Any question answered...

Goldtec had issues no?

Goldtec, yeah that was them!

Fuck, I need to get back into the skixxiefidders

Wasn't that a particular batch? I thought they had a solid reputation otherwise.

Unsure. FWIW I've had a few sets and they've always been bombproof. both their track and road hubs.

Dura Ace, EAI, or I like the Andel ones from Velo Solo too.

Basically stay with steel, avoid aluminium.

Ace, thanks all!

Anyone doing anything with http://www.london-revolution.com? I'm coming down to do mechanicing, could meet up for beer.

Beer was yesterday now drinking wine.

Where sells helicopter tape in central LDN?

If you find out where, I'll split a roll with you

Recommended independent bike shop for buying a hybrid on Cyclescheme, somewhere between Shoreditch and West London? All my recommendations are in East London, Brixton, or are fixie shops. Shameful I don't know this but I'd be happy to find out...

Has anyone had Italian traffic fines before?

Work up to a signed-for letter informing me I had a traffic violation.

There is a reduced rate if you pay

within 5 days of the notification date of this deed

...the covering pink post slip has a date of 9/05/17 so I think I may just be in time.

Any tips or other experience?

Cheers.

Micycle http://www.micycle.org.uk/ ? They were decent when I bought mine a few years back (Barnsbury Street) but I haven't been recently as I'm not that close any more.

Do you plan on going to Italy again? If yes, then pay it.

I have a .db3 file (it's text messages, contacts, etc backed up from an old Nokia phone many years ago). Opening it in Excel I see that it has the stuff in there but it's all messed up.

From what I gather it's an sqlite file. What's the easiest way to read this (Ubuntu or Windows)? Looking at the sqlite download page it seems to have a variety of command line tools but nothing else, I'm not sure if I'm missing something. Cheers.

Where can I buy a white cycling cap with 4 triangle panels. I plan on printing on it myself.

Bit shit really. Commuter focused.

This feels like a good place to ask ... does anyone here work either for a charity in any kind of management role or in a commercial entity in a role that deals with the company's charity work and CSR budget?

I'd love to speak with folks who are either of the above about a project I'm working on.

Try sqlitespy instead

Excellent, that did the job. Thanks

Can 'external headset' forks be used on a frame with that has a 'semi intergrated' headset?

Yes, as long as the steerer diameter(s) and length are right. Might look a bit ugly, see for example about a million weight weenie bikes with THM Scapulas in place of the original integrated fork. There might also be a few edge cases where the fork crown hits the down tube, but as long as everything clears and the geometry is right, there is no functional difference.

I want some colourful road hubs, orange maybe, but ideally at less money than Chris King or White Industries.

Any recommendations?

I'd look at Hope, maybe superstar do ano novatec road, too?

Silver hubs and coloured lenses.
