Boast about your latest purchases here...

If you have the height in the van try do something that lets you keep the wheels on. Save masses of time and don't then have to anchor the wheels for transit.

 

Not too fussed about time... besides it can't be that much different unclamping a front axle, rmoving bike, ataching front wheel. If anything it's quicker than removing wheel straps, undoing frame clamp, then removing bike. No clamp arm on the frame is also a plus (paintwork wise).

 

As for height, that I have. It's length that is an issue (200mm too short on my longest bike). I can get the bikes in with wheels on, but it means putting them at an angle, or turning the bars.

 

But yeah... still devising a plan that works best. For now, I have 2 in, wheels on. Standing uprights, strapped like MX bikes

These ones - quiet as a mouse.

 

The trizoids though, those sound sublime. More like I9 / CK than hope, a much more "smooth" tick tick tick but still loud. That's 'cos they have 120 contact points rather than hope's 60 / 80. Effectively more facets for the contacts to spring off of.

 

If you wanna hear them, listen to a CK rear. VERY similar.

 

Wish my budget had extended to the trizoids...

 

Also got me some Trizoids. Love the sound. Can't wait to build them up.

If you have access to machining and fabricating facilities and don't mind getting your hands dirty, i might be able to help you out with a drawing of some parts to build your own.

You can pick up the pro Elite for 3k Locally.

Bridge Cycles has one in stock. Was there yesterday.

Paid for this a while back and waited a long time, if one had to pay on delivery, it would have been a latests purchase.

 

Received my Valve Audio Genesis pre-amp over the weekend.

Stunning.. My dad is an audiophile, he would definitely appreciate this.

It is a amp of sorts right? before I make a total ass of myself.
