  • Is it going to be raining like this on Sunday?

  • Yes.
    Worse than this.
    With a SSE wind.

  • need to remove my stronglight bottom bracket i bought this off ebay http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/110776668233?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649#ht_600wt_1037but way to big
    on the bottom bracket there are 12 teeth dont no what tool to use or buy

  • Yes.
    Worse than this.
    With a SSE wind.

    Fuck fuckity fuck.

    Will "light rain" overwhelm my overshoes and give me trench foot?

  • I've got a RH 8-speed something (I'll have to check the group, but it's a shimano) that I could let go for a small fee/ couple of pints...

    Sounds good mate, let me know when you find it...

    Proper cobble riding weather so HTFU and embrace it.

  • What Mr p said.
    It wouldn't be a real Roubaix in the dry.

  • Real men:



  • Will I fit an esb?
    5'5", long legs, short body, ride a 51cm, but idea TT is 50cm

  • If the esb geometry is similar to a typical trick frame*, there's a chance the top tube will be longer than usual to compensate for super-short BMX stem and riser.

    I'm afraid there's a huge chance it still may be quite big for you, but best to try one out if it's possible.

    *assumption base on the Charge Scissor and BMW's Launchpad.

  • Real men:

    Which Rapha top is the guy on the right wearing?

  • Am I right in my rough estimate of needing about 3 cans of top coat paint and 2 of primer to respray a smallish bike frame?

    I'm just trying to work out a ballpark cost for a home rattlecan respray - I know I'll need sand paper, etc. on top of that.

  • If you're just doing one colour then yes, you may even be able to get away with 2 if you are careful. And probably one can of primer, one of lacquer. What paint are you going to use?

  • Ask Spotter. He got a nice finish on a frame he painted with rattle cans

  • Cheers.

    Just toying with the idea at the moment as I'm thinking about resigning my beater for a bit once my gf's bike comes and my CP is finished.

    Something with a 2 colour fade. These would be the dream:

    ...but I think it would be more realistically based on the selection at halfrauds and my skills (or lack thereof). Either way something bright, with a fade.

    It's currently raw with chipped lacquer so it doesn't matter if it doesn't work out.

  • power straps work in a similar way in that you have to twist your foot to get it out, so you're probably used to the motion. But everyone has their first unclip fail while their mates are watching so don't get too cocky.

    Nearly went arse over tit today actually, but managed to unclip mid-fall and catch myself before it got too bad. Waiting behind a few cars at a red, pulled away and just clipped in when the guy ahead suddenly brakes and I have to lose a lot of speed quickly. Went over in slo-mo, as you'd expect. Naturally a few people saw!

  • can someone recommend me a cheapish torque wrench? bear in mind I know nothing about them and just want it to correctly tighten thomson stem, seat post etc bolts after breaking one

    thanks

    I haz a cleansweep v2 at home, yours for £10, never used 185mm.

  • why do my farts smell so bad?

  • Yoga

  • I like the look of the Giro Savant, will nip into Cycle Surgery tomorrow.

    ^ I've got a Giro Savant, it's very nice for me. Pricematch is your friend

    The number doesn't give any indication to the actual shape of your head.
    Some helmets are better suited for shorter rounded heads, others for longer narrow heads.

    Forget the numbers and buy the helmet which feels like it fits best. Remember to try it on with and without a cycling cap underneath as you may want a hat in colder weather (Or summer sun if you're thin on top (Intentionally or genetically)).

    went for the Giro Savant. It narrowly pipped the Spesh S-Works Prevail. Not because of cost though. I went in fully expecting to drop a good bit of cash but the Giro felt less intrusive. With the S-Works, I was constantly aware of a couple of pressure points, even though it is a lighter helmet.

    Rode about 15 miles this evening and it seems great. If anything I felt like my head was cooler. Happy.

  • need to remove my stronglight bottom bracket...dont no what tool to use or buy

    Cassette lock ring tool, probably. I'm guessing it's an SBB or SBBA, rather than a JP400
