This has started me thinking... If I put 105 5800 compact on my (square taper) Synapse, I could put its Sora 3500 triple on one of these. I'd need some finishing kit - but I've already a spare saddle, handlebars, pedals lying around - and a wheelset. Presumably it's a disk only frame and my winter R501s wouldn't fit? Otherwise I could upgrade my road bike and get a winter/gravé bike for not much more. Hmmm...Frameset takes full guards & rack, with carbon fork is in clearance at £150 (silver/blue only),

No more rim cleaning and such a versatile machine.Sold my Racing 5s + GP4000s' covering virtually all the cost of a set of 29er wheels, discs and a lightly used set of Road BB7s with the proceeds
I seem to remember he got into a huge fracas on the winter tyre thread last year, and it lasted for weeks and weeks as he chased Yokohama for a problem he was having with the handling of his BMW on one of their winter tyres. It could have resulted in a ban I suppose.
Anyway, I recently bought 2 of these for commuting when it gets stormy in the afternoons.

I also bought a Rockshox Monarch RT3 for my proper bike.

BTW what happened to the OP Vladimir? He was always on these sports/fitness threads?
weird - his profile's actually been deleted, rather than banned (I'm a mod and can see that), so I wonder if he requested for it to happen.Normally when banned, i can still see the history, who did it etc.
Have been toying with the idea of some new wheels for a while, partly because I fancy some lightweight bling, and partly because I'm on the wear marks of my current Xero Maraviloso, so have today ordered these Mavic R-Sys SLRs
Have also been struggling up hills on a 39-27 for a while, so got a Shimano 105 5800 compact crankset earlier in the week. Have gone from 172.5-175 which feels great, and the black goes better with the frame than the previous silver (Ultegra 6600), but after a short ride last night thinking I should have gone semi-compact. At least the rings are all interchangable.

being a tight saddo, i just bought one of the aldi bike stands.
i've used expensive ones in the past, but this seems sturdy and strong.
this guy likes his, being tight i paid less that he did

it dealt with the proflex happily.
the orange should be easy for it.

Did you buy it at Aldi or order it? It would be good if it didn't need to be ordered!i've used expensive ones in the past, but this seems sturdy and strong.
