I can only find the Cadence in black, i already got some Black Exuster (spell that right?) straps from Velosolo that are fine, just curious

^I think you'll probably need to go direct to source

Cross posted from the Ogre thread. I haz trailer now :-)

I love my carry freedom trailer, one thing you need to look out is making sure you got the right pressure.

too high - bounce at the slightest lump on the road.

too low - feel draggy.

You could transport an awful lot of beer on that thing... FTW \o/

Or move house, that was fun while it lasted (10 miles each way).

What do you recommend Ed?

Depend on the payload really, heavier - higher pressure.

I forget what I usually set mine at, but unladen it's like 15-20psi.

90kg apparently. It'd be pretty thirsty work hauling all that......

... oh, wait

^^ Cheers Ed. I'll experiment.

Roberts got new boots...

Joe in hipster media shocker...

Turned my first fixed gaspipe conversion to a singlespeed pothole jumper with 37c tyres. Would probably need a sliverish seatpost and a classic headset but will sell it probably..

My campag chorus rear mech is stuck open. As in the cage doesn't automatically hold the chain in tension. It still moves, but needs an awful lot of force to do so, even after disassembly, a petrol bath, re-lube and re-assembly.

Is it fucked?

sounds like the spring is knackered

pay attention to the bits on spring setting

That's what I feared...
Although I didn't actually realise you could get right into the springs. Shall have a fettle tomorrow. Thanks.

I'd rep you if I could.

Ok so last night I decided I would start a new project for myself because my old bianchi is too small for me. I bought this new one of eBay today, Not to keen on the yellow but it's more my size so ill give it a go. Any ideas on how it should look. Many thanks guys.

RVT is a good start for that kind of experimentation, if you decide you like it The Hoist is just down the road.
