  • I'm not sure whether the adjustable ones adjust enough to cater for road callipers, they are designed more to provide different lever feel to suit rider preference with V-brakes.

  • H+Son's new box-section rim, the TB14, is released at the end of February, according to their website. Anybody know of their expected price?

    interested to know this as well.

  • Why, when I hit a bump, did my brake tighten against the rim?
    My hand was not on the lever, I had to push the quick release button to let go of the tension.
    I'll rejig them, but any ideas? Mine include paranoid thoughts that the bike is about to break.

  • Definately time for a new bike.

  • Not that I claim to understand how magnets work but I think your brake pad has possibly become magnetised by the sudden jolt of hitting the bump and is now strongly drawn to the metal in the wheel rim.

    to demagnetize it you'll need to rub it with something else that's magnetic, I hear the metal (shiny) side of a CD works quite well.

    Front or back brake? If it was back (and you have horizontal drop outs) it may have moved the wheel. Have you checked your spokes / wheel for true?

  • Front brake.

    Yeah I'm not 100% that it full correct the cable pull, I have not compared however it does make a significant difference. I've an only hack MTB set up wth the old LX levers, one canti one v brake and the canti works very well after flipping the little nob on the lever to alter the cable pull. The canti is set up with a high mechanical advantage though so having a slightly longer cable pull is probably needed. The lever and canti set up prob meet in the middle in cable pull requirements so to speak.

  • How does a person change their username? I can't find the option anywhere

  • You have to ask Velocio. What you thinking of becoming? PP?

  • Bit wordy, P is an elegant sufficiency surely?

  • Word up, D.

  • I was going to go for 't myself

  • The second time now I have a tube which I could not inflate with various pumps?

  • The second time now I have a tube which I could not inflate with various pumps?

    This sentence makes no sense.

  • I had a puncture. Took new tube. Was not able to pump it up with various pumps. This had happened before with another tube as well a while back?

  • Have you pressed on the valve? Undone it a bit, jiggled it?

  • i was thinking of my actual name maybe, I'm undecided

    fussball club, have you pushed the screw thing in before you attach the pump? I find sometimes that helps

    what does 'wasteman' actually mean, and how does a person avoid becoming one?

  • Have you pressed on the valve? Undone it a bit, jiggled it?

    Yes, not pressed on the valve so.

  • Yes, not pressed on the valve so.

    This sentence is not too hot either. Is this (inner tube) resolved now?

  • No, this happened earlier today in the office.

  • Please could someone tell me how to work out average rpm from distance, time and gi?

    (17.6 mi/1hr10/78gi)

    Thanks

  • 76rpm ish

  • Recommend me a good value soft shell jacket (ideally with hood) that looks nice.
