Bike help cycle to work
Afternoon all
Our cycle to work scheme is nearly here again, and as n+1 is the optimal number can anybody help with recommendations based on my requirements.
1. Disc brakes
2. 28c or plus
3. Full mudguard able to be fitted, clip on style not an option (ability to mount a rack would be a bonus)
4. 105, 11 speed would be ideal (I already have Campag and SRAM)
5. Preferably a road bike not a CX, I already have a Boardman CX Team
This is to become a full on winter bike, happy with Aluminium or Steel.
Thanks in advance.

I'm pretty sure they were reviewing previous complaints the little onion had submitted to the police, not social media. But your point stands.

It offers some left-hook prevention (good) and they have put some physical dividers in at the entrances / exits (also good) - but not everywhere. ...

No, there's no mention of Paramo. Because it's an article about a class action against Gore.

Brexit is also why a lot of EU police forces issue on the spot fines.

Just received my Cannondale Synapse Alloy Disc 105 and it DOES take mudguards, it has fittings on the middle of the front fork above the disc and fittings on the rear. I have SKS fitted. The front needs a bit of bending and cutting as the fittings need to be shorter, your shop should do this to save you swearing. Had it for a few spins and its ace, buttery smooth and nippy My wife has ordered the female version on the scheme as well. Considering its a top notch frame, 11spd groupset and disc wheel its a steal at the price, spreading payments over 12 months sans tax just sweetens the deal.
All the best
Good to hear, I have a set of SKS Chromoplastic's sitting around, but I was thinking more along the lines of proper old fashioned mudguards that last forever. Also will it take larger tyres, I quite like the 32's on my Boardman CX.
