    Decisions/decisions Boardman 9.8 disc or Synapse

    I know these are both ludicrously expensive. Wheelbase have the Synapse Hi Mod etap red at a reduced price https://www.wheelbase.co.uk/product/road-bikes/cannondale-synapse-hi-mod-disc-red-etap-2019-19cdalesynapsehmetap/ Which seems a comparable spec and price to the Boardman SLR 9.8 disc...

    Surprised my hybrid disc bike has same width rear end as road bike.

    When I say width I am referring to the distance between mounting points. I was measuring the width of my hybrid rear end in readyness for getting a rack. I was surprised that it is about the same as my Triban road bike. In fact the rear end of the Triban is a bit wider by 18mm. I see racks...

    The bike from Halfords was cheap £175, however it did what I wanted, to get out with camera so exercise and ability to stop anywhere to take pictures.

    Disc brake calipers- standard fitting?

    I am looking to replace my brake calipers on my Caadx. They are promax disc calipers (160/140). Having difficulty finding replacements but have seen several generic calipers. Is there a standard fit? My current brakes are 2 bolt, so would generic 2 bolt calipers fit?

    Disc Brake (Specialized Ruby / Roubaix) and Turbo Trainers

    My wife got a new Specialized Ruby disc brake bike in November that has a 142mm thru axle.

    Replacing Disc Pads on mechanical brakes (BB5 style)

    Got some Promax mechanical disc brakes on my Caadx and the replacement pads are essentially a copy of the BB5 pads. Removing was easy enough but fitting new ones!!!??? Can't see at all how you can squeeze them both in, along with the clip that goes between them. Am I missing out a vital step?
