Disc brakes are dead

At this point, the race should have pressed itself in from the weight of the agony of the followers of this thread.

Nobody should ever have to go to a bike shop. For anything.

Trying to put me out of a job?

You couldn't just go to a bike shop?

With the storm riling up on Uber’s employment tribunal, it’s too much of a risk.

@Velocio I think @Chak makes a valid observation that @amey is actually just trolling the forum now which is technically online bullying of the kind @estherrantzen would disapprove of.

I therefore suggest locking the thread and removing @amey's ability to start any new ones or upload pictures would be the most appropriate response.

Anyone who actually wants to see the hideous spawn of his unfettered consumerism can always check out radavist, or, in this case more likely http://www.pengytravelbike.com

now off to LBS ;)

You can be head mechanic at the LFGSS co-op shop.

And @amey can bring his seat tube in for a good forum reaming etc

you think that red gooey stuff around the crown race is grease?!

This is going almost too fast for me now

Also after @JB 's cyberbullying campaign against the Look forks on my Moots, I went 3T Funda with sotte voce CK headset. Excuse the frame pad, I haven't fully unpacked the Moots yet.

In terms of storage/workshop space I suspect we have two options:

1. Very easy
   
2. Quite difficult
   
   

And I suspect that unless someone takes on 2 as a personal project it's going to be 1 all the way.

Here's roughly what I see as the options:

1. Get a big room in one of the secure storage places, share the PIN with everyone who a) is "known" and b) puts some cash in.
   
2. Get a unit, which will be much much larger and give the possibility of a workshop etc, but would have more security concerns than a secure storage facility - but a lot more flexibility. We could have a pretty significant workshop, maybe a paint area (if not actual booth) etc.
   

what happens if/when you lose paying members with option 1 for example? Same goes for 2 tbh.

You have their details and you send the boys round if anything goes missing

The secure storage is a monthly rolling deal - you could move the bikes down the corridor into a smaller room. Option 2 - thats' a problem.

I suspect for 2 to work we'd need someone to run a small business from the unit, and therefore be committed for at least six months.

Why have you got a wine cooler strapped to the top tube?

The Paul centre-pull looks like Jonny 5 from Short Circuit.

Hope that's not matte paint because that grease can stain it

Powder coated.. bike dropped at RAD bikes to be finished by mid week!

I don't understand, admittedly I had very little sleep last night so my brains a bit frazzled, you bought a tool to put the thingy on, there is a pic of the thingy on, then off, and now it's at your lbs. I guess my point being, what the fuck for?

Not my tool, borrowed. Don't drive and refuse to Uber to LBS, so made it ride-able at 34x11 and dropped at the shop to finish gear cabling and cut the steerer.

You’re paying a shop to put cables on for you? They’re laughing all the way to the bank

Do you have someone come over and wipe your arse?
Finish gear cabling!?!

No he ubers over to their house for them to do it

It's ok, I saved money on the groupset. I am on my way to collect my other bike that I left for dynamo cabling with SBC cycles.
