Any question answered...

Would you need anything bigger than 40mm?

Nope

If was to happen to have some space available for storage purposes in a relatively central London location, would there be a market for bike storage?
By bike storage that could range from:
Secure, manned, daily locking (for those who don't like to leave their machine locked in the street for a day)
Clean down service
Long term storage (for those with multiple machines that can't keep them all at home) I could offer access to machines throughout working hours during the week and at certain pre-booked times over weekends.....
Any thoughts (serious or complete bollocks) would be greatly appreciated.....

It's not supposed to go up that hole.
P.S. They look a bit pricey for what they are - Are there any generic / knock off versions anywhere?

Use a rolling pin.

sweaty, best to start a thread for that question, you'll probably get more specific answers

@sweaty.. H2 would be competition

With Goldtec hubs can you upgrade the bearings to ceramic or would you have to buy brand new 'Pro' hubs?

You can buy various kinds of ceramic bearing which will fit normal Goldtec hubs, they are very common sizes. I can't think of any circumstances in which that would be a good plan, but yeah, you can do it.

@CB...Thanks dude. For specific answers I would need to give away more specific information. Something I can't really do at the moment which is why I posted here. A new thread would be the way to go and I'll have more details soon. I was just testing the water as such....

@Brave... What a place! Didn't even know they existed!I know On your Bike offer a similar service from SE1. Fortunately my Central London location postcode starts with an E :-)

Whats that film with the Monkee's in it? EVERYTHING STARTS WITH AN E?

I see no trace of The Monkee's in this

YouTube - ‪E-zee Posse-Everything starts with an E‬‏

Head?

maybe later

Are all those parts ceramic that have "CHINA" stamped on them ?

I don't get imperial measurements. Also decimal inches thingys are strange to me.

If I want a 26" MTB tyre for a tourer and my rims (for the city) right now are 26" Rigida 20mm wide (15mm inside), and presuming that those rims will not take more than 28-32mm rubber, what size tyres do I bloody need?
I gathered, that it would be something like 26" x 1.2 up to 26" x1.3. Anything else?

Which slicks of this size are good? I've ordered some Conti Sport Contact in 1.3" and also thought about Gatorskins in 1.2". Anything else?

Bloody headache this

Geax Street Runner's 1.25" are decent. They take 100psi. Conti Sport Contact's only take 65psi and I can definitely feel the resistance. Theres also the Shwalbe Marathon Plus in 1.35"

How do inner tubes lose so much air after being pumped up? For that matter why do balloons lose air? HUH?

Rubber is porous. UTFGS

Thanks.
65psi? Shiiit, it will feel like cycling on Super K.

They loose air on a quantum level.

I have Michelin WildRun´R 1.4" and Schwalbe Durano 1.35" slicks for my ex-MTB. In my garage, haven't tried them on yet.

@sweaty
if I could keep motorcycles there too I might be interested.

This is cross-posted from the running thread, apologies. Thought it would be seen quicker here and I'm currently having a Twitter argument about this so need to come up with an answer....

I've just got back from my second run - 1.1 miles. Pretty poor, but I'm going to keep trying.

Thing is, a colleague started giving me grief for only running a mile. I said I'd kick his arse on a bike, he asid it was easy with the help of a machine, and I said we should do a race; part run, part bike, winner has shortest summed time.

Now, what distances are fair? I can hardly run, but even a novice cyclist can move fairly quickly.

Help?!

why dont i get a sweaty face?

i would love one.

As one of the world's leading re-insurance lawyers, was Cliveo in attendance at this party?

cityjets ftw. cheap, high psi and durable.
