Current Projects chat and miscellany

I installed the crankset ill be using on my new bike, on my current bike today (sram force with 46/36 rings) had to adjust the height of the FD a bit, but wow i dont know if its the size difference in the rings, or the readjusting of the FD but front shifting is perfect with sram rival, which was previously been massively 'meh'

how did you get yours so flat whats in it! mine looks all pudgy

That's because there's nothing in it.

I tell a lie.

the top cap probably in it.

is that a ramblin roll?

It's not a ramblin roll, it's one of these

It's got a spare tube, multi tool, 2 levers and a 15mm spanner in it. Can keep a mini pump in my jersey till i buy a c02 thing.

So bluuuurrrgh

2 levers?

Co2 is a waste of money.

"Co2 [pump thingy] is a waste of money."

Why?

Why?

Because paying for a new set of cartridges every time you've used it up seemed a bit silly just to shave off a few grams, especially when it's possible to get multiple puncture in one day.

Some of us have puny arms and small tyres, making it challenging to get back up to c. 100 psi with a minipump

Then get a pump that you can put it on the frame, like the Zefal HPX.

Or get one of these;

I really like my blackburn 2 stage pump. Small and does high psi quite well, it doesnt look like planet x do them anymore though. Bikeradar review

only applies to legs.

That's like dissing tap water when you might as well dig your own well... Convenience and time wasted fixing a puncture roadside, let alone weight/volume makes it well worthwhile in my eyes.

been pissing about buying and fitting bits to this, gradually getting closer to finally letting go of my old mans old frame and buying something else.

it suits me fine for my daily hack, but the frame needs to be retired soon.

Not blowing you Ed and trolling are two different things. Lighten the fuck up!

something about illusion of going very fast on slim tyres

something about silly st angles, can you even brooks?

something about tilting saddle angle to crush nuts

something about raising seatpost to compensate for longer cranks

something about inadequate mudguards for riding through rivers

rinse and repeat

^^^ there's always someone on the ride with one of those.
