Deviant is only a relative term, Mr H.

Opinions vary, but pretty much.

Depends where you draw the line between "play" and "movement".

The tightest chain will still move, but a touch of tension-free play is entirely different.

Tbh, if yer velocipede is new just run it for a week or two and the chain will ease off anyway.

I certainly don't.

Where do you stick yer SPuDs, Mr Hippy?

Do tell.

Or maybe not...

Probably about persons who are slebs first, cyclists second.

I was guessing in London or thereabouts, too.

Zara Philips?

You know you would.

Suspect the thread is about slebs on bikes, rather than in the vicinity thereof.

Seconded.

Lift the back wheel and turn the cranks slowly.

DO NOT TRAP YER PINKIES TWIXT CHAIN AND CHAINRING AND/OR SPROCKET

Check the chain tension at various points. Most likely it won't be even.

You'll need a tiny bit of play (couple of mil up and down) at the tightest point.

Pursuitengers.

I'm not going.

Barrie told me not to.

No joy there either.

Momentum If on-one don't come through with the bars then I have some cr-mo 123s that I don't want. They're a bit scratched on one side so they need taping (which I'm sure you'll be doing anyway).
They're showing as in stock, so I've ordered them.
Cheers anyway.

I'm just not gettin the contrasting lugs thang.

Defo score these items from the Bay.

Waaay cheep Stateside.

hippy I just have a 'slight' concern nowadays about buying stuff from overseas when there's a local option.

You said it.

And this is why they're there:

hippy And they're WELSH! :)

Glad to see even our colonial cousins have a healthy concern.

Apart from giving us a word for breaking a deal, what have they done?

hippy Try the q rings.. "momentum carries leg through dead spot"..

Ahem...

Make sure you score the correct sized clamp.

Ask me how i know....

Well, I had thoughts of an SP72 (and at forty sheets I couldn't say no).

Failing that any Nitto (ideally 2-bolt).

Poss Dura-Ace, if the sh1t hits the fan, Ultegra.

Not that I'm fussy....

Still waiting.

The dude hasn't responded to me or PayPal, but still trading.

I can't afford a seatpost til this nonsense is settled.

RPM on-one have chromo 123s in stock.

RPM, you are a god amongst men.

Order placed.

And a stupidly expensive but terminally sexy beverage holder.

Now, a stem...

Universal Cycles are charging me $30 to ship a Nitto stem. That's not too bad, is it? Of course, it hasn't actually turned up yet...

Err...

Hope your luck is better than mine.

Universal have it on backorder, the other muppet is who I'm in dipute with over the invisible seatpost.

i'm waiting on a reply from Ben's Cycle.

The shipping is kinda mental, but I'm three months without wheels.

NB to self: next time don't sell the old bike before the new one arrives....

O and I'm still without a seatpost, six weeks and a PayPal dispute in...
