Looked at it but a touch heavy and you would not want it in a jersey back pocket for long. Fine I would think for someone solely using an ebike.

Or for someone that always has panniers fitted
I'm having a think about that pump, could anyone that bought it leave a short review while Lidl is still selling it, please?

Looking at the Lidl pump it's quite large. I have this one, which is £40 - https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/356055264581 It's much smaller and comes with a chunky rubber cover, that I don't use.

Thanks @DCLane that looks better, also you get a higher psi.
I think Lidl's pump max is 60psi

Morning all,

This is on Ribble's clearance page, £899 buys you a 725/Aksium/Tiagra/ make what you will of Forks: Endurance 725 Full Carbon Tapered :
https://www.ribblecycles.co.uk/ribble-endurance-725-tiagra-med-ribstock50065/

Okay, I know, Ribble have become a "Sports Direct" with imaginative prices to reduce from, but £900 is still a pretty good price if you are looking now, rather than it's such a bargin I've just got to have one.

Bye

Ian

As Boardman's new carbon 8.9 with hydro tiagra is £1400 I think the Ribble is on the higher side of ok

Good morning,

Don't forget that steel is now the frame material with a price premium attached and carbon fibre is for the masses

Ribble also have this for £849

If you are one of those folks who likes to take a very complete tool set out on rides this may be of interest:

I started looking out for a small & lightweight solution to this after a clubmate got his chain thoroughly jammed between little ring and frame. Undoing that preload bolt is a challenge without a tool that fits but most are quite heavy.

My tyre levers fit those perfectly as used on my riding partner's bike and some random stranger's.
