  • ^the frame deserves better than those ones, though.
    Happy to send you photos of my setup tonight if you've got any frame-specific queries

  • Thanks folks, that was super fast. Didn't know those little things existed.

    Will take you up on that offer Tom, don't want to be disrespecting the new LOOK :)

  • Where do I get a valve extender for the Zipp that arrived today? 440.

  • What tub's on there? I've got one of the vittoria comes off at the tyre replacement valves lying around. Mines a big one, though.
    fnar.

  • Vittoria Rally, 58mm deep.

    You would have done if you had read my parts bin clearance thread

    I was on holiday when you made that thread :)

  • I've got a pair of the Ritchey cable adjusters that go into the frame BNIB, you can have them if you get KOM on Taymount Rise.

  • you're not allowed to use a moped though.

  • What is the difference between a font and a typeface? Is it just a generational nomenclature thing?

    Font is to typeface, as CD is to music apparantly

    hhmm, think it would be easier to click add to basket, fill in some details and press confirm ;)

    I've never ridden up that way before actually, but I imagine I should as part of training for the Chiltern 100.

    Thank you. So most people do use it incorrectly. my Mum was a graphic/commercial artist in the days of kerning and she always calls it a typeface....

  • I need to re-install a cup-and-cone BB, but which way round should I put the spindle? Didn't realise it was slightly longer one side than the other so didn't make a note of which way round it was when I took it out...

    Looks a bit like this:

    Am I right in assuming the drive side will need the extra length?

  • yes.

  • coolio

    interesting, I wish I knew more about fonts or I should say typefaces. What works best for different applications. It's a complex science.

    Which used to be an art....

    Graphos will know - I've forgotten his name - he's a famous 'post computer design' typographer. I heard an interview with him where he was discussing the need for irregularity in type - especially now everything is laid out on a computer using digital fonts.
    Maybe human eyes will get used to hard sterility and relentlessly clean edges but in the meantime we need a bit of the hand-made.

    I used to make flyers with Letraset when you could buy sheets of the stuff as all the Graphic design firms went digital. Such cool stuff to fuck around with.

  • it still is an art I hope! - What I meant to say was that I'm really interested in why some type is easier to read and the science behind that i.e WHY IS THIS HARDER to read than this?

  • Wireless cycling computer that do cadence?

    Cateye Wireless Strada seems to be the top choice, anyone got any nerg for it? Also, does anyone know how easy it would be to switch it between two bikes? I want to use it on my fixxie skiddah and my road bike...

  • Cateye Strada is fine, I use a non-cadence one. It's easy to swap between two bikes if you buy a second bike kit. However, these tend to be almost as expensive as another computer.

  • Yep, I'm missing the band that attaches the computer to the handlebars- a spare part that must cost ~£0.02 to produce, and Cateye want 80% of the cost of a new computer for it.

    Fuck 'em.

  • Easy solution.

  • Just found a wireless Sigma 1606L in my parents house. Saved me some money on the Cateye!
