Any question answered...

It's fine, you can always do the course at a shit uni.

uni and its a joke anyway. The 3rd year is the only one that really matters and it lasts about 6 months. most of the dudes on the course just got other people to do their work anyway. You'd be better off teaching yourself what you want to know and picking up your own jobs along the way to add to your resume.
.

So if teaching yourself is so great, why were you asking me about stuff. Maybe you shouldn't have chosen a shit University.

Cassettes, tiagra vs 105, how much difference is there other than weight?

We thought we had it bad because student loans had just come in, and grants had reduced by 50%. Turns out we had it easy. And our parents had the easiest life ever.

This. I didn't even get a grant.

Any difference between these?

Look very similar, both look to have tension adjustment, named slightly different....

Aren't the cheaper ones a bit lighter and more expensive?

Sorry, not that helpful. I think one is just the previous model.

EDIT: that's probably not correct as the image of the "Time XC2 Cross Country" is showing elsewhere as the '13 model. I'll bow out of this one I think.

^^ Yes.

Cheers.

Same pedal - just pre- and post- rebrand from Roc ATAC to XC2.

Is Pro made by Shimano?

Not exactly. Most of it is made in Taiwan by the same people who make everything else, but it is all selected by Shimano (originally Shimano Benelux BV, but I think the head office sticks its oar in now), some of the stuff is specifically designed by/for Shimano and the wheels have Shimano hubs made by Shimano in Shimano factories.

Do we know if there is any difference in quality? People were saying Time quality has deteriorated recently on other models....

Don't know personally, I've owned three or four sets of the Rocs but none of the new ones yet.

Hi all, this is a question for the architects / engineers / CAD people on here...

I have an old folder of PLT files from a previous job. Files have been created with Autocad. I have some of the original CAD files, but not all the ctb files, and it would be too much work anyway. Is there any way of batch printing the PLT files into a PDF? I tried using the printfile application but it failed...

Any ideas please?

Saw this whilst cleaning, is it fecked?

I wouldn't think so. When the builder do not use a specific end piece at the end of the stay to connect to the seat cluster (don't remember the name of that part...) then the stay is cut and filled with a little plate. Here is seems that the plate is coming off, but I would be surprised if it was structural... This is something that Barry Witcomb explained to me once when he repaired my Dave Russel, around the same area.

Of course show your bike to a professionnal for peace of mind!

the XC2 doesn't have tension adjust.

Certain? In the photos it does...

100%, I tried to return mine because of that but no cigar.

@veLLo: have you tried using Distiller? don't know if it would work but since it takes other plotfiles (.ps) might be worth a shot. send me one if you want I can try.

Thanks fella, very interesting info.

Puts me at some peace of mind before I get it checked out!

Is Tange 110 LN-7922 BB a good buy? Any other recommendation for a BB that is good and will last?

Shimano BB-UN55. Under £20, millions of satisfied customers.

millions of satisfied customers.

Except me, 'cos they don't make a Swiss threaded one :-(

Take the hint.

Sram Apex BB squeak!

It's on the drive-side.
I've re-fitted (re-greased and re-torqued).
It vanishes for about 50km if I squirt GT85 between the crankarm and spindle – so I guess it's the rubber seals making the sound?
