Thanks for all the quick replies. there is a plastic cable stop at the headtube end so wouldn’t be expecting a full run of outer. I think there needs to be some sort of cable stop like the cervelo one.. just need to try and source one!

And if you have to use flat bar shifters go for 4600 tiagra as the 4700 is a different pull ratio than all other shimano stuff.

I recently used 10 speed xt shifters with a 105 triple road . They are different pull ratios but when installing the cable into the FD you have to install it looser to compensate for the pull ratio difference.

Would shimano sora Flat bar shifters not do the job.. they also do a brake lever for rim brake or cable pull discs. I just built up a planet x pro carbon flat bar using tiagra 4703 shifters and levers on rim brakes and didn’t have any problems.

As above, dunkeld has some good stuff. If you fancied something a bit longer one day, glen tilt is good.

Thanks for speedy replies! not really wanting to spend loads as won’t be using it that often.. @tjagain, many thanks for the offer but im in greece at the moment so unfortunately not near you.I noticed this one which seems quite adjustable.. any thoughts?

Thanks for replies. tried several different things at the same time so not sure which one solved the problem!  i wasn’t using a genuine sram bleed kit so the hose connection’s on the syringe’s weren’t the best – i had to cable tie them to stop fluid leaking!  Also, i had the pad contact dial rotated the wrong way.. All sorted now and finally got a brake that works.

thanks

Not got the bleeding edge fitment.. there probably 2015 RSC”s. .

As above – Achnashellach decent is outstanding..

Out in the grand massif doing my 2nd season. Awesome conditions!

Or I have seen this.. everything I need and an sad. . Bit heavier than the the vostro or lenovo though.

Look at this on eBay http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/152823910169

@jeffl, yes all seller refurbished units from fleabay. Majority with 30-60 rtb for ‘some’ peace of mind. Got the impression lenovos were better than hp/Dell etc, so maybe not chojin. Need to buy one today as I’m leaving the country for winter next week.. like the look of the vostro, so might plump for that.

Loads of lever pull..its biting almost instantly.

Used a bleed block between pistons and the pistons were replaced as well so not seized. The brakes work fine but there either on or off..

OK.. many thanks.

I had a bleed block in.. Shall I just open the bleed screw on the lever?

freeride morocco.. 🙂

Thanks for replies folks – seems the brand x gets great reviews and its easy to service, might even take a punt on one of these myself as i’ve got a reverb that’s constantly giving me problems! cheers

Hi.. thanks for reply – after some more searching it does look like they are the same as chainring bolts. ive managed to track them down..

cheers

Thanks for replies folks. didn’t buy new so no receipt unfortunately. I think i’ll buy the kit and try and fix myself – just wasn’t sure how hard/easy it was. i had loked at the instructions on the sram site.. looks a bit dawnting but i’ll give it a go.

cheers

Anyone?

Tried madison they pointed me in the direction of wheelsmfg. Can’t get a hold of a digital caliper unfortunately as I’m in an island in Greece. . Cheers folks

[*]As I don’t have a lot of time I ended up getting a Francis Francis Y3 for illy pods. Got one 1/2 price and I like illy.. so jobs a good’un!

Anyone?

As above- bike love are good..

Great- I’m stuck in the dark ages!

All my contacts are on my English sim and I’ll be using what’s app will my English number.. 😕

Yip im fairly positive you need a 1.85mm spacer and the supplied 1mm.. just fitted a 10 speed cassette to an 11 speed hub..

Have a look at hunt- great wheels for the money. £39 over your budget but worth it i reckon..

HUNT 4 Season Aero Wheelset

As above- paisley freight, used them on several occasions to do the same..

The greek island of rhodes. usually about 20 degrees midday.. there is a chill in the air in the morning and its cool at night. Road cycling is awesome! The pic below was yesterday..

Cant beat a bit of ben klock.. love this boiler room set!

@sprootlet – I am indeed.. how long will you be out there for?

@sprootlet.. I’m working as a transfer driver. Dec-apr, either staying in samoens or les carroz .

Im off out to work in the grand massif for the season so hopefully should get some time on the hills! 😀

Go onto eBay and buy one of torchy’s chargers..

@pacerc100.. I just sold my phase 2 gtt. Had it 20 years but would rather have seen someone restore it than it just sitting rotting away. Hopefully he’ll make a good job of it!

I’d buy impact shorts and wrist guards as many have said, you’ll fall quite a lot and you don’t want to break/bruise anything. 🙂
