How about a 41cm Merckx?

I've got 3, what size?

Here's a picture of a normally laced rear hub. It was one month old.

I believe RPM can show you more evidence.

It's laced the wrong way, the pulling spoke should be on the outside. That creates a stronger/stiffer wheel.

Show me a Sheriff Star road hub that's failed, it may be down to the reverse torque that is caused when skidding/kicking back.

Campagnolo Record pista hubs, high (with 6 oval slots) or low flange, are great and will last for years.
Campagnolo C-Record high flange pista hubs ('sherriff stars') are pieces of shit that snap if ridden on anything other than smooth boards. Low flange ones are the dogs bollocks, however.

These things might be old but they were high-spec things designed for racing on. Tootling round the city is hardly going to kill them.

Ride that Dura-ace. It's only a hub, and only a Shimano one at that - you can always buy another if it breaks.

My frequently-used Raleigh roadster is riding on 56 year old Sturmey Archer hubs and rims and they are like new. And that weighs as much as the moon.

Bullshit

The only problem is if the front hubs are laced radially and that adds stress to the flange, saying that I've got some 1st gen Sherrif stars that are radial front and haven't been trash. But I suppose I only roll around the smooth boards of Manchester, Newport, Berlin, Ghent, Dortmond...........

I've never had Campag cranks fail, you guys must be generating sooooooo much power you should all try for the 2012 games now that Jamie Staff has retired

Turning a bit pikey?!? You haven't been around these parts very long, have you? ;]

Didn't take long to figure it out ;-)

You should keep that and not let some hipster wear it in an "ironic" manner with a t-shirt or something.

Hence the price tag, I've noticed that everyone wants a Cinelli Laser with full record for £20 or the world is really unfair. I think the forum is turning a bit pikey.

NJS Tie from 1990 when I rode the Keirin

£50 posted

I've got a new BH road bike that is taking up space in the garage, yours for £250 posted, I'll double check the size but is around the 56-58cm mark.

I've got one that I've maxed out with 2Gig of Ram, yours for £250.

I'll post the specs if interested.

41 x 12 was an Awesome gear, it would accelerate super quick. I used it beat Fredric Magne at Bercy stadium, Paris.

You can get a 41T but not in 1/8th. It will sit properly so don't worry about that, scour eBay for Gipeimme, Zeus or Campag

How much for the giant?

It looks like this one

I've got a GP4 32h rim I've just cut out a hub out of.

I've got a set of these

I've got a giant OCR in Small that will build up in to a nice geared bike.

You can, it's easier on the Chorus and above.

You never heard this from me.............

Buy a set of MXR Eggbeaters or the cheap Candys/Acids off Chain reaction for about £20, ride them a few times and when they develop a touch of play send them back and they will upgrade the pedals to the next level.

It could be caused by a loose headset, or just a flexy frame.

I ll be sure to tell the restorer.

Doing you a favour incase someone trys to sell you some Khamsins claiming that they a Ghiblis

It's got the wrong discs on, they are the cheap ones, Khamsins and not Ghiblis.

Supply and demand ;-)

Is it the top bolts off a old school Record seatpin? I may have some.

I got rejected by Halfords for being too good

I've got one and a dishing tool, no longer use.
