    The correct technical term is German Lesbian Handlebars.

  • How do handlebars have a sexual orientation?

  • do handlebars have a sexual orientation?

    No, they swing both ways, even on bikes which only have to turn left.

  • Swinging both ways is a sexual orientation.

  • Swinging both ways is a sexual orientation

    When I was a boy, the official Gay and Lesbian movements tended to look down on it as a sexual disorientation :) We didn't have as many letters on the banner in those days.

  • What are my spanners worth

    I took £50 on here for the three BB tools together, I doubt that there's as much of a premium on the cone spanners since they're nowhere near as nice as collectibles and there are more than enough generic alternatives as tools.

    The first lesson you should learn is that pagination is personal, so not all users will see a page break where you do.

  • Okay that's a good place to start, thanks for the help!

  • Hey, thanks for orienting me.

  • What size bolts do I need to attach rotors to disc hubs?
    I bought rotors. But no bolts....

  • M5 by 10mm, torx T25

  • I’ve got some you can have I think.

  • thanks
    @andyp : i suppose we could do this over a pint.

  • Do you actually need Di2 levers for electronic shifting, or could you use a climbing shifter (e.g. SW-R600)?

    Currently have a spare frame with 5700 shifters and only the rear derailleur cabled up. No brakes on the frame.

    Thinking of putting an 11sp cassette onto the turbo so that I don't have to faff if swapping bikes.

    Could I get an 11sp Di2 rear derailleur and a climbing shifter button on the bars, and just control shifting completely with the button, leaving the 5700 levers there without any cables connected at all.

    (saw a comment on road.cc that implies it might be doable

    The SW-R600 climbing shifter is a self-contained unit with an E-Tube connection and doesn't need to be connected via a lever. the Sprint buttons are just extensions of the main lever and won't work connected directly. So you can connect the SW-R600 anywhere there's a spare hole. A junction box should work okay; the 5-port control box is a more elegant solution but also quite a lot more expensive.

  • yup - it will work with just one shifter ie that climbing shifter - just not with a sprint shifter as they don't have the neccessary circuits in them.

    Will obv need a battery + charger, cables and a junction-a box as well as rear derailleur

  • My Straggler has a 1x11 flat-bar setup using SW-R600, RD-6870, junction-A and the cylindrical battery in an SM-BTC1 case by the bottle cage.

  • BT Internet. Mother CYOA has been a customer for over ten years and her hub has finally died. Callcentre cunt wants to charge 65 quid for a new hub or 175 to send an engineer out to fix it. She pays about 40 quid a month because she was born before 1955 and doesn't know about such things as 'shopping around'. Callcentre cunt threatened her with (his words) "very high fees madam if you try to cancel". Steps? Frozen sausages etc.

  • Digital sausages

  • As she's likely on a rolling contract now, you could just arrange a provider switch for her online? It'll be cheaper for her and she'll get a new router.

  • Do you sell this "digital sausages"?

  • Is that something the new provider would handle? I.e. I'd call them up and say "please sack off bt on my behalf and i'll sign up to you?"

  • ninja edit. cheers
