Any question answered...

It's a bit retro but in theory the police deal with lost property found in a public place if it has something like a serial number on it.

Doesn’t pizza rack mount to mid fork mounts and crown? Doesn’t use the axle

It's a Condor one, pizza rack as a generic term. It has fixings for the front axle

I'd say no. My Wald basket instructions said no qr. I stripped the solid axle from an old wheel and used the hardware from the original wheel to mount the basket.

And the award for the most random question goes to…

Does anyone recognise what supermarket or brand this washing up sponge came from? It’s an excellent washing up sponge. Mainly because the rough bit is co-moulded with the soft bit, not glued on like the green ones, so it’s not going to come off.

I dont think pizza rack is a generic term, but no I wouldn't mount on the qr

Thanks, much as I thought. A friend bought one from Condor and was told it was ok on a QR but even the product description on their site says you need a solid axle.

I'd say pizza rack was a generic term.

I wouldn't. But it looks like people are trying and I'm not against it since Specialized are cnuts.

Will a long stem with swept back bars handle the same as a short stem with straight bars?

A friend has achieved an upright position by using an adjustable stem at near vertical. I rode the bike and the steering was very twitchy. Would positioning the stem more horizontal then adding some swept back risers (to achieve roughly the same hand position) change the feel of the steering?

Will a long stem with swept back bars handle the same as a short stem with straight bars?

Yes, if the hands end up in the same place relative to the steering axis.

I thought that had to be the case, thanks for confirming.

Anyone know the brand of these? Got them from a brocante about 10 years ago in France for pennies and would like to get a few matching bits as a few of the saucers are a bit cracked.

Saint (st) Clement (Google image plus 5003 France) you can see the SC in the middle.

Ah super, thanks! Now I have that, 5003 is the design model, and I think the stamp is 1920s which is cool.

Lovely cups, good to know a bit more.

Is there a specific "what saddle thread"? Or is the saddle library the best place to ask?

Basically I want a saddle for a fairly upright dad bike/90s mtb (handbar grips a couple of inches above the stem).

My other saddles are:

• Road = 143mm Romin
  
• Relaxed flat bar Cx = carved C17 Cambium
  
  

Possibly thinking about a Brooks, but they're pricey. What are all the wide sit bone fellas riding on their gravé hybrids?

Cheers

if my foot’s shape has developed around how i walk, and perhaps influences it although I can’t be sure it is the cause, and this has a knock on impact on tendon tightness, muscle weakness and over use and various joint pains, what is the type of clinician I need? I am asking for a friend but I had something similar when I was a kid and who I saw was great, looked at how I walked a lot, made me orthotics, helped me strengthen the right bits etc only I don’t remember who this person was

I've found the Fabric Scoop similar to the Romin but Ok for being a bit more upright. It's what I used on my cross bike.

I have a Romin on my drop bar bike and a Brooks C15 on my upright, riser bike. Sounds like we like similar saddles. I did have a Flite before the Brooks which I liked as well (just not quite as much as the Brooks). Might be worth a go?

We do sound similar! I used to have flights on everything until my bike fit said it was too narrow.

^^will check it out.

i’m thinking podiatrist but one that deals especially with joints/bones relation to lower limbs ?

I like the seller italia slr gel flow with the normal cutout. Have them on all my bikes. Has padding, a cutout for the gouche and good for wide sit bones. Also to be had relatively cheaply.

Orthopedist. They’ll treat and advise on structural issues involving bones and muscles, and refer you to a podiatrist for any issues specifically in your feet.

You could try to go straight to a podiatrist, ideally one that specialises in correcting gait and posture, because there are some that specialise in, e.g., deformities, reconstruction, rehab.
