Front wheel's on backwards

^the side the skewer is pointing out is irrelevant to which way round the wheel is - and it can go either way anyway.

sorry if i missed something.

You have it on the same side that you have the back one, for reasons of looks and properness.

Plus Shamals with mudguards

I think the rear mudguard is to reflect the light from the downward angled rear light.

Update on he tubeless endeavor.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

Spent a couple of hours pumping the track pump like a man pocessed. Brushed the beads repeatedly with soap suds, pumped some more. Ended up looking like the aftermath of a one man foam party. Beads still not seated.

One wheel looked half way there, so I chucked some stan's no-tubes in. Started the process again, and all I achived was to escalate the foam party look, to workshop bukkake.

Have taken wheels to work today to play with our compressor.

I've cocked up, completely forgot about the brake nut fittings. I don't really want to drill my Gazelle either

Such an idiot

What do you mean?

Ha suprlolz.

But what's bukkake?

That was a little nonsensical. I got a 600 set cheap off retrobike, rather excited about the chance of going for a ride this weekend but completely overlooked the brakes. My Gazelle frame was made for the old hex nut ones, bummer

Ha suprlolz.

But what's bukkake?

try entering bukkake into google images with no filters and i think you will get a pretty decent idea of what it is...

Make sure your boss can see your screen and your browser window is maximised.

Like a 'money shot' only NJS.

With the help of the compressor, we have in our lab, I have inflated the front wheel a couple of times. The rear is still being a cnut. I shall put off the application of soap suds or tyre latex untill the boss has left.

Having a one man foam party with bukakke finale can be frowned upon in research labs.

Ha suprlolz.

That's more like it.

Anyone bored of Yoda memes, might want to put me on ignore for a while.

It is a type of noodles.

Max, no rattlecan, no sticker.

Get the stickers made before even thinking about trash talking, mon frére.

hello guys, i was trying to put a new bottom bracket on my bike but the shell was 66mm instead of 68.. And the only spacer i had was 3mm. Now the chainset is 2mm off from what it was supposed to be and the chain makes some noise.. Is that really bad? Do i need to find a proper spacer or is it fine to leave it as it is..?

i don't exactly follow the math, because it sounds like you can get a chainline X+1mm and that really should be perfectly fine... eitherway, i would measure it carefully and fix it.

It's not hard to drill the rear hole bigger, done it a couple of times, even have the drill bit kicking round somewhere (I think)

Already on it darling, expecting them to turn up just after I'm back from Italy.

I just bought this:

First bike in 15 years or more. All I know is that it says Peugeot Performance 1000 on it, has 14 gears and was made 1992 or onwards...going to keep it with the gears for while then make it single unless I find something else I like. Anyone any info on this bike? I had the choice of two peugeot frames but the other was about 60cm...just too big.
