Any question answered...

I had a road rear wheel totally collapse under me and I think it was because of rim wear.

At the seam, totally folded in towards the rim... Wasn't going that fast, but happened fast enough for the derailer to hit the ground and bend the hanger.

I was (and am again) well over 17.5stone with an excessive amount of luggage.

If they don't want the hassle of airbnb, think @OldSkoolRacer had his parents stay at the Victoria http://victoriainnpeckham.com/home.html

@withered_preacher you're correct I weighed an ounce at birth. You dont claim 5 pounds anymore sorry. Seriously considering a left bollock removal so when I procreate my offspring won't turn into a bearded hipster creative

Bit what if they hit a left ovary egg?

yeah very very good point,
hadnt thought of that

Why is only 1 team using SRAM this year and no one using Zipp wheels?

SRAM have now established themselves, so don't need to spend as much money on pro teams as before?

There's also reports that FSA will launch a electronic groupset this year and both Tinkoff-Saxo and Etixx-Quickstep will ride on it, so they've started the season without a groupset sponsor.

That and they probably get better eyeballs per dollar in the domestic scene.

is the gusset lil chap chain guide at £25 really the cheapest of these small size chain guides?

If you don't need the guide on both sides of the chain this one is cheaper and well regarded.

BB mounted £16.99

ST mounted £19.99

Isnt Shimano an established brand too? Seems strange .. maybe just waiting for the wireless thing to be launched for more sponsorship next year or something

I've read about FSA; looks interesting.

TS, MrE, Stevep and Laner, many thanks for your suggestions on previous page. Will transmit to my cousin / look into it...

I made one from a reflector bracket for the inside of my chainring and the chain still falls off the other side.

I just ordered one of the gusset ones anyhow as the Bikemongerer sells them, though it pains me to spend more than £5 on anything made by gusset

It will pain you even more when the chain comes off. I've got one, with a proper single ring, and I've had the chain off a couple of times

ugh...dont tell me that!! Do I need a narrow wide + clutched rear mech then?

One or the other. Or possibly both, depending on what you are doing.

hi -
wondering if these brake pads:

Will work with these canti brakes?

http://www.wiggle.com/shimano-ultegra-br-cx70-cyclo-cross-cantilever-brake/?sku=5360453677

Depends on the length of the cartridge. Those do look to be taking normal road ones.

yeah looks like it but can't tell - don't wanna order the wrong ones

I have them, they take normal road pads.

Cheers mate

Yep true story, they're really nice rooms too!
