Any question answered...

Buy my Klein and I'll include the massive easter egg I have on top of the kitchen cupboard

Thanks all - unless someone says different it looks like a crabon fiber seatpost it is!

assemble it with the proper paste. I just spent two whole days chipping a swollen seatpost out of a frame, it is a very fiddly job to do without damaging the frame, and if the seatpost goes in a long way it can take a lot of work.

Smoked paprika is a good shout tho...

...not sure this person's cupboards are likely to have any in stock.

What can I use instead of bacon to give a smoky flavour for a veggie disk?

Vegetarians don't deserve bacon flavour.

Ten quid and a piece of the easter egg. My final offer.

^^ Is that actually lamb flavoured chocolate?

Please be so.

there's only one way that you are going to find out.

sooo, when i fitting my record pista crank arms to my campag veloce 111mm BB, why the fuck does it give me 45mm chainline!?

Damn and blast!

Where can I buy good quality discounted easter eggs? I want some fucking chocolate. None of this Snickers or Maltesers stuff - I'm talking that good shit from Bettys.

Last year Leonidas in Ealing was selling Easter eggs at 80% off the week after Easter.

because you need a 107 bb

because you need a 107 bb

In the transmission database there's quite a few people who've written that they've used 111mm campag BBs, which is why i'm now confused.

But wouldn't it be 105mm spindle anyway?

45mm chainline to 111mm BB
42mm chainline to 111-6=105?

i've somehow managed to loose all the water bottles i'd collected over the years and i need a couple more - but i don't want to pay for them - they're the kind of things people must give away proportionally right? any ideas - leads...

because you need a 107 bb

Current (i.e. since about 1985) Record Pista BB is 111mm.

Jordan; are you sure you're measuring right?

I'm pretty sure,
using vern calipers i measure the:

• left side of seat tube to right side of the chainring, and
  
• right side of seat tube to left side of chainring
  then the mean of the two is 45 mm :S
  
  

I've taken off the veloce BB but i should probs try again

any ideas - leads...

Stand by the side of the road at a ProTour race

What torque setting did you use when tightening the crank bolts? Did you lubricate the tapers and the bolt threads and under the bolt heads?

I don't have a torque wrench and I didn't lube either...
Should I grease it put a bit more effort in?

don't lube the tapers

lube the tapers

ftfy

Assembling tapers dry was discredited many years ago by much better engineers than you or me.

^^ Why not? It's what I've always done and I'm not dead yet.

Lube everything and torque the bolts to 40Nm (with a torque wrench - don't guess)

Chainline should be 42.5mm when it's all assembled properly. The other place where there is scope for a small amount of error is that the BB face might not be exactly 34mm from the seat tube centreline. For that matter, your track ends/dropouts might not be symmetrically disposed about the centreline plane of the frame, so getting the chainring exactly 42.5mm from the centre of the BB shell and the sprocket 42.5mm from the midpoint between the track ends still might not get the chain ring and sprocket centrelines precisely coplanar.
