Thanks for the offer but I think it'll be more trouble than its worth, as I don't have the tools to drill them out either.

if you manage to get them off let me know!

Usual dilemma of C spring snapping. Anyone have any unwanted cleats or spare C springs?

Apologies if this has been covered, its been a while since i've been on here! Has anyone tried the knock off Chinese cleats, specifically the C spring? If so, how would you rate it between made of cheese and no noticeable difference to the original?

Hi, what use has that Mach track wheel seen? And are you london based?

Edit half asleep just seen it’s new. Second question still stands.

came back from Japan a couple of weeks ago with a pretty decent haul. my previous experience with japanese whisky here was with the usual NAS stuff which i thought was pretty rubbish and didn't understand the hype. Tried the aged stuff out there and mind blown. hard to track down even out there and pretty pricey. highly recommend going to the actual distilleries as you can try all the age statements in their lines for cheaps. did yamazaki and nikka distilleries and assorted whisky bars to try everything i could and then pissed off the mrs by traipsing around as many liquor stores as shrines! had a really interesting convo with the owner of one of the whisky bars we drank at who was saying how sad he and others he knew were about the distilleries flooding the market with nas at inflated prices to feed the demand. he thinks its going to give japanese whisky a bad name once people wise up and realise they're not drinking great stuff for silly money. there seems to be a knock on trend of new distilleries getting into other spirits like gin and rum instead, which is really exciting. tasted some amazing japanese rums but couldn't find a single bottle in any of the shops.

pming about deda superzero no logos

have they stopped making the old flat style v2 zero cleats? left c spring snapped the other day, have replaced with old right hander for now but thought id get some new cleats for when they die and cant find them anywhere! only the new more expensive walkable ones. if theyve stopped making them anyone got a pair of the older v2 style knocking about?

frame looks like my standard peugeot carbolite do-everything-town-bike...

edit: just looked at mine and this one hasn't got the visible seat stays joining the seat tube. this one is also missing the braze on downtube bosses. otherwise identical, from the one set of bottle bosses to the internal cable routing to the fork crown etc

definitely jis taper cranks. some of those have funny BCDs. worth measuring before you get a chainring...

yup that will be a jis bb. post a picture of the crankset? dont use cottered axle length, will be waaaaaay out! if its a road double being used for single ring up front, and you want to use the outer ring, then you want it pretty close, 110/107 maybe even 103. thats if you are running it to a fixed hub at the back, but then you mention geared set up? there is definitely an element of guesswork involved in trying to marry road cranks to spindle length and chainline.

if SR i bet its JIS...

yup, its looking that way. but always worth seeing who has what lying about in the bottom of a parts bin...

bump before i have to suck it up and buy new

excellent! thanks for the info!

did the bearings you replaced with have rubber or metal seals? how did you get the snap ring out that hold the roller bearing in place?

bump. any luck?

as in barrel adjuster in cable stop is seized? does it move at all?

thanks keep me posted!

running a 1x set up on the town bike, want to run a thumb shifter on the handlebar as im getting tired of the slipping friction shifter currently set up. anyone got a right hand downtube cable stop lurking in their parts bin?

thanks

that might work actually. will send pm
