    Don't assume that everyone who has had issues is overtorquing their stems and seatposts. If you store your bike in a garage that is not temperature regulated and it gets cold overnight, don't get thomson. That's my advice. Of course thomson knows about the problem.

    State of the industry: a running thread

    Everything that's wrong with the industry. Over-engineered hubs attempting to solve a non-existent problem just to sell more stuff. Heavier than DT Swiss 350. Cost? £575. For one rear hub. And this young engineer wants this "adopted across the industry".

    eBay scam?

    Trust your gut instincts. It seems buyers are more protected on ebay than sellers these days. You can't even leave negative feedback as a seller anymore! If you have trouble you have forked out a lot of money for shipping. Then you have to reimburse that. If it was a smaller item, fair enough...

    Their seat clamps are alright (good/excellent). That's all I'd buy from them in future.

    Here's my stem. That is a nearly 2" long fatigue crack on the underside of the stem.😲 Luckily I had the bike upside down and noticed it.😳 (it's been in my toolbox for a while, I use it as a type of crown race setter now)

    What's your favourite part or component to buy?

    Maybe this has been discussed before. My 'favourite' components used to be stems and cranks as these can often be quite unique. (but I never generally had more stems or cranks than bikes) But lately I've been buying a lot more cassettes... more than the number of wheels I own. Cassettes and...

    But this is exactly my point. They know they have a seatpost failure problem caused by thermal fatigue cracking. No other seatpost cracks because of that.

    I'm interesting in getting one of these... (new) sjscycles have them but they want £59 to send it to Australia.☹️ I'm only interested in the 13T version, not 12T or 11T.

    Hehehe Yes I have.🤕 Both cracked.☹️ Here, I made a video about it: What can I say? I guess I became a "Clydesdale" type rider without even realising it.😳 But honestly I was not that hard on the equipment. Not even a weekend rider and the stuff broke. I was generally too busy for riding every...

    Opera Leonardo 2003 (i think)

    As I scrolled down, after you said "I'm not a fan of Shimano", and read something about Pinarello pedigree earlier, my mind was fully primed to see something Italian.😃 I was fully expecting to see some Campagnolo bits! And then I looked at the components and saw Sram. I my face was like this: 😐...

    Wanted Risse Champ 20mm axle

    Risse is worse than terrible at email. I ordered something from their shop, a flat crown for marzocchi 888. It never arrived. Because it was never sent. Ended up having to do a chargeback on my debit card.

    Death of the 5 arm 130 bcd triple?
