Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

Thanks. I think organic is the way I'll go, and see how long they last.

Morning all :-) Quick question: I was servicing the freehub on a pair of Mavic Aksiums yesterday and managed to stretch one of the pawl springs, it was a bit sticky in its recess and thus the damage. Does anyone have a source for these? It seems you have to buy a complete pawl set and I only need one spring ..... the pawls themselves are fine :-)

Nobody knows then :-)

Okay, here's an easier question, anyone got any opinions on this angry little bike?



BMC Roadmachine Three Ultegra Di2 Disc 2024 54cm. Full Ultegra Di2 12-speed groupset with climbing shifters, Hunt Aerodynamicist 44 carbon wheelset with Pirelli Cinturato 28mm tubeless tyres fitted. Look Carbon Keo pedals.

Opinons - positive or negative - welcomed.

That is a V nice bike, I presume it's for sale ?

one point to make, you'll never get any sort of mudguard on it & Di 2 is lush till the battery flakes out

NE, you're first query was well beyond my capabilities.

The bike looks like a mean machine, suspect it's out of my budget range, if it is for sale. very nice.

No worries Lammo 🙂

It's a very mean machine and yes, it's for sale. I've been tempted by capricious minxes like this before, especially wearing black 🖤

NE, I think I've got the same frame but in a different build.

Mine is the Roadmachine X One, which is the 1* build with Sram Force XPLR AXS, and with their in-house carbon wheels

It's my first decent bike, so feels fantastic, but not really got much to compare with.

That one is a far nicer colour, mine is a ice blue, which wouldn't have been my first choice but there was 2 grand off !!
