Just a quick post to ask your guys experience with inner tubes, is it worth spending more on inner tubes or are cheaper ones just as reliable? Any recommendations for a long valve presta tube?

The hole is drilled at an angle and the cable housing just threads through tightly, I'm going to thread a slightly larger piece of rubber tubing to make the housing extremely snug which should keep any water out.

For cable routing, I did include this in the post

Thanks! :)

Just fitted inner tubes into my new rims and the valves too short, are these the ones I need instead http://www.wiggle.co.uk/continental-quality-road-long-valve-inner-tube/

Forgot to add the photos

So I was given this Raleigh bike that I have dated back to 1974 but unfortunately can't find any info about. As the bike had no real value I wanted to strip it down and upgrade the parts to make a reliable everyday bike that I can use to ride both for fun and for purpose. My original plan was pretty nooby and was to strip the frame and clear coat (looks cool but not practical at all). Then I realise this was a stupid idea for a steel frame. As I was going to carry on running single speed I decide to clean up the frame and remove hangers and lugs although I was running brakes. So I drilled the required holes to internally route the cables. These are pictures before and after stripping. I understand this build wont be everyones cup of tea but this is a build to produce a reliable bike with modern parts to ride everyday. I'm a massive fan of rebuilding gorgeous old frames with appropriate parts but this frame really wasn't that nice so I wasn't really bothered. I am interested in building up a older frame with appropriate parts and groupset in the future but only when I can afford to do it well.

So far I've got a Shimano R-501 wheel set with single speed converter, Shimano Brake Callipers (unbranded ones, will probably replace them soon), YMC Chain, Deda Tape, Vittoria Zaffiro Tires, ITM Drop Bars and Quill Stem and a Primo One Bolt Lever (looking for another to match the lever). For now I'm going to use the original crankset and saddle/seatpost although I will replace the crankset and seat in the future when I can afford it. Only trouble I've got with the seatpost is that its a 23.8mm seatpost and I can not find one anywhere! Do you guys recommend using the original headset and BB and just replacing bearings if needed or purchasing new ones? Frame is going in to be sprayed soon and then Im going to rebuild. All the parts are black so Im thinking a silver or white frame. Suggestions/photos welcome!

Im fairly new to the forum so I don't know if this has been suggested already or even if this post is in the right place but I thought that a good addition to everyones profiles would be a rating system similar to eBay so we can give good feedback to someone after we have purchased something from them to give other people confidence when buying/selling from/to someone on the forum.

Looking for a Black 700c Wheelset for under £60!
Black Seat Post looking for a 23.8mm (I know its a big ask)
Pedals any colour, with clips.
Will need to be delivered as Im not in the London area currently but I will pay postage!
Thanks a lot in advance!

not patronising at all, you helped me a lot! Ive measured the spindle width and its a 145mm but could i replace it with a short spindle aslong as it clears the chain stays? would something like this be suitable? http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/shimano-un55-square-taper-bottom-bracket/rp-prod71369

And another question, how do I get the BB out? Do I need a tool as I can't find a tutorial online

I need help! I have a raleigh frame with this bottom bracket. Im looking to buy a new bottom bracket to give the frame some new life but I have no idea what bottom bracket is compatible.

Im looking for some Black Quill Stem and Black 25.4mm Drop Bars.
Not looking for super expensive.

No I mean pedals with clips, it will be my runaround bike so I'd prefer to have clips as its easier to ride to the gym ect.

which ones are the Forgie's?

Favourite build I've seen on here so far! I love it!

DO you have pictures and how much are you looking for? Thanks for your feedback man
