Any question answered...

246 good?

For that usage, fine.

'I see their point, but I personally don’t think that low-strength Loctite is going to do a whole lot when you look at the torque involved in pedaling.' Author is idiot. Ignore.

All my notifactions from LFGSS go to into spam in GMAIL. My lfgss email is a hotmail and I forward to gmail so it's easy for me to pickup on my phone.
In the last couple of months something changed on this site which stopped the my mail coming through.
Any ideas?
cheers

DMARC failure of some kind due to the forward

I've been advised that the Paddy Wagon frame is fine, but needs a respray. Where in London (with a preference for South West) would do a really good job of redoing the original, complete with decals as required etc.

Original frame paint job here:

cone spanners am looking for a pair of double ended, dual sized spanners

any particular recommendations or ones to avoid?

http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/cyclo-cone-spanners/rp-prod32405

i bought the evans ones. they're not park tools obviously, but they work totally fine and are easy to get hold of

just make sure you buy the right size (13-16mm for shimano road hubs if that helps)

I use these http://www.tredz.co.uk/.Ice-Toolz-Hub-Cone-Wrench_37725.htm?sku=91161&utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=google_shopping&gclid=Cj0KEQjwpZO_BRDym6K_nMye7cEBEiQAVA7RaErcn5mCeVvwQse9rDyjan1f9GnC8_k-VdyHMTCzqt8aAuvl8P8HAQ

Is the sugino pista crankset any good? this one right here https://www.bike-mailorder.de/sugino-pista-track-kurbelgarnitur-schwarz?number=201412121030PF4&gclid=Cj0KEQjwpZO_BRDym6K_nMye7cEBEiQAVA7RaKnDueFP6Y3aee-HzgIF46mqP9QCNlMoKD9s7L-tY04aAgs88P8HAQ

I want to replace a 1 inch steel headtube to a 1 1/8 non tapered one.
Where's the best place to look online? (Preferably from a European website.)

You could try some inverse shims.

True but unfortunately I had my last one for breakfast so...

Bet you're still hungry.

It's 130BCD so not a 'true' track crankset (looks like the converted road cranks they do with pista written on). It'll hold together and make your bike go though - I run a similar pair on my commuter and they function.

^{[citation needed]}

For it being 130BCD or not being designed purely as a track crankset?

I hoped the air quotes took care of the 130BCD=\=track cranks - was a bit of a stab at purists.

What's the q factor on the Sugino 75 dd cranks? Sugino seem to be a bit coy about numbers, and I'm trying to convince myself not to get a track SRM.

get the power2max track rotor cranks

149mm q factor? I'm happy with that on a road bike but for a track bike I'd like to try something a bit narrower.

Low

Ah, but how low? Lower than 141mm?

@penguinspring

Does anybody have any ideas for this? I bought a new pair of Hunt wheels, but my 10 speed Campagnolo Record cassette is wider than the free hub. This means the frame is pressing against the cassette lock ring, not the axle when the wheel is clamped. Tried another (different ratio) campagnolo 10 speed cassette and its the same. Is there something I'm fundamentally missing as the wheels are supposed to be for Campagnolo 10/11.
