Any question answered...

Probably easiest to just upload them to Tiny Pic or something then.

Saddle demo in central London? Condor?

My sister is tiny, like just under 5 foot, and she wants a bike to get around on.

She used to have this heavy vintage folder that she liked, but it was super heavy and she got hit by a car on it and it got wrecked, and she hasn't had a bike since.

She keeps sending me shit dutch bikes on gumtree or eBay but I want to sort her something nicer. She lives on the 2nd floor so carrying it up the stairs is an issue, but she's so small, getting her a "normal" bike seems impossible.

I'm not being heightist here, hybrid for someone sub 5', at a reasonable price, what are the options??

Pinnacle or Verenti.

She tried out a small Pompino and it was still too big for her.

Danke

Ask here, too?

They do have test saddles, yes.

I've been given a pair of forks for free but someone has attempted to drill/hack out the star nut from the steerer.

What is the best way to remove what is left of the star nut? I can't hammer it down as the steerer is sealed at the bottom.

Hacksaw blade and patience?

As with most questions in life, the answer is Dremel®

Where do I find the missing piece? 🤔
Looked online but can only find them from US sellers on eBay.
Thanks!

Google 'hollowtech 2 preload cap'

and dont buy a metal one, get the OG plastic shimano

buy a metal one, not the OG plastic shimano

ftfy :)
I like the metal ones, they're fine as long as you know what you're doing and you can get them in pretty colours.

plastic ones are idiot/over torque proof IMO

plastic ones are idiot/over torque proof

As I said, metal is fine if you know what you're doing :)

I challenge the notion of idiot proof at all times. I'll go plastic 🙄
Thanks for your advice fellows

Anyone know someone that can weld aluminium in London?

What have you broken?

@PhilDAS @mdcc_tester Cheers for the replies!

@Sumo It is a carbon steerer tube so a star nut shouldn't of been put in there originally.

Which leads me on to my next question, where can I get a 1" compression bung from? Googling brings up sites in the US.

Edit - found this, any other options?

Nothing much, long standing issue that's just been getting worse. Crack in the Elin's alu seat clamp section.
