It's not much to look at, but I'm quite excited about my Works 1.5° angle headset.

Will this be an easy way for frame manufacturers to get out of a warranty claim ?🤔

Doesn't really matter in my case. It's a 5 year old frame and I'm the second owner...

Unless you way over fork your bike, I can't see this being a problem re warranty.

A Rook saddle - love my Brooks cambium but it wears out my shorts and bibs 

Was hoping it would be more brown like on their website  less this colour - anyway I’ll test it - way cheaper than bib replacement

What bar tape is that ?
Now for some brown sidewall tyres...

What Brooks saddle were you using ?

the bar tape is Brooks and its ruined me for life - everything else is rubbish now, even the really good stuff.

I was using the Cambium C17 - apparently the wrong size for me but my bum would disagree.  The fabric rubs through my boardshorts and bibs.  I'd like a leather one but I want a used one.

A hard no on the tanwalls for me 🤣

On the right bike they look great - I have a lot of bling going on so black calms it all down a bit

ordered tan walls, plaid shirt, beard and gravel bike on the same day 18 months ago

Beard still hasn't sprouted and the tanwalls are in transit to Cape Town

Cambium or normal leather tape? How did you manage with your walmer bars. I also have walmers on mine and the need for longer rolls of tape is annoying. Still running the curve tape but they have a small rip in them😭

leather tape, it fitted fine but its getting a bit manky after 18 months of fatboy sweat - I need more but not easy to get

[The Ouzo]

Now that its officially mine I can boast.

Got this from a fellow hubber, he was kind enough to let me try it out for a bit before making a decision.

Its taken a bit of fine tuning but I'm finally comfy on it. Although have not done anything longer than an hour yet.

[Me rida my bicycle]

Treated my old girl to some new bits.

She is a real soldier, never complaining and minimum running cost. 

New brake levers, rotors and dropper lever. (Most of these did not need replacing but when has that ever stopped us 😁) 

Playing with the idea of a SID 35 120MM and maybe carbon rims, I'm just worried it will spoil the ride.

Check with Woodstock Cycle Works if they have leather bartape. Niels had some made up and when I was there last (pre-pandemic I must admit) he still had a few rolls. If not, there is a leather shop right next door (Velobrien, talk to Gareth) and they can make whatever you want. They are also particularly good at refurbshing and re-covering saddles with leather.

I'm not much of a gravel bike fanboy, but jeez that's a lovely looking machine.
