Any question answered...

I like the look of the cx hammer.
Lok like shoes, neoprene sock.

What could go wrong??

Do the police still have a Brick Lane stolen bikes team and how can I get in touch with them directly?

I stongly suspect my pilfered Cannondale will make an appearance tomorrow morning.

I've got some Middleburn RS7 square taper cranks and one of their triple spiders. I want to run this as a double... am I better putting rings on the inner+mid or mid+outer tabs? Front mech is run on friction shifter rather than STI if that makes any difference...

Depends what ratios you want.

Either 42/28 if I use mid/inner or 44/30 if I'm using the outer/mid, probably prefer the latter as it'll work out slightly cheaper for me

If you go for outer/mid you might be able to replace your archaic 4-spline BB with a similar one but narrower, for a narrower Q, if you have clearance.

Plenty of clearance and already have a narrower BB I've been meaning to fit, seems like it should work out alright!

Do front road brake calipers have one arm longer than the other? if so why?

Can anyone recommend (i.e. they have used it!) a flowershop that delivers, based in Lewisham/Brockley etc?
Thanks!

You Don't Bring Me Flowers in Hither Green are amazing. Only deliver quite locally though...

nice one - was looking at them and a couple of others. thanks!

Petalon are good (they deliver flowers by bike) but only central-ish.

I think someone on here recommended them to me but I've used them a few times now.

Cheers, I went with the Hither Green place (in a rush!) - sounded good on the phone.

Inexpensive USB lights? We seem incapable of having two sets of functioning lights - just bought another set and the first set has gone missing. Worse than socks.

can you run speedplays brakeless?

More to be seen, than light up the road, but small and easy to attach to bike.

Are you sure you've got it mounted straight?

One arm is longer in that dual-pivot brakes don't have arms that are exactly equal in shape:

Is that what you mean?

It looks to be mounted straight,

@fizzy.bleach it just seems that one pad is always sat considerably lower than the other, both on their lowest points

?!

Maybe take a picture and put it up here. Are the pads identical? Does it look like the pic I posted above?

Lezyne micro drive come up pretty cheap on ebay

Where would I get linseed oil in London? Would love it if I could get it near N22

A builders merchant, I'd guess

with shimano 600 is there a difference in either of the derraileurs if you have dt shifters or sti's (brifters)? many thanks

Yeah, just make sure you're fully clipped in before going downhill, say Swains Lane, otherwise you might have to crash into the wall to slow down.

(they're fine, but can be a pain to clip into)
