Any question answered...

Looking for an explanation why I can't put a short cage on a long cage derailleur body as *noted..some long cage specific parts not made available as spares, hence omitted from the drawing? Different spring wire in the main body, possibly?

Can someone point me to the thread with a photo of a bike with a yes fam! sticker on the front hed 3 please

Challenge Roubaix and dt460.
How many chickens do
i sacrifice to get them up and on? Which God?

12 chickens for the Challenge Clincher Mounting Tool.
Conti GP5000TL on DT411 was a pain, as well. Came on eventually with campag tire levers, would have snapped lesser ones.

Cool. Ta.

I had some success copying @Tijmen 's plan (stanley knife not laser cutter)

Pictures!

After first test the Ikea mat wasn't long enough and I ended up "stitching" two bits together with paracord. Looks very shoddy but actually held up fine and was quite stable when cinched down. I think it would be better if it was ~50% bigger or just with a smaller dry bag.

Not half as shoddy as I expected it to, love it! How is it around the thighs?

Thanks! All credit to you though (or rather the bloke in NZ who came up with the idea). The dry bag I have is oddly square at the bottom so there was a bit of tappage but not a deal breaker. I think a tapered bag or a few slices of foam between the holster and the seat post would solve it.

My parents in law need a new satnav - which would ideally be TomTom (bc thats what they're used to) I was looking at this model but the issue is it needs to support chinese language and I dont think this does. Am I right? Any suggestions?

a new satnav

I'm surprised that's even a thing. Why aren't they using a phone?

No idea. They are just old and feel comfortable having a satnav and I'm the lucky individual tasked with helping them

Does anyone know the order and positioning of spindle spacers/washers needed on a RaceFace X-type crankset, or have a link to a manual? Struggling to find anything with Google and the RF website doesn't seem to have anything helpful. It's for a mid/late 00's Evolve XC that I'd got with no spacers and I've ordered this set (which I think is correct?):

1 x 3.5mm elastomer
2 x black rubber 1mm spacer
1 x red rubber 1mm spacer

On a 73mm threaded BB.

Erm, best website/forum to buy not-stolen second hand bikes (hybrid, dutch etc) ?

LFGSS!

Why can't little cornershops do cashback?

It costs them money so they don't want to

Surely they could just say they need to add on some money to cover costs or just have an explicit charge for it?

They could but no one likes paying a fee to withdraw money and it's also a hassle for them, makes balancing the float in the till that much harder.

Good points, thanks.

Went out without wallet and needed to pay for something with a fiver cash. Had google pay on phone, surrounded by off licences but couldn't get any cash. Felt like a silly situation.

5 draw?

What this?

Two questions:

1) What chainline does an aerospoke rear fixed wheel give? Is it 42mm?

2) What is the purpose of the small conical springs that you get in QR skewers?

1. To space out the skewer so you could easily slot your wheel in.
