Any question answered...

Is there anyone who could pick up a pair of handlebars in Brixton and post them to me here in Berlin? They're being sold through the forum but the seller doesn't want to post, and I'd like to have them ASAP.

I will reimburse any reasonable expenses in Paypal money (immediately) or beers upon my return to London's famous London.

Come on LFGSS, show that you're better than my friends on Facebook!

Thanks

ENVE win.

Test Zipp-less? Fuck that.

But that's ^^^ full of stuff which only he ^ would understand, whereas the folks behind BikeRadar are well betterer and stuff.

You gotta earn your money somewhere.. mags don't get it all from ads.

No cash here, Chop.

Commuter racing needs are probably better dealt with over there.

The 'expecting every answer to be the one you want to hear' rule obviously.

Must spread apparently.

Question: are there any parts of this site (I have searched) that talk about track craft / specific track disciplines, and training / preparation etc?

I'd like to read up on the various events and etiquette / lack thereof in addition to getting involved at Herne Hill. Really want to do the Keirin day late this month.

Erm...

A good place to start might be the Track Forum.

lol, bollocks, thanks....................... shit

Since the search on this forum is about as useful as an English cycle lane, is there a topic about classic jersey (as in wools)?

Why's that? I've only ridden tubs once, on L'Eroica, and I had three punctures, got covered in glue, spent ages aligning tires, then had a nasty bulge and had to re-stick one, then rode the last 30 miles terrified as the rear tub kept sliding off centre. Put me right off them. With clinchers you carry a tube, lever and CO2 and you're away again in a few minutes.

Tubs do require more effort to repair, but you don't ride strada bianche every day do you?

Sealants like Vittoria Pit Stop do tend to repair most punctures, unless you tear or gash the tub, so are very useful.

Personally if it were me, I'd get a pair of light-ish aliminium factory built clinchers as the lower weight and stiffer ride would give you the performance boost you're after, with a lot less fuss. Anything from Campag/Fulcrum or Mavic would do the trick. I've a pair of Campag Eurus which I really rate, and a pair of Fulcrum Racing 3s which are also light and stiff.

Get a pump btw, as one day, and it will happen, your CO2 canister will fail and you'll be left stranded.

Its a pain, tried via an ISO now attempting another install.

Some of the Easton EA range of wheels are very good too. I can personallly vouch for EA90SLX.

When cabling, is there any reason not to run outers all the way from the shifters to the derailleurs?

The more cable outer, the more total compression of the outer you get when the inner is pulled, and the less accurate the shifting becomes. In theory what you want is bare inner between fixed cable stops wherever the cable run is in a straight line.

He's too small.

I had assumed it wouldn't be viable, but thought I'd better check. looks like I'd better get some clamp on downtube cable stops. Anybody know if the problemsolvers are any good?

does anyone know a good pub where the track will be shown this evening close to Chelsea/Battersea?

I plan to do this on my fatbike for winter resistance. Using Gore cabling. It adds weight, friction, and as Regal mentions, you lose some shifting sharpness. Totally doable though.

A bike tinkerer from MTBR's fatbike forum, bent metal tubing to act as cable out whenever flexibility was not required. Looked cool.

Failure, headache, annoyed and feel ill.

copper pipe?

Or brass, maybe? I know brass tubing is used for internal top tube cable routing on steel frames sometimes.

copper is easily available 1/8th diameter as copper pipe and easily bendable. Actually modelling pipe is a smaller diameter.

I have full cabling on my MTB. money well spent. I use the ride on cables. Done last october, still going strong and smooth now.
