Thanks. PM me for any further information or if you are interested.

Are you fitting them to down tube braze on fittings or to a band on fitting?

I ask this because the former are usually made for Campag and the early Dura Ace don't fit. I say this from experience.

Interesting read, thanks.

Traditionally square taper BBs had a fixed cup on the drive side and an adjustable cup on the non drive side. This one has adjustable cups both sides. I had one of those in the 80s (not a Phil Wood), it worked fine. I wouldn't worry about it.

The instructions specify a torque of 40 nm but if you haven't got a torque wrench then 'good and tight' will do. Also, it says to use threadlock. I'd ignore that and use copper grease; it will make things much easier when it comes to removing the BB.

Yes, I see that. I think that's to make sure that you screw the cup in the right way round.

Looking at those instructions, it would appear that the cups are meant to protrude abut 5mm from the BB shell. The picture shows that the drive side cup has no flange to rest up against the BB shell (like Shimano) and the non-drive side has no lockring.

Secondly, section 2 says that the BB spindle can be positioned "within a five millimeter band of a “normal” centered position" which suggests that 5mm exposed thread on each side is normal in the centred position.

At least, that's the way I read it.

A picture is worth a thousand words, as they say.

I am trying to understand your problem. Normally, the drive side cup is inserted all the way in, then you screw the non drive side cup but it doesn't matter if it doesn't go in all the way, just tighten it and the lockring will hold it in place.

Do you think you can post some pictures of the BB both in and out of the shell?

For sale are 2 Olympus 35mm film cameras:

The first is an Olympus XA, the aperture priority automatic rangefinder version of the XA range. Complete with A11 flash unit and instructions in original box. Used but in good order. £25 posted

The sec on is an Olympus Mju-1, fully automatic compact camera. No instructions or case, I'm afraid. Used and case is a bit scratched but in working order. £15 posted.

Thanks

It looks like the right size, so push harder.

I believe Chris King make 1" threadless headsets, which will last, and for which you will spend money.

P-clips

I also have an Olympus Mju for sale if your 2nd dibs doesn't get it. Price the same. I'll PM you.

Seeing as bike shops need to sell stuff as much as any other shop, and unsold stock takes up space, I'd say make them an offer.

I bought a bike selling for £650, discounted from £1000, for £400 as it was gathering dust in the shop for a year after making such an offer.

So give it a go, you've nothing to lose.

You've probably got a worn freewheel.

Not sure if this is relevant to your project but the limit screws on Shimano mechs aren't actually Philips but a Japanese standard called JIS. They look practically the same but until I found this out, I always wondered why Phillips screwdrivers just didn't quite fit the limit screws, even though I'd been using them for years. Unfortunately, it's not easy to get hold of these JIS screwdrivers in the UK so Phillips will have to do.

Brick Lane Bikes had an interesting collection of old steel frames and parts for sale last time I was there, many of them Italian. Not sure if selling used jerseys is a viable business model!

Well, that's true. When buyers arranged their own couriers, it was through companies I'd heard of; DHL, Parcelforce etc. If some dodgy one man company turned up, I'd make sure I was paid, and that the buyer took responsibility for the courier.

I'm not exactly sure what problem you are having? I have a sold a few things on eBay when the buyer arranged their own courier. There's not too much difference between this and arranging your own courier - they email you the label, you hand the parcel over to the courier, get a receipt and you can track it as well as the buyer.

Ok, I've downloaded it and plotted a couple of routes that I know well to see what it would do.

First impressions were good, the maps are clear and easy to read, and routes given were sensible. Scrolling was reasonable fast and the elevation profile a nice touch. However, I haven't actually taken on the road yet.

In comparison to Bike Hub, another routing app I use, the maps on your app don't overlay your route with pre-existing National Cycle route, which for me is quite useful for country areas.

Another thing which I don't think your app does, but neither does Bike Hub is the ability to save the route and associated maps onto the phone so that if you don't have Internet access, or don't want to use up mobile data, you can still use the app.

Hope this help.

Ah, here we go:

http://www.bikerumor.com/2015/08/13/patent-trolling-rotor-application-shows-single-lever-one-way-mechanical-and-hydraulic-shifting/

I see the article doesn't actually say how hydraulic shifting works. A hydraulic line is very good a pushing but not so great at pulling so it would be interesting to see how downshifting works.

I have exactly the same fork in a steel road bike and a standard external (Hope) headset. It fits fine.
