  • Might have been copper. Cant find the pic.

    Involved dirt drops, single speed, and fully rigidness. Gotta love the niches.

  • This is where electric cabling is a significant advantage

  • I have full cabling on my MTB. money well spent. I use the ride on cables. Done last october, still going strong and smooth now.

    Have a box of this in the parts bin waiting for my fatframe. I was digging around this morning for some inners, and found it. Forgot I had it. Found a bloody 10spd XTR chain, I'd forgot I'd bought too.

    This build is obviously gone on a little too long.

  • This is where electric cabling is a significant advantage

    Call me when I can verbally ask my I-phone to change gear for me via bluetooth.

  • Do you have separate parts bins for each bike?

  • So, if I'm right, I can just buy some campag cabling and run it with outers all the way from the shifters to the derailleurs. Or do I not actually need campag cables? I'm a little green when indexed gears and cabling are involved, ie. never before.

    My favourite option so far is to find some clamp on cable stops, but I've had no luck finding them in silver, which is a must really.

  • Do you have separate parts bins for each bike?

    No. Its a mess.

    Although I do have as many bins as bikes. So maybe....

    (have fatbike cranks, pedals, chainring, and rear QR hidden in my office at work. Waiting to be drip fed into the workroom at home)

    You dont need Campag cables. But you do need campag compatible ones.

  • Cool, I guess I'll just do a bit of rummaging for a good deal then. and some fecking silver cable stops! Why do SJS sell all the origin8 clamps but the double in silver?!

    If you look through the last 3 days of CP thread we discussed this for mine as i want to run sti's on an old frame with no cable stops on the DT or brazeons available

    Ended up getting an old downtube shifter set off CB, taking the levers off and then i need to get downtube cable stops to attach to the clamp-on down tube shifter

  • Yeah, I saw. Just disregarded that and I dunno why. Good shout, thanks...

    Why don't you get the anodised ones, then strip and polish them?

  • Failure, headache, annoyed and feel ill.

    Sounds like you have xp installed correctly and it's working as designed.

    I may do that.

  • Sounds like you have xp installed correctly and it's working as designed.

    All I want to do is install xp on a lappy to do a quick bios upgrade as there is an issue with the dvd drive.

    Have a iso made by imgburn and how do I make the magic work googling is being a pain. So far three tries and still in this boat.

  • I see plenty of ways to do it if you already have XP on another machine, for example http://www.techspot.com/community/topics/how-to-install-windows-xp-on-a-netbook-using-a-usb-flash-drive.160906/

  • No I have vista and fedora but the vista disc is a computer maker supplied one.

  • Ladies and gents, I'm thinking of buying a decent handlebar bag e.g. the carradice carradura (relatively cheap)

    My question is, how bad would it be for my gear cables structurally and shifting functionally if I mount a handlebar bag like this:

    Has anyone had experience of riding like this for extended periods of time?

  • HHmmm, I dont have experience doing it, but from a gut feel it doesn't look good to me. I think the wobble of the bag as you ride would cause gear outers to fatigue around shifter hole. And the sharp bend at the bag will cause increased friction between the inner and outer which would decrease your shifting performance longetivity too.

  • do you know what bag that is?

  • ^^Yeah that bend is quite disconcerting, although the bag doesn't look as if it will move that much?

    ^And yeah I mentioned that I have my eye on the carradice carradura, and that is a pic of it fitted found on google

  • Replace the cables and use longer outer runs, and possibly a tandem inner for the rear, so it clears the bag. I did it on mine a long time ago, and it has worked perfectly, although the bag I use is a bit bigger than the one in the pic, so the space is even more restricted.

  • Does anyone have a camera capable of reading MiniHDV tapes (note the H i.e. the little cream coloured ones) or a deck that I could come and use for about 2 hours? Either tomorrow or Saturday ideally? Happy to pay but if I can't get access before Monday I'll go through usual hire co. and it's too late to get one delivered tomorrow.

    Thought I'd capture all the rushes but missed at least one tape and a big section of another. That or they didn't record - in which case I'm *really *scuppered.

  • Just gone back over the files and there's "Untitled 24" which is missing and the section in question - the fact that there's a gap suggests that because of file size it didn't copy when I copied from drive to drive - though I should have seen an error message.

    At least it at some stage existed - also camera B which had the same action but locked-off from another angle. I remember playing back in camera - but again I suspect it didn't copy across from drive to drive due to size issues.

    Panic semi-averted.

    But still, if someone has a deck so I can recapture, would be veeeerrry grateful.

    fitting V-brake noodles to guide the cable out of the shifters might help. Googling reveals this isn't a new idea, but doesn't throw up much specific information.
