  • Is there a way to respace a 120mm Novatec Track hub to 130/135mm?

  • Outside SEATING is tricky. As @Howard says, Porterhouse has it, but it's often busy early doors, so the bouncers might not let you into the seating bit with a biek.

  • Porterhouse often has fairly militant bouncers. You'd probably only get away with that if it was pretty empty.

    The Harp maybe, there's standing in the alley next to/behind it.

    Or the Wellington at the top of Waterloo Bridge, that's got a bit of an outside seating bit. That's probably what I'd go for.

  • I'd grade that punnage as coarse

    I guess you have to be hardcore tarmac the audience laugh at road gags

  • I was going to chippings with a pun, but I'll leave it.

  • Somewhere to go for a beer around Covent Garden where there is outside seating so I can have my bike next to me?

    Lowlander has a few tables outside and good beer. Whether you'd actually be able to get one of those tables is a completely different matter.

  • Just received this. Nos mavic open 4cd, the gap between the join is pretty big, is it okay or not?

  • Shit

  • the gap between the join is pretty big, is it okay or not?

    It's fine, there's about a million tons[citation needed] of circumferential compression load on the joint when the wheel is built, so that will close up.

  • Actually, about 6kN

  • phew! thanks, I've had a bad streak of things going wrong recently..

  • Can't you just get the spider ring on it instead?

  • its 5 bolt 110bcd

  • That's the adaptor.

  • tis a modular crank - will take the spidey like any other Si crank.

    I think I posted about all this in the Cannondale thread recently.

  • Yes, if you can find a longer axle and a load of spacers. Measure how far past the nuts your current axle reaches, spacing to 126mm should be find for a steel 130mm frame.

  • 1" threaded carbon forks - are there any new options beyond the nasty looking Nashbar version? Google is not giving me much.

    I assume that cutting threads in a threadless version is a no-no.

  • Is changing the headset to threadless not an option?

  • How do I remove the last lock nut from the threaded track hub axle?
    I can't get a good grip on the axle, they should have made some wrench flats on it.
    I tried tightening up two other lock nuts against each other to hold, but it didn't work.

  • It is. But so is buying a new bike. Both of those options have been rejected.

  • Fit two nuts on the other side, loosely, and then tighten them against each other so they operate as jam nuts. Then, with a spanner holding the inner jam nut in place, undo the lock nut you're trying to shift. Once it's off, loosen the two jam nuts and unthread them.

  • I can't get a good grip on the axle

    Soft jaws, e.g. https://www.bike24.com/p247998.html

  • Thanks. this worked.
    It was more or less what I tried yesterday, but this time I fixed one cone spanner in a vise to have a bit more control.

    cheers
