its not a tiny guitar, its a long way away.

Ive been reconditioning my fathers old tourer recently. Sun GT10, its about 30y.o. steel frame. Lost the usual bits and pieces and replaced the old steel wheels with something a bit more modern.

The chainline could be better to be honest, so im condsidering replacing the cranks in the future.

Currently it has a square taper bottom bracket, with a stud extension that the cranks are attached with a nut (not a bolt, a nut?)
Thinking about replacing the BB, Ive measured it and the shell is 70mm. I consulted Sheldon and its quite possibly a 71mm Raleigh 26tpi cup. Are these available anywhere? did they have different axle lengths?

Alternatively does a JIS crank sit further inboard than ISO?

Any other suggestions?

dont understand why you are all so obsessed with the ghey roadie style shoes.

especially as when you talk clips/straps everyone says Vans.
get something a bit more skate style and you will find you walk better in them.
should pick up a basic spd shoe for 20 bunts.

(slightly less rigid sole, worse power transfer - negligible)

ps. didnt get on with time's. spds end of. shimano mp66.

that doesnt fall in the 51-75 cat does it. twat

never guess what i do for a living.

accept that being 10 secs later is not really a problem.

use those 10 secs to fall about laughing at the incompetance of those around you.

ive just searched the park tool website, and rather worryingly

This model of freewheel has no removal tool fittings of any type.

am i to assume the only way to remove this freewheel is to take dismantle it and remove the core with a f*** off big wrench?

swearing on spoke cards is fine - its catchy and its guerilla tactics anyhow.
fly posting trucks with stickers - avoid swearing, the sui-side graphic works well for that.
harrass your mp to deal with the official/media/bike to work side of awareness raising.

does anywhere run skills courses for riding in traffic?

R I P

nothing more can be said - another sad day.

i consider myself told.

round these parts you either mtfu, or wtfu
i should've realised that in metroschmexual landan, it would be htfu.

it wont happen again.

much

when i first read the OP, i thought that you were struggling to ride a cage (flat) pedal with just a strap.

i thought it was very strange, but that didnt surprise me really. Some tard has led the way and now everyone is ditching their toe clips and just using the straps. Stranger things happen.

further reading and i see that you are struggling with clips n straps.

MTFU, i was riding with toe clips when i was ten.
Clipless is the way, but i understand your lack of fashion sense may not extend to thepcial shoes (although there are plenty that allow you to walk properly - mtb)

find somewhere quiet to practice, and practice, and practice

there is nothing better than a spd induced stationary collapse.

42:18 at the moment.
its that or 52:18 until i have pennies for a crankset, and the hills round here would have me walking too often

(takes mtfu pill)

physio will sort you out in a jiffy.

do the proper stretches, give it a little rub, take some oily capsules cher-ching!

i avoided this thread all day thinking it was some stupid "does my chain being a bit too tight affect my posture"

im not clicking that link till you promise its NSFW

1. a whole dose of mtfu (spare pair of hands and a scaffold bar)
   
2. empty a can of wd40, go and have a drink and try again tomorrow
   
3. wrap the bb in a towel and empty a kettle of boiling water onto it
   

other things to consider,
tyre moving round the rim under braking and moving the inner tube, due to worn rims, worn tyres, too low pressures or just plain bad luck
