Ryde Andra 321 is the rim your looking for.

Velocity rims are fine. Not the best finished in the past but that seems to have improved. The pacenti brevet is s good rim. The atlas is another good rim.

Yes that's right although you have probably worked this out buy now.

With sapim longer nipples don't mean shorter spokes as the nipple is not fully threaded. Are you sure this is the case with alpina. The spoke should still reach the top of the thread of any nipple. I keep 1mm increments from 288mm to 298mm in silver sapim race and from 280mm to 294mm in black Sapim force.

Mtb with studded tyres. I have one and I use it when its icy. Although lots commented about falling on ice this morning in Suffolk. I did not find any.

Irc roadlites 25mm on a 18. 5mm internal with rim is 27.5mm width. I really like these tyres.

Irc tyres that are 28mm wide in reality are about 24mm tall so more clearance than your conti and I'd wager more comfy too.

The conti GP4000s cannot be run reliably tubeless. The bead will stretch in time and you could loose pressure mid ride or mid corner.

Only tubeless tyres should be run tubeless unless they are on a MTB and you can use 20-30psi then the bead is safe. Andy what you are doing is potentially hazardous or least potentially ride ruining.

you would have to strip out the days then when it windy for the some riders and sill for others. The weather is not honest so why should the traffic be.

my clubs record for the 12hr is 271 miles which as I use a road bike is unatainable at my level. Dale sturman also has the 24hr club record at 441 miles. That is more achievable now how do I get to that level its only 18.37 mph for 24hrs. Easy in it.... actually how on a road bike I will have to eat on the go, maybe nap while riding. What can I eat on the go thats is actual food - what do folk eat for these. sugary stuff churns my stomach. last year I had to stop way to much and eat pasta, scotch eggs, sausage rolls, m&ms coffee, coke cola chocolate donuts i.e food that took time to eat. Need a better way. 7 months to find it.

I would ride a 12hrs after a 100 miler. last summer I did the 24hr then a week later a 12hr. the following wednesday i raced and got a result. sometimes you can big rides in a row (it did not last though my legs went flat in september)

that not a bad price for the FSE rims. I got pricing of them so i know how much they actually cost. not a bad price at all.

Tour mag test which one. I like good reviews of Rock n roll lubes for obvious reasons. They have a wet lube too that is very persistent. Rock N Roll is a lazy riders lubes. Only the dedicated degrease chains militant and re lube. Most folk just change chains more frequently than they would otherwise need to.

What was tour testing?

The gold will not last too long in wet weather rnr do other lubes for those conditions.

I dislike lubes that pick the black paste of death. I hate changing chains you see and cassettes in fact doing any maintenance on my bikes as no one pays me for it.

All hubs are assembled and disassembled fairly easily. Have you got the end caps off. On some campag hubs they are screwed in and a 5mm Allen key in each end will undo them.

The old strada cranks did not use a 102mm ISO taper bb though.

You can push a tyre worm in. You are meant to make the hole bigger with these. Just shove it in. Timidness is a real problem.

Clutch freed by starting in gear. Relief.

Not a dealer who knows what BMW enthusiasts are like.

Entered the mersey roads 24hr and the break land cc 12hr. Noted the dates of the Farnborough 12hr, Welsh 12hr and the ecca 12hr. These are the only ones I could find. I also entered my first 100 on 19th May in Norfolk. Looking forward to it all already.

Praxis and wheels manufacturing do them too. Token have a good one as well in the ninja. All these are available in the u. K

Honjo guards perhaps.

Or merc amg. If you want to be electric smug buy a tesla model a. Fast and all electric. I want one. Now how do I make that kind of money.

It drove fine yesterday. I am hoping it is the cold that has caused the problem and all will be well when it is warm again. I have tried starting in gear. It wont start it tries to lurch forward. I dont want to damage stuff. That clutch cist me alot of money earlier this year when it went properly wrong.

Tange threaded headsets are nice reliable and cheap new with lower stack heights. You but the headset to match the stack height if your forks ideally.

40mm stack if memory serves for the 105 headset.

Yes. Use thin spokes in the calculated length and buy the time i am finished with they will be too long which is more of an annoyance that an actual problem.
