I definitely do not need a front derailleur, may be intereseted in a rear, but it's not required.

Let me know either way! :~)

Markyp, I've PM'd you.

Last attempt?

Still looking 8 speed STI levers.

Still searching for these. Any shimano compatible levers considered (or possibly even just a left hand on as my one is broken)

Hi,

I'm after a set of Look Keo pedals. Any models considered, Easy, Classic, Sprint etc. All price dependant.

Mainly with smooth running bearings, and appearance is secondary.

I'm in Belfast so posting would probably be needed.

Cheers,
Paul

Hi,

Looking for a cheap set of Shimano, or shimano compatible 8 speed STI levers.

Anything considered.

Cheers,
Paul

(Edit: Must be willing to post)

Have had mine for a good while now, good for training and spinning. Quite quiet, still havent got the hand of out of saddle riding on them yet. DOn't think I ever will. I find I get a numb gooch very quickly on these unless i stand for small amounts of time. Using the same bike as I do on weekends for club runs that last in excess of 4 hours.

Are the 10 speed derailleur jockey wheels not different with Campagnolo? I'm purely guessing but would it be ok going 10 speed mech with 9 speed chain? It'd only be a problem with 9 speed jockey wheels and a thinner 10 speed chain (maybe it wouldnt engage the jockey wheels properly?)

Sounds like a badly made piece of shit.

Could get the headtube reamed to make sure it's spot on for a larger seatpost, and buy a larger seatpost.

Defintely an option if you like sitting where your handlebars usually go, or unicycles.

No they wont be as they're for shimano spacing, not compagnolo spacing on the cassette.

Shimano has a certain spacing in the cassette that match the levers used with the mech. Likewise for Campag. Only problem is both spacing is different.

You can also get silly yet useful cassettes with Capag splines but shimano spacing.

Again, involves getting a new cassette and shimano derailleurs instead of campag.

I personally prefere Shimano levers over Campag ergos.

Ambrosio make those cassettes if i remember properly, if you're going down this route, you'll have shimano spaced cassette/shimano mechs/shimano levers, practically all the mechanical bits being shimano, working on campag wheels. Going down the campag route would prob be easier. And better in the long run. Those Ambrosio cassettes arent the greatest. Means all you'll have to do is get the mechs and some cheap Mirage ergos or something.

Holy fuck even got a set of spare handlebars.

Bargain.

Large Objects? Does that mean no wardrobes, dressers, clothes drying stands, tall lamps, sofas etc etc etc. I've seen peoples rooms with so much shit on the floor you trip/fall when not trying gtfo, and this never seems to cause concern to Landlords/ladys.

Awesome! Team Banana raleigh!

Shopping with a Caterham would be awesome. You could use it as an excuse not to bring the wife aswell. Or not to go altogether. You can't come sorry, need to get loads of groceries... GOnna hafta set them beside me. No room.

Holy shit the shopping could be done in 10 minutes (door to door too with the speed of those things).

It's a good thing she's a model then and not a cyclist concidering the lack of bulging thighs.

As for waxing, I thought it was for ease of first aid/comfort more than aero

What length/degree is the carbon stem?

Looks like it's time to ditch my undershorts then...

Did he just say if you wear a pair of boxers below cycling shorts, people will avoid you?

Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat?!

Sure its not a good idea, but, other cyclists will be like, oh fuck, look at him. His balls have another layer between them and the rest of the world, stay the fuck away from him.

She's missing* a whole top. Those are bib shorts, worn underneath jerseys.

And dayum she's awesome.

*Jersey optional in this case.

I dunno but their song didnt even have the words sharks, or wheels in it. Dissapointed.

to put that back to being geared you'll need:

-Shifters (to match deraileur)
-Cables + ends
-Bartape
-New chain (to match the cassette/amount of gears)
-New rear wheel with cassette/freewheel (as stated before, to match your derailleur)
-Possibly a derailleur hanger incase it was taken off (older bikes just have athreaded hole as part of the drop out
-Possibly a new chainset if the double or triple chainset was removed. Maybe just a new chanring if they kept the old cranks.
-If STI shifters there's a possibility you'll also need cable stops on the downtube.

When buying a new rear wheel make sure you get the correct axle length for the frame or else you could be faced with a 120mm axle that you need to squeeze in and if it's a 7 speed cassette or larger (in terms of number of gears) it'll foul the frame. Which is shit.

Nope, never to be honest. Unless it's a band on type shifter.

Those 'washers' sit over the square braze ons and as you say, basically hug the curvature of the frame and you screw the flat bit at the back of the shifter against that, and into the threads in the frame's braze on. There's a little tab washer that goes between the screw/adjuster and the inside of the shifter. Other than that there's not much too it.

Usually the big washer that sits over the braze on/against the frame goes on a certain way, or else your shifter will be pointing in a stupid direction. It can only go on in two different positions anyway so that shouldn't be tough!

Have a look at that. Hopefully it helps (ps I know it's not suntour but most of these are fitted the same)

Dont over extend your current one, leaving tiny amounts of seatpost in concentrates the force in that small area at the top near the welds/clamp area, just buy a longer one and use that, 350mm is quite common. That should be enough.

But... It didnt damage his paint at all? Or wreck his frame because it only reacted with the shitty alloy Miche BB cups... Looks like a residue left from being dipped in the after pic. Which just wipes off. So maybe adding removing alloy BB cups from a steel frame to that list would be a good idea
