing…I wish 🙂

Ffs, the courier making an arse of things is hardly CRC’s fault is it?

True, but they didn’t dispatch them until Thursday, which is the day they were supposed to arrive.

I’ve tried to use CRC’s next day delivery three times now. They have a 100% failure rate. Impressive stuff

I think I may have been better off just selecting free delivery.

EDIT

Just drive to the top and ride down 😀

I did that in Kefalonia (Mount Ainos 1628m) and it was awesome.

I’ve ordered 2 Stem bolts.

I waiting to see of they arrive in a cardboard box about 300 x thier size, but may be less aggrevated if I recieve some free High five Gels to pad out the empty space.

The downer about that is that the postman can’t put it through the door so you have to go and pick up from the Post Office on Saturday and stand next to that old woman with all the cats who stinks of pi$$.

Phones are good but you don’t always get signal on your phone, no signal no map?

They don’t use the phone/Internet signal. I use CoPilot and it’s never let me down. It includes speed camera alerts and Uk & Ireland maps.

Wheels have been sent to the incorrect delivery depot, meaning I won’t have them in time for my camping trip to The Lakes, so no riding for me.

Paid £10 for next day delivery on Weds…cheers CRC.

I’m camping in The Lakes this weekend. I’m also taking a few mates who’ve never been camping before, told them it’s always sunnier in The Lakes

I’ll be in this, while they slum it in tents 😀

It’s a cult the same as any other religion.

Is there any chance that if Easton re-design the hub and iron out the issues for their 2012 iteration, that they would upgrade/swap hubs for faulty 2011 version? Grasping at straws 😀

I’ve just bought a pair of Havens from CRC, I’m aware of the rear hub issues but for some reason I’ve stupidly convinced myself I’ll be one of the lucky ones. Hopefully I won’t have to, but I’ll report back on any issues I encounter.

I’ve still got time to change my mind, but they look so nice and promise so much.
