I've been buying beans and getting them ground from a few average places for my stovetop, but obviously this won't make the grade now. Apart from Monmouth, who else is roasting quality beans? Any good mail order places?

What size cone spanners do I need for novatech track hubs?

What's the tt length? 62cm cc or c-t?

Cheers guys and girls for the great organisation, really enjoyed my first TNRC. See you again soon.

I'll be riding at the back anyway, so suits me just fine :)

I'll be running 46/18 for my first TNRC and hoping I can keep up, and will be applying some sort of cover to my exposure flare, as it's pretty bright.

open sports aren't really a wide rim, they're pretty standard?

how wide are the risers?

I've bought 25c randos from Tokyo Fixed recently.

Also I really like the panaracer ribmos, great tyre and last well. bit pricey but made in japan quality, you pay for it.

I'll take the wheels mate.
Pming now.

Where's the closest bike shop to Ladbroke grove where I can get an italian thread BB chased, faced and installed?

I've run doubles for ages with GR9s, they work just fine. yes, only the double cage holds the strap in place but with nice stiff straps it's not a problem.

zipps and lightweights? lucky man.
lovely frame too.

3rd dibs EAI, work in London Bridge too so can pickup asap.

BTW cheers for all the info on here. I've just placed an order with Harry Rowland for a pair of Ambrosio Excellight 28/28 on Novatec hubs, £274 posted.

my girlfriend has exactly the same build from Harry, they're really nice.

uhhhhhhhhh I want this.

shit phone pic sorry

I asked in the any questions thread, not realising there was a thread for this. So I'll ask again. I'm not an audiophile, I listen to music on my tinny laptop speakers. But I'm starting to think about getting something a little bit more decent, but not dropping huge amount of money on it.

I want a system that will easily play music (ideally from my ipad or laptop), will take the sound from my TV, and my playstation 3.

So I was thinking something like:

Samsung HT-D5530 5.1ch 3D Blu-ray Smart Hub Home Cinema: Amazon.co.uk: Electronics

What do people think. I know you can spend thousands one good audio, but it should be ok right?

no, no no.

You don't need all that digital crap. Spend your budget on the best integrated amp and (2)speakers your can afford. It will have enough inputs for all your devices and sound much, much better.
eg. I've just pulled the basics from sevenoaks,

Or alternatively look second hand for some great deals, but I can't stress enough to avoid cheap home cinema stuff.

I am about to move from my long used spr-d to something they actually still make shoes for.
Was looking at the Look Keo 2 graphite pedals. Anyone had any experience of these?

I love my keo2max, so would assume the carbon version was much the same. easy to adjust and bombproof.
Go for the red cleats and get some cleat covers as they wear quickly if you need to walk on gravel or something.
