I have a set of Centaur shifters of which the shifting internals are knackered, I could gut them and sell them as brake levers?

Just took delivery of this, having a go next monday. There currently is blue Schwalbe rim tape on the rims, I'll probably want to take that off and clean the rims before applying Stan's yellow tape? And planning to inflate with a Topeak Joe Blow Sport II, and take them to work to use the compressor if that doesn't work. Anything I should know before embarking on this adventure?

Yes. And that's why on this frame the chainstay has a pivot at both ends.

You'd think they can't stand by him anymore when he does that, but they never fail to amaze so they just might.

I'm hoping that when the tax reform is in the pocket they'll drop him like a brick.

Seeing this case unfold will probably demonstrate that.

No way, language can be amazing.

I got a pretty good deal on it and it's replacing two other bikes I'm now selling, so it's been a while getting to this bike. And I barely drink, quite a difference when I compare my living expenses to my fellow students.

And yes, Eindhoven! I'm in the Industrial Design bachelor, but halted it for a year to build a solar car. :)

😁

Fixing up my old roadbike to get it roadworthy again, been gathering dust for over a year. Had to drill it out the chainring bolts as the torx sockets were rounded out, and replaced the broken shifters with a set of slightly less broken shifters. Going to gut the left shifter and run it as a 1x10.

We’re such a progressive country. Some idiots even invaded a primary school a couple days back to protest against the school’s ban against “Zwarte Piet”. During school hours, handing out stickers to the kids and everything. Posting shit like this is way too close to supporting those racist and backwards conservatives.

Pretty good deal on a 235, I think.

I did look into its history, but never considered it to be something special. Been my daily bike for about 4-5 years now. :\ It's still in pretty good condition though, so I might turn it into a "nice" bike some day. But for now I don't have the space for another wallhanger, so I'm afraid it will continue to be a winterbike. I do store it in a shed overnight, if that's any consolation.

Excuse the shit pic. Winter-readied my commuter / winter trainer. 24c -> 32c and mudguards.

SKS Commuters were quite okay to put on, haven't done the neatest job but it's fine for now. Did have to file out the slot in the front fender brake nut bracket because it didn't fit, maybe should have just installed #brklss ?

Dredge, but what tyre size are those 650's?

They're shit, don't have adjustability or swappable lenses. Not nearly as good as the 15 dollar Foakleys.

Other way round is more logical, no? Fat tires on small rims for mud, slimmer tires on big rims for gravel?

First pro kit since the pre-green Lampre kit I want to have.

Thoughts on this tubeless kit? This rim tape seems to be easier to install than the tape I'd get with Stan's NoTubes kit, but is it as good?

Oops, not for me. GLWS!

PM!

Would you ship the wheels to the Netherlands? Interested if so.

Ooh, the 650b with big tires look ace. Might start looking out for a second wheel set. What's the biggest tire you can fit on a 700c in your experience? Site mentions 35, but looks like there's more room than that?

Cheers for the heads up but I'd rather find a the right post. Shimmed posts tend to look a bit off, imo.
