Any question answered...

Check Pearson Hanzo, they still have some large one, but I think the headtube length is a little on the big size for what you want.

Frame-only?

The 1kW is good for winter use, since 80% of it is emitted in the IR range so it keeps you warm too. If you want more light than heat, get fluorescent or LED lamp heads.

I like the idea of them acting as heaters very much..

Bolt on sprockets started as a retrofit to front hubs. Manufacturers have since seen the market for them so start coining in.

As with DA-10 unless people can see a big difference then they won't change. The different shapes of splines means nothing to most people who use them.

Also, bolt on works really well for a monoblock aluminium hub shell, whereas we've all seen what a bad idea steel sprockets on aluminium splined carriers are, see Shimano's change to Ti cassette rotors on DuraAce mid-cycle; FH-7800 and wheelsets based on it had aluminium rotors which lasted a very short time (both in service and in the catalogue) before being replaced by FH-7850/WH-7850

The Miche system could quickly be adapted to use a circlip. Anyway, get back to my stuff.. I need something to ride that doesn't require a rebuild every month.

Would you like a surly pacer?

It couldn't, and shouldn't.

Couldn't, because without a reverse threaded lockring, it will try to wind the carrier off the hub, putting a very large axial load on the retaining circlip. Their isn't room to lock the carrier into place and add a circlip retained in a groove in the carrier.

Shouldn't, because whatever you do with it the torque is still being transmitted through the 1.370"x24 thread, which is where the fundamental problem lies.

Shit thread.>>>>>>>>>..

Probably only reamed down a short length. They're from the era of the fluted Campag posts which were quite short

Thats a similar seatpost to whts in there atm, any idea if i can get this fixed in london?

Find a shop with seat tube reaming tools, or much filing with a long file.

Frame builder will probably be a better bet.

What would be stiffer, an early specialized tri spoke clincher, or a mavic 3g? And are weight limits all that important (for disc wheels)? (75kg limit, 85-90kg self)

Me? Not sure how it would differ from the Kinesis. Vert. dropouts?

I forgot they are actually a thread on carrier and not a solid piece. It has been many years since I owned one. Anyway I still think the circlip idea is shit and in 100 years we'll still be using thread-on cogs.

Ask Scoble, he always has the best advice about what to do with alliums

Inter alia pieces of excellent advice.

Probably not very different, I just need to get round to selling it.

What size it be?

Easton, White Industries, Sugino and Halo have all tried splines, and 6-bolt is gaining ground. Against that, track racers are astonishingly conservative when it comes to equipment, so you're probably right.

When my hoverboard goes in for it's 50k service I'll be swapping out the screw-ons for bolt-ons. Those hovertrackies won't know what's hit 'em.

Have you done any calculations to see what sort of length frame you'd need in order to avoid toe-overlap with midfoot/28c/mudguards?

Frame-only?

The Alu Pearson cost a bit more but it have a reasonable headtube length and a normal geo (Hanzo seemed to have a rather slack headtube for some reason);

56, it's basically this but with sks guards and a rack.

Two questions about my pedal

firstly where can i get a new end cap?

Secondly i noticed that that adjustor screw thing seems to be sticking out a fair old bit and the spring next to it is loose, should i be worried?

would anybody who is not a cunt wear these?

Anyone on here qualified to give singing lessons or know someone who is? I'm happy to trade for cash monies and/or bike servicing
