  • Blimey. Well done that LFGSSer

  • What's with the new gold / yellow logo?

    Just came here to ask that - shit the bed. @skinny get some well deserved sleep!

  • 6700 Shifters. Were there different colours i.e grey / black or were they all the same?

  • Think the shifters were the same either way, I remember the mech boxes having the glossy grey sticker on them as it was a new option but not the shifters.

  • cycling android app question - is there one that takes into account cycle routes with turn by turn navigation BUT also plots a new route if you go wrong/road closed/big dog on cycle path.

    ps. and isnt "google maps" - because it does not navigate uploaded GPS/kml files, it just shows them as a black line on the map

  • Personally I like osmand, you can load downloaded gpx tracks and you can follow them or you can use on device routing.

    As well as using a pre loaded gpx track in active mode i.e my usual preference is just to display the track on the map with my current position, if I go of track it is quite easy to use chap nav to get back to the displayed track.
    Track displayed on map but not active, my current position shown as radar type thingy in blue.

    Active mode

  • Thanks. Thought as much

  • The Gold LFGSS header should link through to the Transcon Race thread (for a day or so).
    I headed over here to find out why but many won't...

  • fantastic info - thanks! i'll take a look at it :)

  • What 6 films are these images from?

  • The Matrix

  • Clearly there was no point in my resisting the temptation half an hour ago :)

  • Where should I go for OTP 26" or 650b fixeh wheels for my daily? I want to go for wider tyres - maybe 38s - but they won't fit on a 700C.

    I have a disc or canti fork, so either would do. Nothing flash, ideally under £100.

  • Middle left is "Blinkende Lygter"
    Top left some other Danish japp

  • What pads should I get to replace the nearly worn ones that came with a set of TRP Spyres?

  • @CYOA Did you find your phone?

  • I need a lock ring for a Corima track disc which is small enough to allow me to run a 13t cog.

    The one I have is fine down to 14t but is too big in diameter to fit into the groove on the sprocket (Dura Ace). A DA lock ring has a different thread pitch, I think.

    What do I need to look for?

  • What do I need to look for?

    If it's a different pitch, rather than diameter, then you're probably looking for a French thread M33×1.0, which limits your choices to Mavic or unobtanium. I don't have one to hand to determine whether it will work with a 13T, and while I know what day in 2011 I used a 13T sprocket, I'm reasonably sure that it was on my disc with an ISO lock ring, not on the Ellipses with the Mavic one.

    Where were you 3 years ago when I offered to make French #tartmode lock rings? :)

  • Also, get a bigger chainring. 13T sprockets hurt your drive train efficiency.

  • Also also, you can use an M6 screw as a thread gauge to check that it is 1.0mm pitch

  • Ha. At about 2am last night. I'd looked down the side of the sofa and underneath it. But I took another look underneath and looked up this tine. I noticed a flat area in the lining. It had somehow slipped down the edge of the sofa and was bouncing around inside the fabric/lining. Stanley knife. Minor surgery. I now have A my phone and B a place to stash wads of money I don't own.

  • Does anyone have a link to the science report that suggests participants in an experiment couldn't tell the difference between different bike frame materials? Cheers

  • If we're thinking of the same thing, it was in the last 2 or 3 years, and wasn't so much a 'science report that suggests participants in an experiment couldn't tell the difference between different bike frame materials' more of a 'different frame materials didn't make a huge amount of difference time-wise to someone's commute'.
    Somewhat unhelpfully, A) I'm struggling to pinpoint it and B) You may have something different in mind.
