Is Tim Minchin currently trolling us all with a massive ironic self-pisstake on Radio 4 or is he just sort of awful?

There appears to be two different types of Sram Force rim calliper brakes. I don't know anything about Sram. Can anyone tell me which are the latest plz?

is he just sort of awful?

This

I don't know anything about Sram.

Ignorance is bliss.

Tim Minchin is to comedy what Elbow is to music.

shit and enjoyed by people that actively hate comedy and / or music.

that said, i really can't get on with stand up comedy. elbow can fuck off forever any day of the week tho.

I’ve just used aluminium adhesive C-clip guides on a build.

Held up well so far, four out of four are still firmly attached to the underside of the Ti frame through all weathers.

They’re ‘Jagwire’ branded; apparently the cheaper generic ones use fake “3M” adhesive pads and don’t hold as well.

Can anyone tell me which are the latest plz?

There are two current Force brakes, RB-FRC-A1 which goes with the Force22 conventional group, and RB-FRC-D1 with extra tyre clearance which goes with the AXS group.
There is also a first gen Force caliper which is different, but if you find any of those they will be very old by now.

My mid-90’s custom Sonic mtb has an original Dia-Compe Aheadset (Dia-Compe invented the aheadset) which Helmut Berns picked up in the US at one of the big trade shows. It was probably the first one in the UK. It had a plastic top cap, which we thought was a bit cheap but it was deliberately made from plastic to stop people from over-torquing the headset bearings. It’s still on the bike today.

cheers, but i was thinking more about my telly / computer/ amp cable-age. apols for not making that clearer, we are on a bikey forum so that's on me.

Thanks as always Tester.
Both should work with S500 levers right?

Yes, they'll work with any SRAM road lever

Velcro tape

very kind, thanks....drop me a pm if poss/convenient.

so, there's been an escalation - ti the tune of an additional 120 litres! Still following the same method and yours and others advice on here....add slow and i'll change a little more water a little more regularly. 3 Corys and a few snails will be in the previous tank over the weekend and then 6-8 neons before a couple weeks and transfer to the larger tank, cycle started today and onward!

do they come in black?

RS Components have it in black. Search for 'spiral wrap'.
TLC also have it if you want it today - there's a branch in Penge.

You had me at "Penge"

Top tip.

I dropped a granite mortar on the edge of our Schott Ceran hob. After picking away the shards it looks like this, should I expect this crack to propagate? Anything I can or should do?

The plastic strip is the backside of the foam seal that keeps water out. Current thinking is filling it up with heat resistant sealant and hoping it’ll last another year or two.
