All my notifactions from LFGSS go to into spam in GMAIL. My lfgss email is a hotmail and I forward to gmail so it's easy for me to pickup on my phone.
In the last couple of months something changed on this site which stopped the my mail coming through.
Any ideas?
cheers

if @Ellis47 isn't interested in the Stronglight I might be.
Cheers

Dibs pls, PM incoming

will do ta.

I fancy try trekking bars and wondered if anybody has a set they don't need.
Pref black and 25.4 clamp.
Cheers

Excellent v interested to see how it turns out. I guess strip the chrome, mitre and then tig. Are you going to use those paper templates for mitreing or just go at it manually??

@thrust I've never used one but I reckon for circa £10 they'd give an extra level of "security" if you're concerned at all. There's not many things on a bike that you'd be happy with them failing but the issue with the steerer is that it's tricky to inspect.

which wall thickness did you go for?

If you're concerned about welding the steerer tube you could get one of these

Although I dare say you could easily manufacture something that does the same job.

Good luck, it's an interesting project, like others I wish I had the tools and skills for this sort of stuff.

The Marin Nicasio SS looks a really nice bike for the money. if you can get sliding DO's with a RD hanger then it's quite a versatile bike.

you're right you never know! pm incoming

Have PM'd to confirm I'll take the 27.2mm.
Cheers

Pm'd about the 27.2mm seatpost.

@BareNecessities, cheers. In retrospect I should probably have taken it into BikeFix on this occassion and got them to remove it as it was probably a mix of my inexperience and the sprocket being stubborn. I'm getting the splined carrier installed when it gets serviced as I could be changing it a bit whilst bedding it in and don't want this hassle again.

@BareNecessities, nice one ta, I'll pick your brains a bit more when I see you at Epping. I would have thought the Loch Lomond bit wouldn't have been easy!
I've buggered my rohloff so it's off to SJS to get it repaired. I couldn't get sprocket off without it damaging the Drive unit, I suspect previous owner and possibly the previous previous owner had attempted it and opted to leave it on. It was quite worn. Any road up Dave (Mr Rohloff at SJS) reckons a turnaround of 3/4 days at the moment so should be back in plenty of time for the 24th. R hubs aer great for mainteance free running but when they go they're expensive.

I should have said I was try it on 29er, minimal kit not tent etc. I don't mind carrying the bike for a bit, 10 - 15 mins here and there but don't want extended stretches or a proper hill walking with a bike on my back.

Good idea re good snaps on google, will dig a bit deeper.

Anybody cycled the West Highland way?
I'm thinking about doing it (North to South) and have read various reports, some saying there's too many parts you can't cycle so end up walk quite a bit and some others say it's do'able and good.
I'm looking for something that's reasonably easy as it's my first jaunt.

@stedlocks, same thing has happened to me on the commute and to matters worse they seem to go past with such aplomb.

@BareNecessities Report back if you get a chance to get out on your Rohloff and let us know how it went.

Cheers
