Re: Pictures of your bike(s)
still love my boardman from 2011 , i had the white road comp which i had resprayed last year by an auto spray painters my choice was white , grey or JCB ,,,,,djnotts wrote: ↑7 Jun 2021, 12:46pm Must be 10 years since I toyed with the idea of "just one bike", but my "new" Boardman (thanks Colin!) has very much resurrected consideration.
Lowered the gearing by the cheapest route, a mech extender and a 9 speed 11-40 cassette rather than 11-32. Works perfectly and makes all the difference. 20210607_112545.jpg20210607_112540.jpg

Back in the eighties, my bike was a similar yellow - exactly the same shade as the lorries where my dad was the painter/sprayerCyberKnight wrote: ↑17 Jul 2021, 7:38pm still love my boardman from 2011 , i had the white road comp which i had resprayed last year by an auto spray painters my choice was white , grey or JCB ,,,,,

Here's an arty shot of the Panorama on the loose at the Crook O Lune in it's original iteration.
Had a few changes since then and is now sporting a Nitto Jitensha bar.

Is that a cube acid or aim frame with rigid forks on ? I'm interested cos I'd like to do the same to my acid.

Cube Attention ( I think most cube frames in that line up are similar if not the same)
running Surly krampus fork ( did try karate monkey fork but too short axle to crown)
works great now no issues using a 180 disk up front 203 rear (helps when packing gear)
Pete... I think

Re: Pictures of your bike(s)
I'm going to ask why! Why have you got a larger disk at the back than the front?

Re: Pictures of your bike(s)
Using a larger disk on the rear does seem to offer better braking and along with the ceramic pads I seem to get longer from both pads and disk overall while cycling loaded, I do a lot of off road riding.
The change to 180mm front and 203mm rear feels like it gives me more control while downhill off road.
I have read someplace that a 203mm disk has 30% more braking force compared to a 180mm and also about 15% more cooling. My pads are lasting longer and the bike feels better at braking down some pretty steep stuff.

Which is why the larger rotor needs to be up front!TimeTraveller wrote: ↑3 Aug 2021, 11:04am I have read someplace that a 203mm disk has 30% more braking force compared to a 180mm and also about 15% more cooling.
Your choice though!
