    Self-energising chainset🤣

    I'd be interested to know where this rideable-when-seated 45% slope is? I see this model of rotor crank fairly regularly, if they were any good then they would still be making them but rotor dropped them in favour of their Q rings, I wonder why? There have been other products that claim to be...

    Sealant for tub punctures.

    Effeto Mariposa sealant works very well. I only added a few ml once I got a puncture, but it sealed up fine straight away. You can add as a prevention too.

    I really like my veloflex pave tubs! Schwalbe used to make some good ones too, not sure if they still do

    I quite like that! Can you measure from collar to the base down the middle of the back?

    Interesting frame design. Price to be negotiated

    What's with all the guides on the side of the downtube? For full outer cable gears? It looks nice, but price says 12k ????? That's a lot to pay to go slowly (fred pace!)

    New bike - would you choose disc or rim brake ?

    So, i started this thread and then disappeared from it! I live in Spain, and do see a lot more disc bikes now but that's probably because it's all you can get nowadays if buying new...

    The chainset on Millar's bike looks more like the 8 speed C record model than the 9 / 10 speed record version that would fit the rest of the group?

    Nortel.le SLX retro-mod

    I like what you've done with it! Great frame and it rides really well :) Just one mistake though - it's not Basque but Valencian! Nortel.le actually started up again a couple of years ago, only painting (and maybe some repairs, not sure on that). That have an Instagram page, and do very nice work!

    The grim sound of carbon road bikes

    My carbon bike isn't noisy, especially with tub wheels. It's nearly 20 years old so none of the "improvements" of modern bikes. But on the odd occasion I get out on my 653 Caygill, the complete silence always comes as a pleasant surprise!
