Any question answered...

With b123s, a jaguar stem and fancy tape all secured by 1 allen bolt... what's the best way to save those? can't exactly secure them with a cable...

Sorted.

?

also with a hinged brake lever, that would make it 2 bolts...

or 1 bolt and, quick release on brake and pop the cable out.

You're only ever going to slow thieves down, not stop them.

Get a Brompton. Don't lock it outside. Sorted.

Undo 1 Allen bolt, take bars and stem with you wherever you go.

^^Fuck yeah!

so basically i will be fine. good to know. just wanted to make sure.

I will have my nice bike with couplers inside under my bed all the time unless I am riding it, but I will be bringing my lock-up bike for getting around the city. I just won't treat it any different than I treat my current lock jobs

is it nuknow that locks his bike to his sink?

tester yes that seems the only solution... so instead i use a 2nd setup worth a little less around town.

If you know how to lock up and look after your stuff (and it sounds like you do). You should be ok.

I have no idea how Wiganwill has kept his QR wheels all these years though? Perhaps by riding through every dog shit between drops?

anti theft paste, innit

could anyone point me in the direction of some cycling organisations based in london? im not too sure of the details but the company i work for are looking to set up some kind of organised ride in conjunction with a festival that they run.

What festival is it?

a large one :)

5th floor crew? The Nun-Punchers?

yes! thats who i was thinking of, the LCC, cheers man.

which of these would fit a 531 seat tube with a 27.2 seatpost in it?

AND the cable guide under the chainstay of my Raliegh seems to be too small to get a ferrule in, but big enough for the cable outer to slip all the way through. Are there different sized ferrules?

Yes there are different sizes though I would have thought the standard one you've got would be fine? Can do it t'toher way or would that not make sense?

I can't decide on a wheel dilemma.
I have a pair of Mavic Open SUP CD rims, one of which is laced up to a Campag C-Record front road hub. The rear hub is a C-Record screw-on road hub laced to a knackered Open Pro. My intention was to replace knackered Open Pro with good Open SUP. All with me so far? Good.

Instead I changed the entire wheelset to Campag Omega on C-Record 8 speed cassette so these wheels are never going back on the road bike.

Do I rebuild as planned and sell a complete 7 speed wheelset?
Do I tear the front down and sell 2 hubs and 2 rims separately?
Or do I take the SJS double-fixed hubs I have and build up a fixed wheelset?

in the case you go for the sale option, better to sell sell 2 hubs and 2 rims separately.
you will get more pounds

I made more money for cutting shit out.
Strangely enough, because spokes and wheel building aren't cheap either.

is there a market for pre-enjoyed spokes too?

it will make sense if there is one, as spokes are bloody expensive, but saddly there is not none

Shit, C-Record goes for a bit on ebay if you polish it a bit doesn't it?
Right. Option C I think. Sell the hubs and build a fixed wheelset with the rims.
