Yea I think thats what I may go for. but dont want to drop down to a too smaller size and damage the seat tube. Considering how far its going in maybe someone just enlarge it abit much at the top last time they took the post out.

Morning,
Trying to insert my seat post, and it only goes in about an inch (about to the bottom of the where the cut out is in the back of the seatpost) and I cannot get it in any further. I have tried cleaning out the seat tube and lubing the post up. So the problem is either:

a) Post too big.
b) Tube too dirty.

Moronic question that I can see having a simple answer, but any suggestions/thoughts?
cheers.

woah inundated! right, some pm's will be sent.

anyway got a spare one of these?

I know parker international to shimano one for £14 quid, but rather save abit of money if anyone has a spare one lying around, pref 16t.

should of said in title, its for flipflop hub with thread, silly me.

Thanks.

i could try again or:

bought a wheel from flickwg recently. Off a langster I think. All black. I just acquired a different wheel, so don't need it.
The lock ring thread is shot, but hub is good, its true and freewheel runs fine. 15t. I paid £15.

edit: seems i didnt send pm..i think I am going mad today.

pm'd

if front wheel falls through I will take it.

reposts are boring for people who've seen it all before. i only joined recently. i read it all. even the silmarillion. the whole thing. somethings though are worth reposting. just man up n quit yo whining. but nice hunbs.

it looks totally fine. find parts, build it, ride it. sod a colour scheme (worry about that later, then you can spend more...so satifying...)

What bars be them? Look nice.

haha my bad sorry dude!

sano, please try again...

dibs on wheel.

I would love some paul lever love, but i get the feeling i would not be able to get it onto my drops...

I'd take wheels depending on price if you split. and maybe even parts like brake calipers and levers....

I am after a small standard frame or step through, to fit a 5ft 3in person. so a frame around 48/49cm would be awesome.

anything outthere?

solution: wedge it down really hard and tighten as quick as you can. then tighten lots. the ride new comfy sadle. problem solved. approaching these things sober is always the better plan.

yea, it only just doesn't fit. right bugger. ah well, i will take it along with my creaking cranks to east drinks for the first time later if i am still awake....

i'm not a complete retard. mind you, i will have another look now i am sober.

another potential retard question. just acquired a san marco rolls, expecting it to fit the seat post that my b17 happily fits, but came to put it on and the rails are too narrow. wtf.

do i need to just get a new seat post or what not? tis somewhat infuriating.

cheers anyways...

I have been posting far too much in the last couple of days....

cheers for the advice guys, I will get myself sorted with grease and the correct tools as soon as I can and get it degreasing.
Interestingly, i do think it started just after the torrential downpour the other week.

Morning,
had this persisting for a few days, and have read the search items. My non-drive side crank creaks when I am accelerating, slowing down, or posing at lights. so essentially whenever I put a large force into it.
I established that it had been loosing itself off, so i tightened it and still the creaking persists, albeit at a lower level.
Having used the search and not found anything that great a few questions:

1. Is my only solution to take it off, and reinstall it?
   
2. If so, I need to get a crank puller, any recommendations on best place for tools?
   
3. To grease or not to grease the spindle when reinstalling?
   
   

Cheers.

dibs on rolls.

it is just what i had around. My bro had the rims laced to the hubs so I got them off him as i did just want to ride the bike. i still have the hubs that came with the bike when i found it, at home. nice drilled out ones but this was just easier/probably more reliable and to be honest looks good. though i feel if i got a non quick release skewer for the front it may be a better idea.

thanks very much. i will keep an eye out for those tyres cheers.
