I prefer Schwalbe for durability. Vittoria or Michelin for speedier stuff.

Any experience of the Schwalbe One?

Looking fto upgrade my Sony Xperia sp. Prefer a compact handset and quite liked the nexus 5 but they no longer do them. Apparently the best compact handset atm is Sony z3 compact. Should I go for another Sony or is there something more. interesting round the corner. Looking for nice minimal type phone but ideally still be quite powerful.

Just tried to set up my crud roadracer mk2s and found there was only three screws in each little bag. Presumably you need 4 per guard - 2 to fit the each stay to the guard and 2 to fit the tip and tail to the guard. Am I being stupid or do I need to email Crud for more screws?

Just about to renew tenancy, landlord is asking for another 12 month lease with 6 month break clause. I vaguely thought since we've been there for 12 months, we could keep the 2 month notice period into the new tenancy instead. Could we or is the 6 months normal/standard?

spotted a bike like this

being ridden down upper regent street this morning.

Has anyone tried the Endura shorts with varying leg lengths? Wondering how much longer the long is than the standard?

Looking for a replacement for GP4000s. Too many side wall cuts on conti tyres recently. I've got some michelin pro4 sc but already had one puncture and don't look like they'd cope with UK roads v well. So any suggestions on 'racing' clinchers?

Looking for some new road brake/gear cables (inner and outer). Seems there are a lot of different options. Shimano's own are pretty expensive. Are the cheaper options by Clarks, Pro-Race etc any good? Or is it a false economy?

OK, I swapped the crankset over and it was pretty easy. However, after I tightened down the non drive side crank to pull the crankset together, I noticed that the slightly wavy/wiggly washer thing on the drive side does not sit flush, i.e. there is a gap between the BB shell and the drive side crank of a few mm. The non-drive side is flush with the BB shell. Is it supposed to be like that?

Thanks, I already have the GXP Sram Force BB. I have big allen keys and grease. Thanks for that.

What tools are needed to remove and install the new (2014) Sram Force 22 Crankset?

I'm thinking of removing and putting on a compact for a trip to the dolomites.

Vittoria Randonneur Cross Pro Folding Tyre Black with Reflective Stripe 32mm (Pair) - £15

They seem narrower than 32mm cross tyres I've used. I had these, plus mudguards, on a pompino with room to spare.

Condition: These have been used, but by no means heavily. They were on a bike I didn't get out on much, and then only to get to the shops/station etc. Couple of hundred miles max.

based on a really quick Google, it seems most cranksets for track are square taper? I thought they were supposed to be flexy so for track I thought external would be the norm due to the sprinting etc.

OK, so just taken delivery of an FXE frameset. Quite happy with it, except that the brake hole on the alpina road fork appears to be drilled slightly off centre. Does that matter?

On-One Pompino X Large Sterling Moss Green Frameset.

Details and geometry as below:

http://www.on-one.co.uk/i/q/FROOP-XL-GRE/onone_pompino_frame___x_large___sterling_moss_green

Admittedly not quite a full frameset as not selling the seatpost.

Included:

On-One Pompino X Large Sterling Moss Green Frame
On-One Pompino Fork
FSA The Pig DH Pro Headset
Seatclamp

NB. Nothing else in the pics is included in the sale.

Condition: Pretty good, well-looked after, never crashed. Fork steerer still has plenty of length for adjustability. Paint chipped away from dropouts due to axle position and cable rub. Small chip on headtube (see pic).
