Any question answered...

I've got another question in the meantime.

Does anybody know if it's safe to ride fixed and skid on these master links?

great. thats the one! many thanks!

Im looking to get a spoke tension meter and truing stand. With the pound doing well are there any shops on the continent likely to be cheaper than somewhere in the UK? I only really know rose and they only have an very expensive tension meter.

I don't see how you'd get enough compression for it to pop without the chain just pivoting out of the way.

Fit a brake just in case.

Haven't checked for you, but http://www.bike24.com/ and http://www.bike-discount.de/en?currency=3&delivery_country=190 are the two I'd try in Germany.

I'd check cnc-bike.de they have some mad sales.

@mdcc_tester @Murphys_Law Cheers chaps will have a look.

Depends how slack your chain is! But I'd guess it would fall off before uncoupling.

What has on this brake broken just now?

@fussballclub on the right the threaded bit should have a bolt in it?

Not on a BR-6600/6700, the bolt goes in from the back and is locked by a grub screw in that threaded hole, plus an orthogonal one in the top of the arm.

one end of the spring has come free?

Cable screw somehow was loose. You never stop learning.

But how do I repair the rear caliper that is not releasing anymore?

I think I got it the spring is stuck in the spring bush.

Cheers, wasn't sure it'd be that simple!

Cinelli 1A and Cinelli 2A use the same handlebar clamp bolt right?

Anyone wrapped a frame in vinyl before? Any tips? Or any threads i can see that might help me out?

speak to @dimi3 or @pooface

Thanks ,ate.

I'v seen @dimi3's one... flat black wrap to hide his PX logos... that's standard.

I'm wrapping a whole frame in ridiculous camo... wanna know if anyone knows how to get a clean finish in etc...

I shall reach out too @pooface.

Have you not seen my cross bike before it got killed by a tree?

OH SHIT!
I saw it crushed on instagram I think?

You got a thread about how you did it?

No thread, I just did it.

Measure twice, cut once. Heat gun or a hair dryer would help to stretch and make the wrap more flexible around awkward bits.

What bike?

Look like a Genesis Vapour.
