Any question answered...

help.
my transmission has become squeeky as fuck. i'm pretty sure it's the chainring bolts considering i rattled loose all 5, losing 2.
i'm using these on this crankset:

is anyone using the KCNC bolts without trouble?
campag's own are £45...i'm actually considering spending that.

From the KCNC blurb: "Will not fit older square taper Campag cranks", ie they're for Ultra Torque.

The Campag bolts you've linked to are also UT.

Your cranks are 2002/3 or 2004-2006 square taper (the catalogue part numbers change between the two periods, but I don't know what the difference is, if any).

Which thread locking compound are you using with those?

legend.

see "older square taper" could mean two things (according to forums online): the pre-2011 UT carbon square taper (my crankset) and pre-2004 square taper. i have chainring bolts for the latter and the circumference is too large.
the kcnc bolts are the right circumference, so when they arrived i thought "magic!".
i'm now convinced they're wrong: they're bottoming out against each other. once fully tightened, tightening one side whilst NOT holding the other causes them to rotate. balls.

so "older square taper" means one of three standards:
wide pre-2004
narrow pre-2011 UT
narrow pre-2011 sq. taper
?

If your bolts are pre-2004 (and don't fit), then your cranks are 2004/5/6 square taper (not UT) and you want the bolts with the part numbers in the second diagram above.

maartjehoogland.nl/ this has some nice stuff

Kind of a cool idea; a world champion belt.
Someone should steal the idea and rework it into something sturdier that could hold a U-lock.

I've just heard someone refer to themself as a qualified spiritual healer. Is there a charlatan qualification too?

Speak to Madison or Sportline.

for a tenner I'll make you a certificate with whatever you want on it? shiny foily bits and everything.

Tempted.

He's already got one of them, in a little leather wallet too.

I'd like a word with the qualifier.

I was wondering where that had gone, have you finished with it now?

Thanks Ed, spoke to Madison and got the part number. Then spoke to Cyclelab and they're getting it in for me. £6 :-) turns out the part is actually made by Saracen.

Gave mine back a few years ago....

anybody able to recommend a good printer that can do small runs of business cards from PNG images? Would rather not have to deal with Vistaprint or the like.

London based would be ideal

I need someone with an enve seat post to make some measurements for me. I have been waiting on enve hardware, but it doesn't appear to be coming anytime soon, so would like to copy it. Does anyone have an enve seatpost (doesn't matter what size), and a pair of verynears and would be happy to present the former to the latter?

Yeah, I'll try and dig out my callipers if you want. Mine is 27.2 and the least setback one they do, it looks to be consistently 27.2 for the whole length of it.

Just got a frame and it has a read derailleur hanger but no cable guides, how do I run the cable?

Full length outer plus cable ties?
