Any question answered...

in modern terms, 700c = 29"

In Euro terms, 700C is usually referred to as 28" on road bikes.

Doesn't most streaming services offer offline content/downloads? Netflix does, Viaplay does.

so actually wheel (rim) sizes are best expressed as 622 / 630 etc

and wheel (rim plus tyre combo) are best expressed as " sizes

• and presumably it generally makes sense to talk in rim plus tyre combo sizes because that allows for consideration of frame clearance?
  
  

i get it now...thanks!

Bottom line for me, I wish all tire manufacturers would embrace ISO sizing.

I'm pretty sure i've got some 26 x 1 3/8" tyres somewhere.

thats not a head fuck...

I think they have if you read the small print. It's a long time since I bought a tyre which wasn't marked with the ETRTO size (later adopted as ISO 5775) alongside any other old school dimensions.

I'm pretty sure i've got some 26 x 1 3/8"

It gets worse, there are tyres of different width from nominal which were marked with both the nominal width/diameter in order to show which rim they fit and the actual width, e.g. 26×1⅜×1¼ is a 1¼" wide tyre designed to fit the rim of a 26×1⅜" tyre

So they do. Well, they're spoilt for choice with food and water in my back garden. Probably explains why there were over 50 of the fractious little fellas there this afternoon.

lol - ffs

Has Gmail recently removed the ability to get email from other POP accounts into your Gmail account?

Documentation still refers to it, but I don't have any options on desktop settings.

Annoying because I relied on Gmail's spam filters to clean my personal domain email.

I know you can add extra POP/IMAP accounts alongside your Gmail account, and view "All Inboxes" but that's not the same thing.

Edit: I suppose I could set up a redirect from my personal domain mailboxes to Gmail...

I think they have if you read the small print.

I'm familiar with ETRTO, and they have not when they're promoting them, it's all '650B' this and '29er' that.

590 for lyfe

Edit: I don't think you did

Do you mean "Check email from other accounts (POP3)"?

I still have that option; half way down the "accounts and import" tab in settings

I could set up a redirect from my personal domain mailboxes to Gmail...

That's what I'd do, then you don't have to tell Google your passwords for your POP mailboxes.

That is what I mean, and that tab is now called 'Accounts' and only allows me to configure 'Send mail as'.

Fair point.

In fact, most bike shops around here (admittedly a backwater, but a fairly large one with almost 20 of 'em) won't know what I'm talking about if I ask for a tire by it's ISO size.
Maybe it's more the sellers than manufacturers, but the highlighted size on the tire is always the popular, inaccurate size.

I think there are stick on cable guides on ebay

Yeah, I saw those. I think I'm going to get some of them for the seatstay, drill/file out the stops for the brake cable and just attach the brake/rear gear cables together somehow on the top tube.

My other bike is more difficult because all 3 cables are routed along the downtube and I don't want to drill that one. So I'd need some sort of solution for the BB guide and a way to attach three housings together neatly. I think I might just not bother with that one.

Ah, gotcha.
For tablets but not macbook/laptops.

Can I run a hope front hub using bolts instead of a quick release?

I mean like a surly ultra new hub. Not like a through axle.

Can I run a hope front hub using bolts instead of a quick release?

Hope? Nope. Anything with push-on end caps won't work, because they rely on the skewer or through bolt to hold everything together. Anything with threaded on ends caps and hex broached in the QR bore for disassembly won't work because the hex takes away too much of the material you'd want to tap to take the mounting bolts.

Gotcha. Thanks. But... (And this is just for curiosity) how come their rear hubs have a bolt-in kit - how does that work?

Perhaps the better question would be: are there any front disc hubs meeting this spec off the peg, other than surly ultra new?

Edit: this isn't anything to do with my previous question about doing this on rear hubs... Just a coincidence :)

how come their rear hubs have a bolt-in kit - how does that work?

Different kind of assembly, the bolts pass through the end caps and thread into the main axle.

Not OTP, but Shimano HB-M525/755/756 lend themselves well to conversion, as does anything else with a steel hollow axle which runs uninterrupted from one dropout to the other. It's cheap and easy to run an M6 hand tap into the end of such an axle, they are a bit over the proper pilot bore for M6 but there's enough metal there to make for a safe connection. Check the EV PDF for other Shimano hubs, some of the newer ones have big tubes in the middle with separate end caps. DT hubs are in two classes "inserted adapter" and "pressed-on adapter". The former can probably be converted, the latter can't. You need to exercise a bit more caution with aluminium axles, I probably wouldn't risk it if your object in making them bolt-on is to try to mitigate the problem of QR disc hubs, because you won't actually be able safely to get more clamping force in the overbore threads than a good QR already provides.
