Any question answered...

VB swears by open source maps for his garmin

"where the fuck am I"

Hah!

MOC (I believe) contributes to them, so I would hope that they would be good.

yeah I had a similar problem with Specialized tubes. New wheels, rim tape, tyres etc. and they just kept breaking.

yeah they suck balls

I had one without the metal twisty nipple bit in the end of the valve once, wtf

I used open source ones on my jaunt down to Spain over the past month - very very very good. A little bit fiddly to set up compared to the paid for ones but really not that hard if you've got the slightest bit of technical nous.

My problems arose from having too long a route and the device freaked out so it involved basically making a large number of overlapping routes which worked fine.

done!

Flip it up and twist?

I don't even want to begin to imagine what Rik's question was.

Hay peeps, You have probably missed me for a while.

Right! I sent my bike in to LBS and he put my groupset on my bike but im not happy with what hes done.

Question! When i try to change gear with the dule brake/gear levers they are really hard to push not smooth movement as they should be, would you know of a way i can fix this?

I was thinking it might be the tension in the cable or maby (bike has no cable stopper under BB) he used what i can only describe as a jubilee clip but not put it on top of the cable (outer housing) hes just jubileed the cable. As a way to stop the outer housing to move to maby this is why changing gear is so hard?

That front mech cable routing looks pretty bad. The inner should not be touching the frame like that. Hard to see if the rear mech cable is the same but if it is then that would explain the stiff shifting.

Oh yes both like that and i paid £45 for him to do it. AHHHHH!!!!

what was the shop?

I'm confused though. Why the need for that clamp thing anyway?

^ ha dont i know it.
a local one in brookmans park and he sent it off to his mate who is better with bikes! :( so there is no excuse.

shifters on peugeot frame that should have them on the tube not handlebars. No cable stopper on tube.

Yep, so ideally that clamp needs to be moved up the downtube to where the shifters originally were. The gear cables can then lead straight to the guide on the bottom bracket shell.
