Any question answered...

Old St., ride into town up until - Tottenham Court Rd. - turn right onto TCR - turn left almost at the top into - Howland St. - ride right to end (it merges into New Cavendish St.) - right at the end it becomes - Marylebone High St - turn right onto it - (fourth or fifth) left onto - Paddington St - take any right of first few onto - Marylebone Road (hideous, but we've skipped most and with my route you're hardly on it) - turn left to join it - after half a mile you're faced with staying on up the slope when it becomes the Westway and too frantic for words, or leaving at the exit on the left into - Bishop's Bridge Rd - ride along until it merges into - Westbourne Grove - once it turns chi-chi towards the end, Portobello Rd will bisect it. Once there, call me and buy me a pint.

I take this route often. It'll take about 35 minutes.

I managed to pull a spoke through the rear drive side hub flange on Mavic Aksium, which is apparently a common failure on the older wheelsets.. Is there anything salvagable? Be a shame to ditch a perfectly good rim.

Keep the rim for when you wear through the brake track on the front one?

Yeah, I was thinking of rebuilding, but it obv wouldn't be cost effective. Is the rim even reusable with non-mavic spokes and hub?

It is, but Aksium rims are nothing special.

Pints for this man!

Second question - Surosa, as a brand, what's going on there? My friend has asked me about a bike branded as Surosa, but I've never heard of them before. Just rebranded frames a la Dolan?

Did he mean subrosa? BMX brand that make a few fixie skidding bikes.

I think so, sold by the Oldham Cycle Centre I think.

Does anyone know where I can buy a Velo Orange threadless BB (110mm) in the UK? Pedal Pedlar was the only place my google-fu turned up and they're out of stock.

EDIT: sorted

I am MTB noob but toying with an idea of Surly Karate monkey.
How are they measured up? The smallest frame has effective TT of 57.5cm on my current road bike I have 52.5 effective .. confused

Hello peoples, I recently got my frame back from repairs and and missing the fork crown race off my old Campy Mirage threaded headset. Does anyone know if I can get a compatible replacement or need to get a new headset altogether?

If you ride a road frame that small I strongly reccomend against a 29er. It will be too long, feel unweildly, be heavier, have compromised geometry etc.
29ers are generally ridden with very fat tyres which limits how short you can make a frame. Just get a normal 26er Mtb in size small.

What is the easiest way to find the CEO/director/big boss of a company? Looking for info on Breezemount UK Ltd.

You can get a basic company report for free on the companies house website, this will provide you with a list of that companies officers. Its all public information so is quite easy to find in other ways. If you want more information then you will need to pay for it but it is a couple of quid.

Mind you it will not give personal information about the individuals concerned so you would not be able to go to his house and wank into the petrol tank of his car based on the info you will receive. If you want to do that or similar you will need to take your stalking skillz up a notch.

Possibly what DFP said, but also consider you'll likely be using flats or risers so the reach to the contact points at the front will always be shorter compared to drop handlebar bikes.

I tried that. I couldn't find anything. Also, the address chh hold is different to the companies address on their website. Which should I send the letter to.

Ignore the sizing, go to a bicycle shop and take out a couple of MTB in different size to see which one feel more comfortable.

Nope. I found it, but that'll have to do... Ta, all.

Do you want what looks to be the boss's home address?

Erm, not planning on firebombing the guy, but I just want to send a letter to whoever is in charge. So preferably just name and title, then I'll send to head office.

Need help please. Any idea what you call the screw type pin-like bolts you can use to connect a chain as oppose to a traditional master link, or better yet where might you be able to get one? Cheers!

PS
It's for a D.I.D Racing Pro NJS chain if that makes a difference...

Are you just sending a friendly comment, or filing suit? Documents will be considered served if you send them to the registered address on file at Co.Ho.
