Pauls are so last GHlack of 165 though. And I want 165 ;)
-
Freshtripe bikes have 165mm Pauls up at a not-too-stupid price. Well, they're £65 cheaper than BLB!
I've just treated myself to some ;)http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&item=310130403536

The threads you're threading on to should look like the ones on this hub...
You should thread the sprocket right on, then thread the lockring up hard against it.
-
Calling Polo-ers...just spotted this little treat on ebay....
-
True dat! I'd done the same on that bike, but someone got there before me!
-
this borghini pista looks kinda interesting...low start...any good?
Just spoke to the seller. He ended early for an offer of £100, and the bloke came and picked it up yesterday .... gutted.

Ended early. Boo

The forks that were originally on my Lee Cooper had started to rake out a little with the abuse I've been giving them. I was starting to get worried for my teeth, so they needed to go. Chatting with some of the Manc lads on a ride last week brought up that it seems to be a common problem if you run a 1" headset. One of the guys had bent P2s, another his Charge Whisks (less surprising I suppose), and we couldn't think of any other options that were going to be stronger and fit our bikes.
A few phone calls turned up something in the Raleigh parts catalogue. "ATB" forks with a 1" ahead steerer. I'm £25.99 lighter, and one set of forks heavier. They seem to hold up to abuse (I've been out in the street learning barspins. Trust me, that's abuse).
You can't order 'em direct, or see 'em on the Raleigh website, but your LBS can get some for you.
Ugly as fuck, but they could be the answer for you trick riding chaps....

So there's polo Sunday as well as the alleycat/COD premier?
-
How come chub hub claim massively reduced spoke tensions with their huge flange hubs?
-
Yer go on then, you drop me a PM too ;)
-
RoCho was a no-show.
Pedals, saddle and caliper available now
-
Sorry, this is SOLD
-
Found some (I think). A Raleigh set from their bits selection....
-
I don't like the fact that the forks on my Lee Cooper appear to be raking themselves out (slowly). They don't appear to like trick riding abuse...
I've considered some kona P2s but one of the Manchester lads is having the same problem with those.So basically - what you got with a 1" threadless steerer? Heavier/stronger the better. Anything considered.
-
My mate would love those £5 drops.
Pick 'em up Sunday? -
I'm early! Haha
-
Thanks for remembering Coppi, but I've just sold the cranks! haha.
There's at least 3 folk on the forum with those cranks though so I'm sure one of em will be interested. It's very very pretty -
The sun is shining, I'm defiantly coming. All I have to do is work out where to park... I'll find somewhere.
-
If I come over tonight, and it's required (i presume we'll end up in a bar), can I get in on someone's lock?
-
Less than 6 weeks, Less than £600.
