@Thrasher doh! I think I've done that to you before!!!!
In the unlikely event i get a sniff at the guards I'll take em

2nd dibs on the mudguards please.

@dangeek when I had my boiler fitted my plumber was working full time for a housing association and they'd done a lot of research on which boilers gave them the least hassle and it was Vaillant. I've now had my Valliant installed for 15 years and I've only had 2 issues. Both issues, it transpires, were the same cause, sort sort of blocked pipe inside the boiler. Had to be drained and manually cleaned, long term fix was a magnaclean.
It's a system boiler with a mega flow so different to a combi.
I think Vaillant have some deals on warranties at the moment, some boilers with 5 years and some with 7 years.
Good luck it is minefield choosing one.

Nice one @BareNecessities I appreciate it. I'm going to try and get out on it a few times before then so will test those pressures.
Are you running a Rohloff?

I know there's a lot variables but here goes, I've just put 2.1 VRedstein Black Panthers on my bike with regular tubes and I'm 11 stone. What sort of pressures approx. should I been running?
Cheers

@BareNecessities, yep that's me. tis a good source of info for R hubs.
Think I need new 16tooth sprocket as its quite nosey, the hub needs a service and if I can I'll get my drop one then it's complete, it'd on flats at the mo'
Cheers

nice one

I wonder if the cups/bearings are different sizes?

what headset is it?

@Skülly offset pad holders only give an extra 3 or 4mm.

only work with regular DP brakes though

If your frame is drilled for DP brakes you can get long drop Tekros 55- 73 mm brakes.

@russmeyer
very nice job.

@Skülly I've just b*llsed my measurements (dont know how) for a 650B conv. numbers are 622-584 = 38 / 2 = 19. you need 19mm more drop in your brakes I think Im going to get around it by using offset pad holders or maybe file the slots a bit, it's only a few mm in my case.

have you got a compression ring in between the top cap and the bearing?

@BareNecessities cool. its gonna be well attended by the looks of it

I'm down for the 24th

completed it, second what scrabble said, should be a "I like cycling" answer.
In my case I don't get a lot of opportunities outside of my commute for cycling so sometimes extend it by taking longer routes.
good luck

I'm in and looking forward to it, missed the last one and determined not to miss this one.
Just finishing my new bike now, a Singular Gryphon, it has temp tyres to get it rolling and I'm now only waiting the proper tyres to arrive.

Potential dibs on VO stem conv, will pm.

I think hope do GXP converters so you can run on Hope BBs.
They don't work very well on Shimano BBs something to do with the top hats or seals on the Shimano BBs.

Hi can I take the 7 speed please. I'll pm with details. Ta.

Can I go 3rd dibs on the magic/Devore wheel pls.

You can put a spacer in instead of cutting down the thread.

I had a timberline for years and loved it good luck.

snap of sole

I have a pair of MTB shoes in blue black, totally unused.
They claim to 8.5 but are more like 7.5 which is why I'm selling them.

£10 plus postage (sorry don't know how that is at present) or I I'm based in E11 and work near Liverpool St so can meet around there.

PM if interested.
