well Jerrysk8 should be picking up the Fenders and Risers this week so they are probably gone.

the Fenders are pretty narrow. I think I had 23 or 25mm x 700 tyres. they would fit 28s maybe 32s but that would be pushing it. I can't remember.

You want them jerrysk8?

Wheel set now 60 quid.

I can't see any branding on the Hubs. So i'm not sure what they are.

Hub Spacing is 120mm. - (trying to measure with a ruler. is there some easyier way to measure that? Calipers I guess)

The Stems are from an old Raleigh and an Apollo, so I think they are 25.4 Clamp.

I'll have a look at the hubs. - they were stock on Specialized Langster ~ 2007. I'd been using them on a Raleigh 10 speed conversion. but haven't used them in about 2 years. So can't remember. They've just been sitting around gathering dust.

• Bontrager Risers

• Some random Drops cut off to Bullhorns.

• the threaded headset Stems in the Photos

edit: 25.4 mm Clamp size on the risers. - and I expect the same on the Bullhorns.

Collection N4 Crouch Hill.

what if they tell you that the wheel needs rebuilding?
will you then post and say something about them?
until you visit a shop that gives you the answer you want?

jesus. cynical? - I'm not bad-mouthing anyone. I'm just trying to verify that I was receiving reliable information.

and if you must know Bike Yard East over email have stated:

Three spokes may suggest that the whole wheel is fatigued and may need replacing. But, let's see it. It may be salvagable.

which somewhat backs up London Fields Cycles - so clearly that may be the only feasible approach

its an old wheel and yeah seem to have a lot of spokes compared to Modern Wheels that you see about town.

maybe 36 will have to count them when home. Might see if Bike Yard East can fix it for me? anyone used them for work?

Oh and the bike is actually not Fixed/SS its just an old Raliegh with 3speed SA hub. So a beater. but I'm quite enjoying riding it around.

I think I've been riding it around a bit with the broken spokes. but I dont' think its that far out of wack.

And well he didn't even look at the wheel. I had it with me but he didn't even take it off me to glance at it. just said:

"how Many are broken", "Oh well 3 , thats going to need a complete rebuild"..."the others will have ...blah blah"

I've got 3 broken spokes on this old steel rimmed Wheel (that I'm not sure when they broke).

And the bloke at London Fields Cycles reckons that you can't just replace them - that you need to rebuild the wheel with a full set of new spokes and perhaps a new rim. Is that true?

I"ve just obtained an old Raleigh 3sp and after a few days of riding around one of the Crank Arms has become slightly loose. you can just feel the movement as the crank arm swings over.

So how can I tighten them up? do I need to take it in somewhere with a Cotter Press? Can I just wack it in a bit with a hammer and tighten up the nut?

Do I need to remove it completely and File it smooth and stick it back in?

Whats going to be the easiest way to fix it up?

from the other thread: A bunch of front Racks I spotted in Paris last weekend.

http://picasaweb.google.co.uk/111574...eat=directlink

that copenhagen handlebar / basket looks a bit dubious.. I just can't see the Handlebar clamp holding up to the torque of a large load.

I wouldn' t buy one.

I much prefer the front Axle / Front Brake mounted Porteur racks. - I think you'd be better off sourcing them. All the weight is transfered directly to the front axle which seems a better idea than the handlebar clamp.

Paris Front Rack Photos for those interested:

not exactly.. more like a crappier looking version

100 quid for a front rack? I'm in paris, I'll keep an eye out for a good price. I paid 40€, fitted.

Good price for web shipping, that is...

well they had one in BHV or there is a bike shop that overlooks Canal Saint Martin that has 3 different ones. all for around 30Euro. (one of which is the same as that in BHV but it was quite heavy - built with thick solid metal rod rather than tubing.

The department Store BHV just off rue de Rivoli has an attahced BHV Velo or BHV Bicycle Shop that had one of the Porteur Style Front Racks. for £29.

They have an online store but I dont' really know what to serach for

Easilest would be to ask a freind or someone in Paris to post one.

Just went to Paris for the weekend and jesus there were loads of front racks around on bikes over there. Took a bunch of photos of different ones that I'll post later.

After eventually finding a Bike shop on Canal Saint Martin i got a small low mounting 'porteur' ish rack for 27 Euro. Hopefully it will fit on the bike. Haven't tried it yet.

So if you are really after a Front Rack i'd recommend trying Paris.

I presume you coudl quite easily mount a bx like that on a basket support.

Smaller 2 bottle Wine Box. (with wine) £22

http://www.wine2laydown.com/shop/Details.cfm?ProdID=156&category=0

where can I get a Wine box though?

As an Alternative I'm now thinking a Wine Box on the front would be kind cool if it was mounted right.

This ones a bit sloppy but is good cut down.

or say:

or:

These Low Rider Pannier Racks.
