Bad move posting it over at VS.

http://velospace.org/node/35326

You had best sell this before 2nd March ...

This.

I'll take the goldfinger if you can post it?

+1 for colnago_costa - Neatly packed items. The tires where said to be lightly used but could've easily been brand spanking new. Good price, he even knocked some off for the shipping. Top drawer!

hi Thrust just sold a 59er...with a classic paintjob.

Yeah, I was skint. Cried a bit when it went.

Facking lush this. But alas, made for a jockey type person.

Liking these Peugeot you bring forth Rih! Might have to snatch one soon.

This one, 4 cm too small.

Nice


ARghhh, i was watching that!

£55 for a Yoyo? What'd I miss?

Dibs Radius. Ship to Sweden?

Undibs, need money for food.

Use a dollop of lithium grease or the blue assembly one just in case there's a discrepancy in sizes. You don't want to strip the thread.

I figured I'd buy some Phil Wood grease from a local dealer that only has the shop open three times a week. Might even go there as he's the best wheelbuilder around here.

Have you tried to do it yourself then?

I will as soon as I can borrow someones chainwip and lockring-tool.

Will buy them when funds land in a week.

I think Surly use English threading on their hubs which is 1.370" x 24tpi compared to the ISO standard 1.375" x 24tpi which most track hubs use. It probably should still work in that respect though.

The other issue I've heard of is that some track sprockets are wider than the Surly ones, which gives the lockring less thread to grip. Could be that.

Edit: the cog and lockring would still fit on, of course, it just might unscrew more easily than normal in use.

Could be that he didn't want to install it because of the fear of it stripping? Not that shite then perhaps?

You're paying a shop to put on a sprocket for you?

They fitted the cranks, dialed it in and such. (didn't dial that much as the freewheel was loose when I got home)

thrust, where you based?
i have all the tools needed and would willingly help.
i'm based in brixton.
free all day tomorrow.

just seen the latest post below, might be a bit far.

A bit. ;)

Shit LBS.

Maybe he tried to put the lockring on before the sprocket? Did he think it was a spacer?

Nah, I don't think he's THAT bad. He's used to BMX tings. I think he didn't realise he dealt with a flipflop which is odd considering he's selling BLB-hubs.

name and shame the lbs

its best we know where to avoid

Not in the UK so no worries there. ;)

Did he try to fit it on the freewheel side I wonder?

...he actually said he couldn't fit a blb cog and lockring on my surly flip flops because it wasn't the right diameter?

Pube it was. Or probably a hair from a paintbrush.

Repainted Cinelli Laser

Two bids, both rediculous.

Got the RDG built up?

Undibs. Need the front only...

Have you painted the headset?

Headset was ready for the heap. Couldn't be arsed to remove it before priming.

That's a hair. Rattle-canning naked, perchance?

Not this time, however the orig painter could have and it could lie beneath the orig paint. I scratched the primer off and a spot of orig paint was underneath but I never filed it to see how deep it was. I'll check it later tonight to see if it's indeed a hair.

what? the pube?

Strong pube is strong.

Is it possible to weld it with a TIG?

Saw this after I primed my beater. A hairline crack in the headtube. Is it ready for the heap or can it be salvaged?
