Any question answered...

Do your callipers take pads with fins?

it’s not a downhill bike

Neither is mine, but 4-piston caliper and 203mm rotor gives beautiful modulation and plenty of power without having to develop the grip strength of a gorilla. If a fork manufacturer told me not to do it, I'd get a different fork over giving up my lovely brake.

It's clearly not a downhill bike because the brakes failed you going downhill, so you need to make it a downhill bike.

This is a good point.

Braking is for losers or something

Not if you're descending the Galibier!

Thanks for all this (and to other responses).

Think I'll give it a test at the weekend and then hop on a train next week.

Why do I see so many deliveroo riders wearing balaclavas? No helmet or anything just the sports material ones motorcyclists wear in the winter

Fashion innit. Came from rap in the US, adopted by drill rappers here, now your average 15 year old that says "blud" wears one. And if they don't have a helmet they aren't delivering food.

In Topboy they are delivering food

"Did you just say blud"

Mans not hot

Any London based people know of a good bakery that do deliveries to NW6. Want to send some baked treats to some friends that've just had a baby.

Same question for n16

Prestige deliver to N16

Does anyone know a London framebuilder who could add bottle mounts to an aluminum frame?

I'd second Prestige.

and also in fact replace the freely spinning bottle mounts in a second hand bike I just bought...

Did you try the hack/bodge you can use to tighten those rivnuts? (I went with that and Araldite - because a low-value frame and it stopped the ringing sound DEAD)

No I haven't, might give it a go cheers!

Move it to the folder with a rule, then press delete after scanning through it.

Cross post from the retro MTB thread.

I have some 1997 Avid single digit 2.0 (or 20?) v brake calipers. The springs for the arms are separate with no adjustment screws (think this changed in 1998). I snapped one of the springs last night and would like to replace all 4 of them with new. Anyone know if I can or where I can find the parts?

I want to start messing around looping pedals with multiple instruments. Mostly drums and bass guitars. My question is can I use a single microphone for the drums and should I use a dual input looping pedal/station? Secondly what looping stations/pedals are recommended? Also do they quantise? Probably not. Anyway. Thanks. Also I don't want to spend all the monies.

Any recommendations for a good ice cube tray?

Something that doesn't leak if you don't place it the right way up and has a lid that actually stays on.

I’d like to create a lightweight rear rack for a dry bag containing sleeping bag, etc, which has been inspired by this. I am going to use a Roswheel Seat Pack Rack for the platform but I still need to figure out the upright supports and brackets, which need to be 420mm-ish.

Could anyone point me in the direction of some OTP support struts that I could use? The Carradice struts are too short. Hoping I don’t need to go DIY, but will if I have to.
