I know, but it's also difficult to prove you conform to 14(a) with cross tops.
If people get away breaking 14(a), why not try breaking 14(b) instead/as well?
(trollalolalol ;-D )

Cross top levers aren't CTT legal either (but if Tadros & co. get away with it...).
I vote single bar end brake lever and doubliser :-)

Readers'?
@tommmmmmm & myself chilling after our first 50 on Saturday

Nope, will be awesome. 3 cross DS, radial NDS with the NDS spokes entering the rim between each pair of DS spokes. Just make sure the metal on the NDS hub flange isn't too knackered to deal with the stress of radial lacing.

Might not be though! No substitute for tapping the offending bearing out and measuring it.

Rear hub looks very similar to Novatec F482SB

I concur with Tester, but would like to see a pic to gauge their age to give you more info...

I'm not keen on Surly the brand but I really like this. Nice one!
Time to add decals of the following sponsors: the AA, Yellow Pages, Caterpillar/CAT, DHL, Chupa Chups & Shell :-)

Thanks :-)

What fork is that?

I'm in exactly the same situation, for the same event.
I'm also a particularly sweaty bastard so need plenty to drink.
Bought a cheap 2l 'BTR' branded hydration bladder (£7, incl. a cleaning kit, after discount code and arrived free the next day) and sewed a little adjustable webbing neck strap to it to facilitate putting it on/keeping it from sliding down my front. Trimmed the hose down a bit and works very well, no neck irritation (under skinsuit with a Wiggle sleeveless mesh base layer), but just ordered a 90deg valve from eBay because the straight one requires a longer hose. Was going to test it out properly at the WVCC 25, with about 700ml inside, before it was cancelled.
Also got a Shimano Pro 'Aerofuel' rear saddle bottle mount thing, which is just going to have tools, Pit Stop and a rear light attached to it.

Amazing effort @skinny, congrats!

Oh cool, yes it was!
And yes, I shall hopefully see you there! I hoped to use today's 25 as 'training' for the 50, but now not sure where the extra miles are going to come from, haha.

Looks class in black

Beautiful (if gusty) weather in oop north today for a J course 25, but it was cancelled due to traffic congestion related to a couple of M6 crashes and some VW meet in Tatton Park.
Yet again shafted by Audi wankers! :-P

Are they rose joints where it attached the rear of the bike?

Grasp it with both hands

Embrace the stack once again

Conti SS tubes also aren't too reliable. Have used for many hours on an indoor velodrome no probs (which in hindsight was a bad idea) but managed to flat on the 3 mile ride between Chorley train station and some hill climb I rode last year, in the dry, in July (with Conti SS tyres, that are pretty good at resisting flats).

I think clearance can vary quite a bit from batch to batch, so you might be lucky. Best to try. What crank/bb?

My old one just about clears a 53, but flex means ring rubs the chainstay when you really go for it.

fair play

Sell the Planet-X, build the Dolan up with a de-blinged street spec, and spec-out the Cinelli as your fair weather/pose/race bike.
EDIT brake hole and bottle bosses on the Bolt could be useful riding to and from HHV.

A Ceramicspeed naming jibe, and also potentially a parodical seatstay sticker :-)
Just PTFE (as dusted on their fancy one) so not even ceramic, ha (frauds!), and probably even less lubricious.
Been playing with and testing wax mixes for a couple of months, and now think I'm happy with the current formula. There's PTFE in there too (among other things); standard Friction Facts recipe, but with a few tweaks.
Next I need to make a 'Squirt Lube' style top-up liquid to help prolong life between reflows and reapplications. Might save time and just buy some Squirt lube, but no DIY = no fun.
Chain is a KMC z510HX.
Cost per treated chain (including chain, excluding time/labour) is probably about £7.50.

More excellent work, thanks for posting!
I'll probably be going down the Novatec route due to cost, but this (with shortened axle) certainly does look like the ultimate option. Cheers!
