A quick hello from a very sunny morning in Suffolk. I am currently recovering from a 20 mile run over the weekend so a bit of bike tinkering later (that counts as recovery!) and I hope to be posting and asking/giving advice as we go. I am a 6ft 6 cyclist who sustained a ruptured disc in April 2018 and now have nerve/compression damage. This means only 50% strength on my right side, which is restricting my running more than anything. I have been getting more into cycling just recently and have an older Roubaix with Dura-Ace kit, campag zondas (for winter) and a new set of prime carbons for summer - just about to put tubeless on those if I can get them to seat. As I am so tall, I think it is about time to build my own bike and so I have my eye on a Canyon Ultimate 8.0 CF frameset and I am going to add some low/mid range campy kit to it. Any help you can offer would be greatly appreciated as manufacturers and suppliers just don't seem that keen to do the whole 'customer engagement/service' bit anymore. I look forward to the usual bike chat on here and thank you in advance for your patience!
