  • Cheers for all the recommendations.

    I need to carry a tool that can work with my Atomic22 bits, for this I use the Ratchet Rocket Lite, which is a nice multi tool to have:

    Shame I wasn't aware of this version at the time:

    I think I'll just go for the stripped down Topeak "Super Chain Tool" to compliment my existing Ratchet Rocket Lite kit.

  • Condor were selling their branded one for less than £40.

  • This is what I have http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B000RO1ZCG/ Seems reasonable but I've never tested it to see if it's accurate so can't say for sure.

  • Apparently it's got the certificate of calibration but some mixed reviews...

    @andyp is it likely to just be a rebranded one with a price hike?

    Anyone tried the wiggle lifeline wrench?

    Any reason why it'll be a bad idea?

  • http://www.condorcycles.com/products/condor-torque-wrench

    it's on discount this weekend, and they do 'click and collect' for free

    edit: yep, looks exactly like the wiggle one

  • Actually, looks more like the wiggle 'professional' wrench which is £50. Maybe not such a bad deal. Although whether it's any better than the wiggle £25 one..?

  • To be quite frank, I usually use them even on 11 speed as longi got a quick link to join them up again.

    I find the park tool version is the least likely to go wrong.

  • I have this, it's very good:

  • Can you run a track frame with a coaster Hub?

    If so, what hub would you recommend?

  • Most would fit.
    I'd recommend an old F and S eingang.

  • Whether the stays would hold up to the forces would be your call.

  • I've had a BBB branded one of those since ... before 2013 which is as far back as Wiggle remembers. Its fine, and haven't broken anything, but also am fairly light so tend to under-torque things anyway.
    Caveat emptor though, tbh

  • I shelled out on the Halford top bollocks one months back, about £80....I haven't used it yet. Probably never will :(

    The one dammit posted is excellent. £13 ebay.

    DO NOT BUY THE SILVER DRAPER ONE it is complete crap. There are loads of reviews about them where they just work in one direction.

  • Torque wrenches on special at planet x at the mo.

  • Looking to buy a Taxc Vortex second hand. It has Ant+ but it is not the 2015 'smart' version.
    Any chance it can still hook up to a smart phone?

  • Cheers.
    Seems my Iphone doesn't. But thinking of upgrading to an Xperia M4 Aqua anyways.
    Which (AFAIK) does have Ant+. But then I still need to buy an extra dongle from Taxc?

    But with the newer Vortex Smart you just need Bluetooth right? Seems like much less faff and possibly worth the price difference.

    Unless it's under £100 I'd really advise you to swerve this and get the smart version.

  • This style of hinge/arm, what's it called? Like a hinge but stiff so that it can support the weight of the head and the cables run through the centre. Doing my head in.

  • did CK ever do 1" threadless headsets in 'gold' colour?

  • Read that the PX ones are crap, ended up going for the M:Part torque wrench which appears identical to the BBB, Condor and Pro ones, but a bit cheaper than Condor and BBB and significantly cheaper than Pro.

  • Knuckle joint?

  • Bingo.

    Annoyingly that's what I originally thought, so I googled it on my phone and got nothing.

    Googled it now on the laptop and got loads. Ta.

  • Where can I find 5-4mm step down ferrules for top tube brake cable?
    I think Wheels Mfg do some but can't find them in stock anywhere, apart from Universal Cycles who want to change $40 postage.

  • What frame should i get to race on next year? £700 max and not black
