  • What's the typeface H+ Son use on their Archetypes?

  • I used
    http://www.myfonts.com/WhatTheFont/
    and got
    http://www.myfonts.com/fonts/t26/tempelhof/regular/ but that has square lines, it's possible that they modified a printing font like that to make vinyl cut letters work better, as square corners peel rather easily.

  • Cool, thanks.

    I think that's near enough for me.

  • Is there still that nice bar in the BFI inside the actual building.

    Someone wanted a suggestion for somewhere nice to meet someone for a drink near waterloo st. They pretty much refuse to believe that there is a bar inside as I can't find any evidence on the internet.

    Something based on DIN Rounded Light would be my guess?
    (Sorry for the slow response)

    yes it is still there

    also Concrete, the bar at Hayward Gallery, and the Kings Arms on Roupell St (but it's rammed most of the time)

  • how feasible is it to put as wide/knobbly tyres as clearances allow on a road bike and go round, say, bewl water http://www.bewlwater.co.uk/page.php?section=2&page=4 or other woodlandy/tracky routes?

    Will carbon seatposts/forks/steerers/etc immediately fall off?

  • Anyone know if these top cover things are replaceable on 7800 shifters? or even removeable, so I could press them out and repaint?

    Track conditions currently are very muddy and uneven...Cyclists should use cycles built for off road cycling when rides are open.

    Does this mean that when they are dried out you can use your hybrid/road bike, or that they always recommend MTB? I'd guess the former, based on other family-oriented parks. Either way, you can ride a Roubaix-qualified* road bike pretty much anywhere, although it might be slower than an MTB and you might want to walk some technical sections. I'd avoid using any real weight-weenie stuff (anything which comes with a rider weight limit, light rims with thin tyres etc.), but I ride my 585 on gravel and dirt paths on RS80-C24 wheels with 700x28C Vittoria Rubino Pro Tech, and it would be under the UCI weight limit if I took one of the bottle cages off.

    Your limiting problem is likely to be how much tyre you can squeeze into the frame and fork, not many road frames will take >30C, but not many tyres <31C have enough tread to be useful in mud.

    *Doesn't need Specialized decals, whatever they say.

    http://techdocs.shimano.com/media/techdocs/content/cycle/EV/bikecomponents/ST/EV-ST-7800-2258_v1_m56577569830609263.pdf shows how to remove them, along with the part number if you want to try to find some new ones. At £22.99 each, you might want to have a go at cleaning yours up before going shopping :-)

  • Crikey that's pricey! Thanks for the link Tester, will just try and improve them myself.

  • anyone know of a sparky on here?

    i know there's a skills thread but it's quite slow compared to this one

    Same question for 5600

  • Same answer: Google component name (e.g. ST-5600) + EV+ pdf to look at the exploded view and parts list, then google the part number for the name plate + screw (Y6KD98030) and find a shop with stock at £6.99 each

  • I've been riding in all weather without a 5600 STI cover after a crash for a couple of years and can report they don't really do much.

  • Do you not notice the aerodynamic imbalance?

  • Thanks tester. I figured that they dont do much but I feel like a hobo riding without them.

  • What's the shortest valve extender available, please??

  • How many angels, et cetera

    Yes.

    Not using one?

  • Good idea Hippy. I need air in my tyres though. I'm a bit faster. Not much though.

  • I've seen 20mm extenders
