You could get one of these and enjoy the extra range..50% discount, still very spendy though

Ouch that's rather a lot..!

Which 11 speed road cassettes (if any) can you run on an XDR freehub?

Some weird boutique stuff, as others have indicated. The best thing to do, if possible, is to swap the free hub rotor to a HG one.

But that 9-up is unproven, to say the least

I think you are right. I was hoping to be clever to switch between 11 speed and 12 speed road ratios using only a spacer...it would be so easy for SRAM to offer this as an option.

it would be so easy for SRAM to offer this as an optionete

But so many SKUs. They're already doing 6 different sprocket counts in up to 3 quality levels and up to 12 ratios.

The card game Dobble, has 55 cards each with 8 symbols on it. On any two cards there will only be one matching symbol. I cant get my head around how this can be possible. How can this be possible?

Because the symbols are different sizes so not an exact match.
Secondly orientation needs to be the same.

You are playing a different game

Excellent. Just my level :)

Note that there are 57 symbols and therefore should be 57 cards, however two cards are 'missing' from the published game.

Found this in a pub a while ago and it's great, got the Harry Potter for my daughter for Xmas, dunno why it works though, maths or something.

Are there any steel disk fork options with a 1 inch steerer?

I need a family friendly place like meze mangal. Bur in Manchester.
@snottyotter Help

I'm not much of an eating out person, and also vegan. Manchester center? Don't really know much Turkish stuff, if you want lovely baklava and Lebanese, like gold and can travel a little, Jandol round the corner from me is good. Or if you want nice Indian stuff but relaxed then Bundobust is very central and really nice, or Indian tiffin room over by home, although I've not got round to going there myself, it's meant to be good.

Lovely ta

So, this is a BSA GXP BB yeah, thus suitable for 68/73mm shell? I take it the spacer rings are for a wider axle Chainset (or a downhill)?

Cheers

There are normally 3 spacers.

Driveside, there's one if you're not using a BB-mounted front mech.

For a 73mm shell, that's it. For a 68mm shell, there's a spacer each side to make up the width.

The axle is always the same length (excluding DH 83mm shells and Fatbike 100/120mm shells).

If your shell is 70mm, its Italian not BSA and the thread is different.

Hard to make out in the pic but it's printed BSA; just realised BSA come in 83mm too. What part of the BB itself do I measure to confirm width? More measurements aren't printed .

Cheers

It's a GXP 83. Easiest way was to lay it next to a 68mm and it was way bigger. Cheers

True for hollowtech 2 mtb BB, the road one has no spacers for a 68mm shell. GXP has no spacers if running road cranks as it'll be on 68mm shell, for MTB cranks you use both spacers on 68mm shell and none on 73mm as the axles are a bit longer.

Anyone on here from Athens or know it well? Will be visiting for the first time late February and looking for recommendations; vegan food spots, any galleries or museums, bars and nightclubs etc.

Will also be spending a few days in some sort of cabin near Delphi and was wondering if anyone has stayed in that area before?
