Never use the crappy ring supplied with the inner tube. It's a pointless bit of turd that only complicates matters.

Specialized tubes are known for splitting on the seams. Conti/Swchalbe/Michelin tubes are good. Bontrager are a bit unreliable in my experience.

Also, your LBS cut your steerer too short.

I get the feeling my guess would be too obvious

Do you see rep/nerg from people you have on ignore?

The egg obviously. How else you you think dinosaurs reproduced?

Just wrap everyone in bubblewrap

That last bit cracked me up.

Nice apart from wheel size.

You can still get post mount pads yes, but why use retro technology when there are easier and better ways to do things.

Also due to the design of two parallel plates making up the caliper they have a tendency to squeak due to the vibration. Yes, single piece cast/machined caliper squeak but the tolerances are bigger so the pad doesn't have to be positioned 100% accurate which will then change as the pad wears.

Losing it with someone in Russian will almost always be more effective in Russian than in Welsh.

This is true. People are merely confused when shouted at in Welsh

Tektro are the best value for money. Depends how much you want to spend.

Frogglegs are still made using a 20+yr old design. You're better off getting the Tektro CR 720 which have the spring adjustment and modern pad mounting and have the same if not better clearance than the froggleg

Hats, what's your thinking on returning it on Sunday? If it's a case of not wanting to drive through rush hour on a Monday etc., could you drop it off on the Sunday anyway, then ride up to the hire place on Monday to drop off the keys?

Do this. I managed to sort out an agreement with my local place that I could just post the keys through the door. They're not actually supposed to do it but they were nice people and for some reason they thought they could trust me.

It's fucking great, I love it. No more sweating while doing nothing.

Apparently lowering the car to the bumpstops makes it feel like you're "driving on rails". Which I guess is true because I've never had a comfortable or fast train ride

Furry muff.

A shame because that's a nice clean example of the topaz blue.

^^ Annoying that they don't even give a price 'from £xx' So that you know what to expect. Gebhardt rings are good though

Does James have to mention his girlfriend at any given opportunity?

Depends what he's after. You can have pretty, light and and that good. Or Shimano which work and are quite pretty, but most of all functional

You have to get the image url not the url of the full page. There's a thread about it if you utfs

Here-

How difficult are Shimano 600 headsets to replace? I remember hearing about them being rather low stack so people kept finding that the steerer was too short to use on 90% of other headsets.

My crown race is cracked so it's going to need replacing soon. What are the chances that I'd be able to find a replacement crown race and just swap the bearings?

Go for Di2 instead or the Sram equivalent. Then you can have little buttons by the brakes

if your knees problems are so sever you can't use any other brand of pedal should you still be riding fixed gear?

Sever the knees. Problem solved.
