  • Task rabbit?

  • ^^ I'll take a look thanks

    ^ I'll take a look as well too thanks

  • Task Rabbit it is

    Task Rabbi was something entirely different

    As was Grinder

    Veronica Moser was blocked by web filter

  • lol

  • What would be my best approach for crimping chain stays in situ?
    Vise or hammer?
    I need a bit of space both for tyre and cranks.

  • Just got a chain ring, some of the teeth are slightly shorter than others, I know it's supposed to be like this but just wondered why?

  • smoother gear shifting

  • I figured but it doesn't seem to follow a regular pattern large tooth to small so wasn't sure

  • it doesn't seem to follow a regular pattern large tooth to small so wasn't sure

    You have to look at it in conjunction with the ramps and pins and the clocking relative to the crank, and from the point of view of the chain as it gets lifted off the little ring and caught by the big one.

  • You can switch gear anywhere through the crank rotation though no? So with this in mind, how do you tell which way to install a ring relative to the spider? Assuming that the area with the smaller teeth is supposed to be in a set position relative to the arms

  • Isn't there a pin?

    This needs to be adjacent to the crank to catch dropped chains.

  • with this in mind, how do you tell which way to install a ring relative to the spider?

    There is usually some kind of marking to indicate correct clocking.

  • You can switch gear anywhere through the crank rotation though no?

    You can try, but the positioning of the lifting pins will actually make it happen at specific points.

  • Ah okay perfect. Thanks guys @mdcc_tester @Scilly.Suffolk
    Always happy to learn something new

  • Great. Thanks. Just what I needed.

  • 1"x 24tpi BSC. The thread form is cycle-specific, don't try to wing it with a 1" x 24 UNF...

    This is advertised as being for bike forks: would you expect BSC to be specified on the die, ie assume UNF if it doesn't say otherwise?

  • would you expect BSC to be specified on the die

    It would be nice, but the manufacturer's mark matches these BB taps so they obviously made cycle tools.

    Also, I was wrong earlier, UNC/UNF/UNEF threads are 60° flank angle, but 1" UNEF are 20TPI anyway so anything 1"×24TPI is almost certainly BSC

  • I've got a couple of 1" threaded forks that need thread extending but don't want to pay lbs £20 a fork to do so.

    If you're not sorted, I saw this on eBay.

    (Also see above.)

  • Also, I was wrong

    :o

  • I want to register a domain name.

    It is currently registered (expires today), being used by some photographer.

    What's the best way to go about acquiring the domain?

    Gamble and wait for it to lapse after it's grace period etc?

    Use one of those domain name preordering services?

  • Why aren't they using a helicopter to follow the Paris-Roubaix this year?

  • Ha! As soon as I posted that, they went to the helicopter.

  • Anyone here an Edinburgh local, or local enough to recommend a decent pub central/near the Playhouse?

    Pubs I know are all on the South side of town. And because this is so central, don't want to end up at a Weatherspoons (Brexit fucks).
