    So, I've ordered a bunch of mechanical Shimano gear from Ali, usually from Delic Bike Store, and so far has really good results. Has anyone ordered Shimano brakes, like M7100, M8100 or M8120? They're basically a full set for a price of a single end locally, so I'm considering taking the...

    Sold Hope Pro4 hubset boost 32h silver 6 bolts

    Cheers mate. Sorry to say, I found a set with microspline for about the same, saves me a freehub swap over. Good luck with the sale though!

    Sold Curve GMX+ Steel -Large (Frame+carbon fork+headset)

    Phew! It's not an XM size! These have been on my radar for a while now, such a tidy frame. But Out of interest,do you know the weight of the frame / fork?

    Yeah, I've got a one bike that still has an original X01 Eagle cassette (10-50t) and while they used to be worth the price for longevity, not so much any more. 12sp Shimano Cassettes are super cheap comparably, even cheaper on Ali, and even factoring in the hub driver change, you're still ahead...

    Insta tells me the 1299 cassette is in stock if anyone needs one.

    Nah, I don't think so. I've been to their wheel building warehouse / workshop, and seen the bits of grey import stuff. I honestly reckon just a case of bad website setup.

    Yep, the go to Delic Bike Store has a full Deore set for about 120 or so, or about 90 with a 4100 series derailleur...

    It'll be interesting to see how the chain & cassette go, decent deal on the shifter & derailleur though.

    My guess is that with the new website, "stock levels" weren't actually a thing considered, so the brakes were probably oversold a few times before they realised, now they're chasing to get the stock for you. Especially at the price, they would have sold fairly quickly.

    Definitely grey imports, but they've never been shy of telling their customers that. I've had a few mates buy things from them, and the promise of support is always there.

    Bargain buys thread

    Well, not quite a bargain buy, but according to them it is! Had to chuckle and I figured here is the best place to post it: So I'm gathering they mean World Cup quality bearings at higher prices?

    And yet, I wonder if they're still using the "Slipfit" linkages... I've got 2 friends who have current mdoel Switchblades with this "Feature"... Shitty tolerances dressed up as a feature. Literally the bearings can just fricken drop out, and it's a "feature to promote correct alignment when...

    Because the Newscorp papers told they wanted it, therefore they did.

    Thank you. I needed that. Even though it did get me caught browsing RB at work due to some very loud chuckles! Especially this one:

    Ah, obviously I've had one too many knocks to the head, combined with trying to find this while actually working ;) Cheers, thanks for the heads up on the quick access context menu for "this thread". That shouldhelp me find what I was after.

    Search within thread

    Hi All, I was wondering if the system has the ability to allow searching within a thread? I've had a decent look around the functions but can't seem to see anything that allows it. If it is possible, that would be a fantastic addition to search specifics within some of the mega threads we have...

    Confessions from the fuckwits

    True, very true. Maybe Poods was suggesting Deep Heat wasn't enough for his nipples? Ah, unless he's not talking about his own nipples, and he subjected his significant other to the nipple warming, which if done unitentionally could cause some grief.
