Winter tights query: what is the best out of

1. unpadded waist tights
   
2. unpadded bib longs
   
3. padded bib longs
   
   

Do the unpadded options work out better as they can be layered over normal shorts/bibs and are thus in theory a bit warmer?

You can layer padded tights over shorts for extra warmth, but you wouldn't want to wear unpadded tights on the days when you didn't want that extra layer.

Have honestly never overheated due to wearing tights over shorts and means I can use £15 unpadded PX bib tights rather than £80 Castelli ones.

is this frame going to be complete shite?

Tried clerkenwell screws?

Worth £40 I'd imagine.

Bottom Bracket Italian Threaded

If anything, the 1" fork is more of a problem these days than the Italian BB

Thanks, shall call them tomorrow.
M7 seat qr is holding things ok for now.
EDIT - turns out the seat qr was 8mm - M8 A2 bolt/nut now installed. Solid.

Adobe help needed.

I have an illustrator file placed in an indesign document.

The illustrator file is solid black R=0, G=0, B=0, k=100

When I view the linked file in indesign it is still visible (faded) even with the black channel switched off in separations. So it shows like a process colour in Indesign .

Any ideas, haz googled briefly.

sorted - "appearance of black" setting in illustrator preferences

1 1/8 disc fork with mudguard mounts. Any suggestions? Mine destroyed in RTA.

Surly disc trucker or some other surly? Or are you looking for crabon?

Crabon preferred. Am thinking possibly the enigma one. Have just emailed lynskey to check what a-c and trail/take they suggest.

@amey

You are the champion buyer. I think my workhorse needs a fairly comprehensive rebuild it was on the cards but fork, bars and wheels need replacing now.
Hope hubs - Ardennes or Belgium rims. Ergonova bars

Am thinking I may as well replace group set etc.

Can you suggest where I should buy
Shimano hydraulics/mechanical shifters
Ultegra mechs (medium cage)
11-32 cassette and chain

And welcome back. When are we next on for yoga?

Got Ergonova Pros for sale here

Thanks but would rather buy new bars - esp if someone else is paying.

Shopping with other people's money is one of my favourite pastimes

Idle bank holiday bike shopping...

Can anyone tell me if these OEM(?) Jagwire cable sets are not worth getting? Seems suspiciously cheap. I have the Jagwire Road Pro set which I'm pretty impressed with.

If I have a 1 inch fork shimmed to 1 1/8 do I need a 1 inch top cap or normal one?
Also, the best way to get out a fucked star nut when access from the fork crown is not possible?

Assuming the shim doesn't extend past the top of the stem, you'll be able to use a normal 1,1/8" top cap.

No idea about the best approach for the star nut, but @roboto has a CP thread where one method is discussed.

Cheers, thought maybe it'd have a little lip that sits in the internal diameter of the steerer so might need a smaller one.

Assuming the shim doesn't extend past the top of the stem, you'll be able to use a normal 1,1/8" top cap

And if it does, just add an extra 1⅛" spacer so you can use a 1⅛" top cap anyway. You don't want to be using compression of the shim to adjust your bearing preload.
