MG- Don't think it's particularly large - I tried a 27.2 in it and it was no dice - Plain gauge usually is 26.4 - 26.8

The seatpost I used was 25.6 or 25.4, with a 1mm shim (just checked order on crc account) - So took it up to 26.4 - 26.6 or thereabouts.

Oh really. FFS. I am doing it with my dressmaking measure I suppose... you live and learn.

So yeah I've got a 25.8, 26.4/6, 27.00 and 27.2mm going spare - All short though, how much extension do you think you'll need?

Otherwise it's a case of taking it to a bike shop and trying a few out - or if you can get a set of digital calipers on it then you'll know for sure

My Polo bike wheels rule.

I made them out of sticky back plastic and Fairy Liquid Bottles.

My 'heres one i made earlier' was a complete fail and the bastards have buckles =/

Yeah I know what I should do. I was just being lazy/really busy.

Was that the nice one behind the counter or the one who hates you all but took a shine to me?!

I don't know, they all hate me

You're probably their best customer!

need a couple of bottle cages if any has any?

I've got two adjustable bottle cages, like the top peak ones. will take anything from a beer can to a tiny bottle of water to a tea flask. £5 each, new in packet. drop me pm if they're any good / in budget.

I have one you can have and another you can borrow. Also, the mudguards which I used on your bike, but I'll need those back too.

Ah bottle cages, I forgot I have to give mine back this week. Anyone got any I can borrow for Berlin too? (broke)

I have a brand new one of these either of you can have:

Bought a silver one as a second cage for my Trek, and then realised I only have one set of mounts! Other bike wants a black cage ;)

I can stick it in the post or if I manage to get over your way soon I'll bring it with. Or I'm hoping to get a few people to ride out to a pub which is between Warwick and Solihull if anyone fancies meeting there tomorrow eve (see Lets go ride thread).

Have you guys got an up-to-date list of stuff that you all need? I can dig through my garage potentially. I also have that rack and panier bags someone can borrow for the ride.
