Any question answered...

is this what I need to install a straight 1 1/8 fork in a 44mm HT with EC44/40 lower cup (also Hope)?

Also which crown race?

That or change the lower cup to ZS44/30. The latter looks better, but it changes the geometry slightly so you need to decide whether you like that idea.

Also which crown race?

The 40mm (for 1½") crown race if you use the reducer you picked out.

true, i think it would reduce stack by 1-1.5cm.

would the sequence be EC44/40 lower cup > reducer > 1 1/8 crown race?

would the sequence be EC44/40 lower cup > reducer > 1 1/8 crown race?

No, it's EC44/40 lower, 1½" crown race, reducer. The reducer is just a top hat bush which presses onto the 30mm diameter on the fork an provides a 40mm diameter to mount the 1½" crown race.

got it, thanks!

I have used a Superstar reducer crown race with Hope EC44 lower cup / bearing before. Or just get a Superstar lower cup and said crown race.

.

Yes. Installed that thing last week.
I don't know why because I couldn't find my verniers, but it was not fun.
Hope thing in oven, put on steerer, hit pipe with hammer, get nowhere, get round file out, heat up, hit with hammer, repeat many times.

Of course this might work way better with a pipe thats not from a vacuum. Or a fork thats not one of the low trail masis from Alb/Cake.

Its on now, rides nicely but now theres the problem of the headset sticking out like crazy. I'll need a very long washer to install the rack.

What's the BCD on a Campagnolo Comp One 11sp 53/39? Cheers

135 is Campag’s usual standard size.

Thank you. Understood there were some differences over time but thanks for clearing that up

Dura-ace 7900 shifter noob question...
Why are my Shifters not sitting flush?
There's a plastic bit on the inside that's hitting against the back wall inner (you can see a little round mark) stopping the lever moving any closer in

Have you tried switching it off and on again?

I would do but can't find that button either 😉

Somebody out there must have a clue..

You need to adjust the reach.

Reach adjust innit, under the hood there's a little bolt to unscrew, 2mm allen I think.

Ah, beaten to it.

Many thanks for this!

@snottyotter you too

What's best to keep this steel pipe looking freshly cleaned up? Indoor use only.

It depends where it is going to live.

Where can I buy replacement plastic sleeve for internal routed gear cable? This is the bottom bracket insert for the front derailleur.

In the house, living room probably. It's going to be the upright of a floor lamp, cable routed inside it.

Varathane or some similar plastic coating.
