I reckon ive got the 16mm rim tape on them. The next size down is 13mm. I may well try that out.

After trying pretty much everything on this thread, I need to bump it, due to still not getting both tyres seating on the rims.
Front and rear are both mavic open sport, now I first mounted gatorskins on both of them, and after too many attempts, there was no way I could get both tyres seated properly. There is always one part of the tyre slightly lower inside the rim.
So I swapped the rear gatorskin for my old continental gp to test if it was that tyre, but ended up having exactly the same problem.
My only thought now is, could the velox cloth rim tape possibly be restricting some of the space for the tyre to seat? Im pretty sure I put it on nice and straight, and its definitely the right size for the rims.
Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

Someone took my spokecards one night, but I guess thats probably down to pissed curiosity. Still, kind of annoying.
-
Thats a really nice frame, I saw a courier on a very nice gazelle champ mondial today, which reminded me how much I wanted one. Shame that its too big for me.

Spotted in NY. Nice bike, shame about the saddle situation and bars..
-
Theres a few different sizes, so you'll have to measure the width. Sjs cycles do some, just search seat bolt. http://www.sjscycles.co.uk

Saw a guy there today selling a black velocity front wheel, alongside other random crap. Looked dodgy as. No way to prove it was stolen, but it looked out of place in his hands seeing as he was on a cheap old mtb.

Today I saw another cyclist on a nice looking mountain bike with one of his cranks on the floor, and a look of ' aaahhhh shit...'
Needless to say, I stopped and offered him a selection of mini tools, which he was extremely thankful for, and sent him happily on his way.
Anyone else performed any good cycling deeds of late?
Or are you one of those people who are too snobby to help somebody clearly below your level of your fixed gear superior authority, and leave them walking home in the rain..?
-
Check out the graphic design on this listing. They've put a lot of effort into selling just one wheel.

Ill be up for tag again in a couple of weeks, but will be busy the next 2 sundays.

Im pretty sure bikes get stolen from broadway market almost every saturday. A lot of the bikes that are locked up along the park fence, can get cut from the other side pretty easily - as the bushes obscure the thieves.

Frankie; which was your bike?
The holdsworth conversion.
-
No sorry, was having so much fun I forgot about it until the end.
-
Heres some photos from the fixed-tag session:
-
Great night! The ride and tag was great. I got a few photos from the square at the end, blurry but Ill add them later anyway.
Look forward to next time.

Bike's all finished now, so I look forward to seeing you all on ride. So far the weather seems to be set for *Sunny Intervals... *and hopefully it stays that way.

That really sucks man, I hope it comes back.
I was looking at that dolan the other day locked up with a cable, I thought, shit that is not a nice way to leave your bike.
From experience, Ive had my bike locked up Chelsea with a d lock, and it got cut, along with 7 others that day!! Luckily, security saw the guys and ran up and caught them half way through my lock, and managed to save my bike.
Talk to the guys at the gate house, they will help you out, and hopefully have some info.
For everyones information. Chelsea is definitely is not a safe haven for locking your bike.

Could be quite useful for the leader of a ride to have one, If someone falls back they could follow the trail back to the group.

Ladies frame with horizontal dropouts - £4.99 3 hours to go.

For sale is this old Carlton frame that I planned on building up, but ended up getting a Holdsworth as well and completed that instead.
The Frame size 54cm seat tube, and 54cm top tube. Its 531 tubing, and built for 27" wheels originally. 126mm rear OLD. 100mm front OLD. The paintwork is ok, but there a fair few small nicks. Includes an old dura ace headset, which isn't great working order.
Forks are not the originals, but are 27" from a claud butler.
Stem is not included.
One other thing I noticed is a slight curve in top tube where it meets the steerer tube. I asked keith at Tour De Ville about this, and he thought it wasn't due to a front impact but maybe overheating during the build process? I checked all over and there's no cracks or ripple in the frame.
Anyway, looking for about £40. Pm Offer.
Also, a pair of 27" x 1 1/4 Weinmann Rims that where going on the Carlton.
Both are 36 hole, with dimpled braking surface that don't have much wear. Good condition.
I paid £33 for the rims with postage. So If you're in London you can collect for £28. Or I'll post them for the original £33.
I can also post the Carlton for an extra £15.
Cheers, Francis.
