Any question answered...

Thanks man! Makes my whole wheelbuying decision alot easier!

..

You read it carefully yeah?

I think tyres are 650b and wheel is 700c...

Heraldry(ish) question. I have just discovered that my family (Sunderland) crest and motto is identical to another family (more aristocratic, Scrope) that hails from the same region of the UK, what likely relation is my family to theirs. Were my ancestors serfs on their land that took the crest and motto when they got all high and mighty at some point, or is a more biological relationship likely?

My point was that the tire is wider than the fender...

Heraldry(ish) question

I'm calling bullshit, but if you really think you're entitled to heraldic arms, https://www.college-of-arms.gov.uk/ will confirm it.

Interesting, but I think we both know I wasn't trying to claim any actual legal right to bear arms!

Whether officially binding or not, a quick Google search shows multiple sources with the same crest and motto for both families, and I found that curious so wondered if anyone knew more.

And they all take up large amounts of storage and with my tinfoil hat on why do they need access to my camera?

I can't speak for anything else, but Ringgo uses 28MB on my phone and works fine without camera access. I can see how camera access would be useful to read a parking location 2D/QR code instead of having to enter a serial number.

Anyone know if they’re available on their own/a source of microspline 10 tooth sprockets?

Smallest 2 XTR ones.

No stock there or with Madison but something to search for.

There was a generational pull ratio cutoff for Campag in 2015. Stuff on either side won’t work across that manufacturing date. If you’re certain that the 2015 Chorus is precisely 2015 edition, then it wouldn’t work with 2013 record.

If the Chorus was a few months older then for sure you could say it would work. Bummer.

They introduced a mark with the boxed letter A for the post 2015 stuff.

Is it a problem to install these cups without the sleeve between them? @gbj_tester

For the follow up on these cheap v brakes, the first set got lost in the post but they refunded me. Second set arrived ok.. They seem alright. The spring tension adjust is a cross head type instead of a hex but other than that... Fine. Especially considering the price.

(I'm sure someone now will point me to a way better brake + lever combo that only costs five pounds more or something but I couldn't find it when I was looking)

I reckon they're fine for what you want to do.

Just tidying up Christmas chocolate stocks. Toblerone - Do you squeeze the ribs (peaks) or bend the spine?
Or freeze it and use an ice axe?

Friends told me about an advert in continental Europe which showed the peaks being pushed together. It generally works but sometimes the tips snap off.

Just the tip?

Only if you freeze it.

Brrrr

Anyone know of a slimline 3 pin plug? I'm trying to avoid having to wire a fixed spur.

Recently set up a trainer tire on a spare wheel I had knocking around and the indexing is waaaaay out when I use it on either of my bikes.

With the SRAM mech on one bike, I have to wind the barrel adjuster in about 3 full turns to get it running smoothly. On my other bike, which I'd rather use on the turbo, I'm running an Ultegra R8000 RD that has a dodgy barrel adjuster where it's not really practical to have to adjust it more than a couple of clicks at a time (another problem for another day).

Is there a solution to this other than having to adjust the cable tension every time I put the bike on the trainer? My motivation to ride the turbo is lacking at the best of times, never mind if I need to faff around every time I want to swap wheels.

How often are you using the trainer ??

Just leave your usual wheel on if the answer is not a huge amount. No messing with indexing.

Yes, you could shim the cassette out on the problem wheel. 3 full turns of the barrel adjuster moves the derailleur about 2.5 mm I think (11s).

[Edit: this will only work if you are currently loosening the barrel adjusters to use that wheel]
