Got a new English frame and trying to keep it all from the same place! But relatively cheaphish (if such a concept can exist on this fair isle).

talking of wheel building...
How do you measure a spoke? Is it the whole length including the bent bit or is top/centre of bent bit to the end of the thread?
Also, does anone know where you can get a cheap tension meter? Those park tool ones seem f**king expensive for what they are! -
Didn't you get really annoyed when someone laughed at you for the same thing?

Just installing a new Miche Primato Crank and it says "lock 35Nm" on the little plastic bit around the nut. Thats a hell of a lot, no?
Whats the plastic ring for? Is it just a washer.
The reason I ask is that it is not flush with nut, which made me think it is supposed to ping out and be flush or "lock" when you reach 35Nm. -
joneant: "having ridden both a BJ and a Mercian"
Have you owned both a BJ and a Mercian, or just tried both. Did you ride a BJ for a while and then "upgrade" to a Mercian, if so how long did you ride the BJ for?
I only ask as I am also getting kind of interested in both and want to hear an experienced user of both's opinion.
If you have only tried both, then was the difference that noticeable? -
Anyone know of a helmet that doesn't make you look like a twat? i.e. thin with many air vents.
No problems with mine yet, after a year of riding. Did 80 miles on them the other day and dont find them uncomfortable either.
