Any question answered...

Condor usually has a decent selection (Continental, Challenge and Vittoria). I would've thought Mosquito might be worth a look too.

Helpful, thanks.

Cut down to Charlotte st and there is the Firzroy Tavern (Samuel Smiths, so cheap)

Much obliged

Beaten to it.

Another recommendation for the Fitzroy here.

Building my new bike up, doesn't seem to take a standard rear brake caliper. The bolt is not long enough to get through, and suggestions?

Are you trying to fit a caliper designed for use will and Allen-key nut to a frame designed for use with a hex nut?

What's the difference?

Oh I see. Sorry I was being dumb. No the rear brake bridge is modern and designed to take a recessed allen nut type brake but the hole doesn't seem quite wide enough to fit the nut into the recess

Metric and imperial?

Paint getting in the way?

right, something seems to have formed in the bolt of my cleats on the bottom of my shoes, ive tried hammering it out but its solid as a rock

i need to get the screws out to replace the cleat, can anyone think of a method of getting it out other than a drill, which i dont have

probably is a small rock. lever it out with a knife?

GT85 and a flathead screwdriver.

You remember that thing which was on all boy scouts' pen knives in the olden days for getting stones out of horses' hooves? That's what you need.

He is too young to remember the olden days. An xbox does not come with that stone removing tool.

The problem comes when the brake track gets properly hot. If you don't ride down mountains, you'll probably live.

What are my chances of survival if I use a 16H rim for a rear wheel?

Will you be riding it?

That's the plan.

Hmm, it might not directly lead to your death, but you will die.

Right, hubs time.

I now run a 7 speed friction set-up, eliminating the cog I don't need and ensuring a decent chainline with a spacer behind the cassette, it drawn to me that a trail hubs with a narrower body would be better, especially with the wider flange.

Trouble is, the Hope one I have my eyes on that can run 6 cog on it have a disc mount, am I out of luck looking for a trail hubs without a disc mount?

What are my chances of survival if I use a 16H rim for a rear wheel?

If it's a Shimano Sweet-16 on a solo bike, you will die (but from causes unrelated to your wheel) before the wheel does. Same goes for original 16-spoke Campag Shamal, Shimano WH-7700 or Rolf TdF6. In short, it's perfectly possible to make reliable 16-spoke rear wheels, but since you're even asking, the chances are that your plan isn't as well considered as an integral design as the wheels I've mentioned.

Will the wheel survive my death?
