All stems are measured the same.

Nitto just use reach rather than extension.

Reach makes way more sense (imo).

Can't you just put a new axle in the existing hub?

What is it?

Italian Rap is fascinating. I spent the best part of a week listening to nothing but. It was great.

Really like G.Bit:

Lots of it takes itself too seriously though.

This is catchy though:

I started listening due to this, which is incredible (obviously):

Slightly off topic but one of my favourite Youtubers reviewed a DeWalt battery chainsaw recently:

He's definitiely no DeWalt fan.

Never used Stihl but have used plenty of Makita tools in the past (albeit not chainsaws) and they've all been rocksolid.

What tyres are they?

Ofo drastically reducing the geo-area of bikes:
£15 charge to park one out of this area.

Pretty useless to me now.

Does anyone know the area of Mobikes?
EDIT: some online suggestion that its only Zone 1. Pretty sure thats old info though.

God, don't remind us. That was infuriating.

They came with an awful proprietary headset called the Mindset. Confusingly Specialized then named a helmet this as well, so googling isn't much fun.

There is a work around though:

I've still got a OnePlus2. I've cracked and replaced the screen myself (about a year ago) and I'm not that handy. Bought a phone repair set of tools off aliexpress for about £3. Included all I needed. Plus I bought some tiny thin (like 1mm) double sided foam tape. Surprisingly easy.

Its still not a bad phone. I've been saying I'll get a new one for about 2 years now, but it keeps on trucking. Factory reset helps it run a bit better if it gets sluggish.

Its worth naff all but it'll do a job for a year or so I'd wager. Just depends how much you want new shiny gadgets over stuff that just does the job.

Thanks.

I'm somewhat tempted to kick up a little bit of a fuss as its not totally clear. Doubt it'd achieve much though and not sure I can do with the stress.

Bugger.

That'll teach me to rely on hastily translated listings.

Oh well. It wasn't a huge amount of money. Although the postage has made it somewhat less worthwhile. Might see if I can reuse the spokes.

Pictures were of the wheel were side view only, plus detail of the hub and the rim sticker/brand marking. So no way of telling that it was bent from that.

Thanks all (@Swiss Chap, @Oliver Schick & @ ube - Can't find your username on the linking thingy).

Can anyone translate this German more accurately than google?

I probably didn't read it too well but that doesn't suggest the rim is bent does it? Trying to ascertain if the wheel I just bought was bent in transit (box seems fine but there was zero padding inside). Need to raise a ticket if not. Its properly pringled.

Possible that he's covered by the 'spare part/donor' bit of his description. But its not very clear.

@Oliver Schick: Apologies for tagging you in directly you're just the only German I know of on here. Plus you seem very helpful.

One photo included. Of the shadow of the bike and the owner. Thats it.

Lovely.

Can't help thinking it'd look better with destickered rims though. But then its not my bike.

They all feel weird out of the bike in my experience.

I quite like this. But as a kids bike. It'd be ace.

There isn't a reason, as they did make friction/index 10 speed. I've got a pair.

They did do another variant that was index only though.

http://si.shimano.com/pdfs/ev/EV-SL-BS79-2873A.pdf - Indexed only

I rode 10 speed friction for a while (necessity as I only had 7 speed levers available). It wasn't great but it was manageable. In fairness it was on my pub bike and I didn't change gear all that much.

I was thinking they were £100 ish bags tbh. Surprisingly nice to PX.

Fuck me. Why didn't I read the rest of the thread first.

Thanks. Just used it to buy yet another dynamo wheel that I don't need.

Go me!

I'm not a fan of the looks but always wanted to build one. As it happens my pub bike needs a new wheel building.

Those bags are lovely.

I hate foxes. When I was 7 I had 2 ducks in my garden. They had 7 ducklings who had just reached adult size. Fox got in and killed all 9. Didn't eat any of them. Just killed them.

Cunts.

The are quite cute though.

Saying that cats are equally awful killing machines.

I like cats though.

:)

How do you figure out the required length for snowflake lacing? Also do you make a form/tool for bending?

Nice job.
