Any question answered...

Yes! Good point thank you

Wrong thread….

Spider slots onto crank, secured with lockring.

Thanks very much, was trying to find a picture like that!

Is there a special tool for that lockring? and that looks to be a hollowtech 2 crank, with the axle being on the non drive crank, what is the equivalent to pinch bolts on a Shimano compact crankset?

Here you go

Thanks again!

24mm ID BB, not heard of ID before so is that a normal HT2 BB? Almost certainly yes just dunno what ID means lol

Internal Diameter, OD being outer diameter. Shimano hollowtech II BBs are 24mm ID for their (and some others, like these middleburn) 24mm OD axle cranks.

Yes. ID = inside/internal diameter.

^Replyzumped haha, 24mm internal diameter AKA normal HT2 yeah

what is the equivalent to pinch bolts

The spline is tapered, like a BB30. No pinch bolts required

Taking fork out of road bike to service headset and this hit the ground. Didn't see where it came from and don't recognise it. Any ideas please?

Looks like a washer from a Look cleat.

Never seen a bearing flat spotted into a doughnut.

washer from a Look cleat

In plan view, yes, but do I see a lip around the bore? In which case, some sort of cable entry protector?

I think shimano cleat washers have a lip around

shimano cleat washers have a lip

Yeah, but all the ones I can see with the lip are rectangular 🤷‍♂️

And what would a cleat be doing in a headset?

this hit the ground

Sure? Maybe something else hit the ground and that's what you found. Check the area for headset shims.

Anyone ordered from Bikester.co.uk?

the plot thickens..

Yep, ordered some tyres last week, arrived this week. Good prices, good delivery.

Took a while for my purchase to arrive but all ok. I think they ship from Germany. Why?

They’re ok, glacial postage though.

I would imagine it's because sacredheart is intending to buy something from them.

Tredz or tweeks? Which is less shit?
