Any question answered...

Does anyone have pdf copies of the Sutherland’s handbooks?

I found the 6th online, but I have access to that one in the shop.

maybe mainly for @mattyc but whats a good cafe that will be open early-ish tomorrow morning for breakfast in tunbridge wells? I am sad that velo haus is closed :(

Is there anyone within a mile or two of Leyton who could lend me a pair of headset spanners and a UN-55 bottom bracket installation tool?

Happy to pay with beer/chocolate/high-fives

Might get more help here also

Thanks - assume this thread probably gets more visibility though

Stupid simple question but quick Google tells me SRAM MTB chains aren't directional, couldn't find anything specific on the pc1110 for the nx1 drive chain though. Is this correct? Cheers

Another stupid question, changing the tyres on my mtb which is NOT setup tubeless, half the tyre is glued to the rim, which I've never seen before. What's the point of doing that and is carefully ripping it off the best bet? :)

Someone else was having repeat issues with a low pressure MTB tyre sliding round the rim, and ripping the valve from an inner tube. Might be a ghetto way to fix that?

Hey man, Sadly nothing does what the Velo House did... best place I’ve found is Bedgebury Pinetum about 19km east of T-Bizzle... bloody good food.
Since the closure of VH the local club use the George pub as their base, most social non club riders go to pret at five ways.
Fine Grind does the best coffee in town but nowhere for bikes - there is also a place called Kingdom in Penshurst which is a few miles out of town which caters for cyclists and a place called the bicycle bakery which as far as I can tell has nothing to do with cycling. Another good coffee place is The Black Dog and has a ‘proper’ bike shop nearby... don’t know about breakfast as I’m usually home for it! hope that helps anyway!
(Id offer you breakfast here but we’ve just had a baby and life hasn’t settled enough for civilised meals yet!)

That was me. Proper tire inflation seems to have cured my issue.

I'm currently glueing my disc brake pads in place which is fairly ghetto.

It is correct, yes - Sram chains are not directional.

Trying to run Shimano ultegra shifters with a Deore rear mech. It doesn't work. Is there a way of making it work?

I ran tiagra shifters with an mtb RD a while ago and it was fine, but this time it seems the shifter doesnt pull enough cable with each shift. Pretty sure Ill have to get a long cage road mech unless someone has any magic ideas.

There's an awful lot of ground covered by those range names. Post part numbers if you want useful answers.

6600 shifters , RD M610-SGS

I read somewhere that older 9 speed RDs have a compatible cable pull and can work with a 10 speed block. True?

M610

There's your trouble, it's a Dyna Sys RD, that's not going to work with road shifters.

610 is neither older nor 9-speed. RD-M591 is the kind of thing you're looking for

My commuter bike currently has a Tiagra FC-4700 chain-set, and since I almost never have occasion to use the small chainring*, I'm considering swapping over to a 1x setup.

What reasonably priced options do I have for a 110BCD, 48t, narrow-wide chainring that will fit with Shimano's silly new 4bolt system?

Superstar if you like red or can wait for stock

Aliexpress if you can wait for the slow boat from China

There are these stumps for lack of better words, that you can put on road bike bars if you don't have brakes (not going to put my front brake there). They provide better comfort. Anyone know what those things are called?

You mean these?

Cane Creek Ergo Stoker levers they're called.

I wish I'd thought of that.

I wish you could spell stoker 🤔

Too slow.
