Current Projects chat and miscellany

Ah I see

update of my soma

And a new one,
Work in progress

So today a friend had valve extender stuck in 90mm carbon rim. But I got it out in less then 30 minutes, so anything is possible.

What's so difficult about this?

these two are quite nice
where are you from?

painted the brake surface on my rims.

Well nice. Plenty of masking tape?

nope none, used a paint pen, one for writing on metal (waterproof) and was very careful. I'm keen to see how well it holds up.

how much reach will modern campagnolo ergolevers add to the bars?
I'm trying to figure out if I should compensate in stem length or bar geometry.

I like the Soma – looks solid.

I have a related question. How long is this?

Took my advice then. Looks very good.

You rusticus on IG? If so, then yes! Good shout. Worked a treat and was much easier than spray paint.

Can I have some sturmey archer help here please?

Does anyone know which direction the thread is on the ball ring on a sturmey archer speed hub? this is the newer rd5 hub.

This one http://www.sturmey-archer.com/products/hubs/cid/4/id/33.html

And this is the part http://www.sjscycles.co.uk/sturmey-archer-ball-ring-nig-hsa437-prod19160/

I can't make out which direction the htread is in this picture.

Also does anyone have a C spanner for removing one of these? I'm currently try the hammer and lockring spanner/punch but it's not budging. I used this technique before and it worked fine. I can't remember the thread direction and it's being very stubborn.

Wonderful bike and gorgeous photos!

That looks uncannily like the bike sheds at my old flat in Haarlem.

So my current project is keeping my piano tekkers on point. It's causing space issues though:
