Would a taper not be self-leveling

My last project, a Macho Man Disc. Ride it since a few weeks (Pedalroom link)

I have now finished building the Affinity Lo Pro and it is definitely too big.

Now in the classified for £300 complete...

The headtube of my bike makes cracking noises sometimes when I turn the bar and turn it back the other way. I suspect it's because I forgot this while installing the headset. Where does it go? It's a regular 1 1/8" integrated Columbus headset.

I need a similar front brake cable hanger reflector bracket for my Weinmann brakes.
Any ideas? I only find normal adjustable cable hangers without the option for a reflector mount.

cheers

I have now finished building the Affinity Lo Pro and it is definitely too big.

Surely you mean it's too small?

I am too small for it.
The frame is too big for me.

I can ride it with the seatpost lowered by 5-6cm and would need a 70/80mm stem with risers.
Or an Affinity Lo Pro in my size ;-)

I have set it up so it looks nice for the pictures...

Did I see this rolling down the A2206 on friday?

I haven't been south of the river with it.
Just Stoke Newington -> London Fields to set it up.

All rolling mighty fine!

I went and took some nice photos of my nice bike. Its pretty much done, however would like to get a second set of road wheels. Or get a good SSCX, hmmm.

I would have thought you could adapt one of the Dia-Compe headset cable hangers - IIRC the cable adjuster has a locknut you could fit some kind of reflector bracket under. I wouldn't want to fit a light like that, but a reflector should be fine.

I have a cable hanger similar to the Dia-Compe and thought about attaching the reflector there but it's not the ideal solution. However I cant find such brackets as posted in my first picture.

bladed spokes , 75 wow want you Wife : )

What's that seatpost?

It is a Shimano PRO seatpost in carbon.

Initially bought for my Sunday best bike, it is unfortunately too short at 280mm. #CSB

The clamping system isn't straightforward and I have rounded out one of the bolts. I also couldn't fit a saddle with carbon oval rails, although the seatpost came with two different clamps...

Awesome! ID on seat post and wheels?

Cheers man.

Seat post is China crabon deda look a like and wheels are fulcrum disc.

Bike looks ace. Is that at Woodgate valley??

Anyone else had difficulty getting a quill stem round the bend on compact drops? It's driving me bananas!

have had no joy with the penny method so far

Goose fat

Butter

KY Jelly

etc

Anyone else had difficulty getting a quill stem round the bend on compact drops?

Yes, almost everybody. Handlebars made when closed bar clamps were current technology had much larger bend radii.

Crossposting cause of fuming: I bought a Praxisworks BB just to get not have the hassle when fitting it; errrr wrong. The fitment on the plastic PF30 holder is to tight for the lip inside the frame. It wont go past it. I'm fuming.
Any tips on how to sort this? I have greased to kingdom come.
