Any question answered...

Can you recommend a thread size?

Fucking moronic anti-shouting script won't let me just write M6

Thanks!

Looking for a quill - ahead converter that uses a standard 1 1/8" ahead stem cap.

A lot of the ones that use a cap (rather than a plastic bung with the bolt head hidden inside) look like they use an m6 type size bolt rather than the m5 or m8 instead of m6? You see what I mean anyway.

Edit, I think the BBB bhp-20 fulfils my criteria, anyone care/able to confirm?

@Fox - try Twice the Siren on Lower Marsh, it's a womenswear and gift shop but chains are pretty unisex. There is also a jewellery shop at the Waterloo end but I've never been in.

You can get a nice silver chain for £30. My favourite chains tend to come from the sort of shops that sell inexpensive slightly scruffy silver/semi-precious jewellery. I've even got a surprisingly nice one from Traidcraft but that sort of thing's a bit but and miss. The other places to try are jewellery supplies shops - they will have a range lengths of standard silver chains in different weights, but you might not get anything with a particularly nice shape of links or fastening. There's a beads shop just off Brewer St (behind Glasshouse Stores) and one in Covent Garden, can't remember which street.

Asthmatic you say?

For switches that don't have POE? It's pretty normal to have either a POE injector or a seperate port where you can attach an adapter.

The BBB bhp-20 is an ahead steerer tube extender not a quill -> ahead adapter I'm afraid.

Has anyone here ridden both the 60 and 120 tpi versions of the Clement Strada LGG and can comment on any perceptible difference?

I could do that, or @Velocio could just tweak the script to allow all-caps in posts below a specified length, e.g. 5 or fewer characters = common abbreviation, 6 or more = shouting. That would allow short responses like FTFY and UTFS to be properly capitalised without making users jump through coding hoops.

I'm sure he has better things to do.

But it'll do the same job won't it?

It's 22.2mm OD at the bottom so will fit inside a 1" steerer, I think the things that look like headset spacers make it up to 25.4 which is standard 1 1/8" steerer od.

The BBB website said something slong the lines of "compatible with threaded and threadless systems".

On campag cranks does the L stand for crank length?

Sorry clearly wasn't thinking straight when I replied first!

To re-answer: yes you can use a standard 1 1/8" top cap with them. Not that it should have any effect if you're running a quill but the allen bolt they (used to) give with those was barely long enough to meet the threads in the larger bolt it screws in to making setting preload on an ahead a real pain.

As an aside I thought those BBB extenstions come in two variants? A version with 22.2mm OD and then spacers that have a 25.4mm OD, or a version with 25.4mm OD and spacers with 26.8mm OD. So the 22.2mm OD lower end would fit in the 1" steerer but the 25.4mm spacers would then be equal to a standard 1" steerer OD ? So you'd either need to use a 1" ahead stem or a shim and 1 1/8" stem. All of which is easily done of course and superfluous to your original question.

L = left.

The figure after is the crank length.

Yes (or rather "lunghezza").

those must be two left cranks then SS, cos andyp never makes mistakes

Yeah there's the bhp-20 22.2-25.4 and the bhp-21 25.4 - 26.8.

I reckon I can always cut the thing down a bit if it's too long and yeah, my mistake, 25.4 is 1" ahead od, my bad. Shim it will be.

i tried to UTFS but Ive had no luck finding a thread I'm looking for yet, I remember a few years back a forum member built a very detailed replica of one of Obree's bikes, anyone know where that is?

This is the guy that built it.

There was no separate thread back then, so it's scattered throughout Current Projects Chat and miscellany
