Any question answered...

AR Dynamo Disc Fork or Rodeo Spork. Both nice, both pricey. I went for the AR.

1. I find when I ride with no hands I have to lean my torso significantly off centre (right) to stay balanced, does anyone else find this or have any idea what could cause it?

2. I fitted a new tyre and there's a big ass lump, is there anything I can do to make sure I don't leave lumps when I'm fitting a new tyre?

Cheers. Sounds like some sort hash from the late '90 hash.

None. It just needs to be reliable and not slow.

Basically I'm looking for extra storage for a local syncing Dropbox, and maybe a bit of misc media (cat gifs and mp3s not anything serious /perm).

I know I should install an extra HDD, or rig up a decent XHD, but a USB is so much easier and cheaper. Plus as it's locally saving cloud files if it fucks up its not the end of the world.

there's a big ass lump

I think you've answered your own question there.

Sorry, I should have mentioned, the two are independent. I still get the lean even on my second bike.

Your frame is out of alignment?

Same ass, same lean. It's simple physics 🙂

Two different frames though, so I'd be very surprised if it was that.

Then your frame is out of alignment

I think you're right. Would also suggest my physio problems (patellofemoral in left but not right knee)

One giant bollock?

Maybe I need to rest my wang in the middle of the saddle instead of to one side :s

Go see an osteopath.

NOT A CHIROPRACTOR Osteopath is (in the UK) a legally protected title you can only use with accreditation from one professional standards body, Chiro is pseudoscience from the idiots who think that realigning bones can fix colic in infants https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Chiropractic_Association_v_Singh

Unless you're an Osteopath who thinks that realigning bones can fix colic in infants.

Or an excellent Chiropractor.

So yes, I agree that there is less risk with an Osteopath. But really it comes down to how good the individual is.

Hang on, osteopathy (uk terminology) is pseudoscience too

Are there any truly rust free 9 speed chains?

My chain is not stretched yet, but after two winters with road salt it is ready to be flung in the metal bin at the local Belfast recycling centre while I hum "closer to thee my God"

I know it'll get recycled, but I don't like binning stuff. Does a salt proof chain exist, or should I just get another Shimano 9 speeder?

KMC EPT coating is the best I've encountered so far. Fully nickel or TiNi plated chains are also good. Basically you gotta get spendy

Tx, will give that a go!

Any suggestions on the best way to repair this cufflink (or somewhere that would do it cheap)? Cheers

Glue it back together?

can anyone recommend someone to weld realign a seat stay back to the (531) seat tube? It’s popped off pulled a muscle possibly. Seems like a fixable thing and I’d like to not junk the frame if possible.
TIA.

As I understand it, Osteopathy only claims that skeletal realignment can fix muscular issues caused by skeletal misalignment.
