Got this off the forum a few months ago, works great but ended up getting a new phone and have been using that so time this goes to a new home. More info on original page:

Thanks

For the same number & pattern of spokes with same diameter, the tensions of a 26" wheel should approx match those of a 700c, right? (ie if I have a good wheel I want to 'copy'.) Thanks.

Interested in the seatpost as need something inline, have pm'd a few queries, thanks.

Thanks @Skülly that's good to know and appreciate the advice, cheers.

Great, thank you!

32h Bitex RAF12 to a 26" rim - problems?

Very much a newbie so any advice, much appreciated. I wanted to build a lightweight 26" wheelset and starting with a Bitex RAF12 found cheap online. Now wondering if this will work: the 16holes on that narrow diameter flange look crowded. Spokepro's calculator says "spokehead clearance" of 0.1mm (with 3cross). Is that do-able? 2cross comes out as 1.9mm clearance - a better choice? Will it make a much weaker wheel? Thanks.

hello, I'd like this if still available, will pm now, thanks.

The saddlebag if still going please..

It does indeed, thanks. Have pm'd.

Hi, I'm interested, but find bike shoes a bit of a guessing game size-wise... 46 often ok, are they particularly wide/narrow? Popping out but will pm in an hour if ok.

Great stuff, thanks everyone. This is exactly what I needed to get going, the help's really appreciated.

Nice, will check it out. Bought a front xt hub off you a few months ago and it's lovely, btw, ta! My first wheel I built, I'm very affectioned with it.

Looking to do some cable housing shopping for a new build. Previous attempt at economising didn't work and the plastic outer wrap on some Clarks crap I bought is degrading already.

So, are there any easy answers for good housing without being £££?

Thanks

Gravelkings please, will pm now

Sorry, prefer not to post at the moment, especially rack-size stuff.

Someone's pm'd locally about the rack so waiting to hear from them.

Thanks, will message now.

Edit, now sorted thanks to @Zebra_Cyclist

Looking for something...

• for a couple of nights in 1 spot (i.e. doesn't need to be super fancy lightweight, could be 5kg, say)
  
• with at least 2.10mx2.10m sleeping area
  
• bit of a porch
  
• that doesn't pack down into a circle
  
  

Thanks for looking.

Got it, cheers and your 3rds @packet

1 26" 32h touring wheelset with Schwalbe Kojaks £65 Sold
Great condition, 26" 559 rim brake wheels, handbuilt by Mark Pollard of Spokesman Wheels. Silver Zac Rigida 2000 rims with DB spokes to Deore LX hubs, 32h front and back which is 135oln. I bought off the CTC site about 16 months ago, didn't use the rear at all and maybe only 400miles on the front. One of the tyres has a bit more wear than the other.

2 Decent but tired 26" 36h touring wheelset £Free Taken
Silver Sun CR 18 rims on Shimano LX M570 hubs, 36h front and back. Rims are dying (especially rear, front maybe has a bit left). Rear bearings need replacing and are too tight as they are. In spite all that, such a solid wheelset might go to supermarket and back for a while yet and with new rims/bearings on rear, ready to go heavy touring somewhere nice. Happy to de-rim spokes and hubs if easier to pick up.

3 Pair 26" x 1.75 (559-42) folding Paselas Sold
1 good, 1 great condition. £25

4 Specialized MTB shoes, free Taken
They say UK13/EU47 but that’s nonsense. I’m a wide UK10 and they were roomy but comfortable

5 On-one Geoff bars £15. Bought on here but never fitted, cut to 66cm. Sold

6 Tortec Velocity £10, again bought here but went for black rack instead Sold

7 Vittoria Pave’ 622 x 27, £10, bought on here last summer then used for 50 miles.

8 Hump backpack cover. Free.

Hi, thanks for replying - milk kefir, yes. Hackney but happy to move about.

Has anyone got kefir grains they'd be happy to donate/sell/provide for forum donation? Or can point to an online supplier they've had success with? Much appreciated, thanks!

Ok, I'll pass, good price though!

Hi, interested in the tyres - what model are they? Folding or wired? Thanks

Hi, interested if @TotalShanner decides to pass. Will message now, thanks.
