  • Yep. PM if you still need it.

  • Yep, also have one, SE23, not being used at the moment.

  • Trying to build something up with odds and ends. Got campag wheels. Does that mean I need to use campag cassette? Got campag mechs, will they work alright with shimano shifters?
    Cheers!

  • All depends on the cassette/shifters:
    Shimano and Campag are compatible at 11speed, so you can use an 11sp campag cassette with 11sp Campagnolo shifters if you have to.

  • Yup.

    11 speeds or >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

  • Search for "shimergo": there's a thread on here, but the definitive resource is on the CTC site.

    It's possible in fairly limited circumstances, but if you're on a budget I think you'll find it cheaper just to get Campag shifters.

    Campag wheels will almost certainly have a Campag freehub (it's only quite recently that they've offered a Shimano option), so require a Campag cassette.

    I've got 8 speed shifters and a cassette for pocket money prices (mechs too) if you get stuck.

  • Cheers for thesuggestiion @Backstop and @mands.

  • i can show u my ring i got from there! :)

  • Cheers all that's really helpful @Scilly.Suffolk might get those off you, thanks

  • somebody in a thread yesterday (20th) posted a link to a site which provided a way to search for flights leaving soonish. Anybody know what the thread is or what the URL was please?
    I thought at the time that's really good site I must grab it but didn't. Ta.

  • Serious answer: Hatton Garden

  • Shimano and Campag are compatible at 11speed

    Only in the very limited sense of equal sprocket spacing

    you can use an 11sp campag cassette with 11sp Campagnolo shifters if you have to.

    No shit!

  • Yeah thanks for that.

  • @greenbank, yeah you're right that's it, sorry dont know how I lost 11 days! Maybe something to do with Back to the Future day! Thanks.

  • Scoble hacked pifko's acct..?

  • Were there many Shamal copies? Cos this UFO wheel looks pretty damn close. It's on a Miche Competition hub.

  • What superpowers would a spider get if it got bitten by a radioactive human, and how would these uncanny human-like powers assist it in the solving of crimes in the arachnid world?
    What sort of secret identity could Man-Spider possibly adopt?

    Has this been resolved yet?

  • Still waiting, am disappoint.
    I did have a conversation with a mate which postulated this theory, and we agreed that an ideal secret disguise for man-spider (to conform with accepted comic universe norms), would be for his alter-ego to wear glasses.
    We failed to resolve whether he would need four pairs of glasses or one big pair of octo-goggles.
    Alcohol may have been involved.

  • I think in his day-to-day life he'd be a cognitive behavior therapist helping people get over their fear of snakes.

  • I had my bike stripped for parts in my office underground carpark recently. The carpark is full of really expensive cars owned by royals, sheikhs and footballers (what a combo) so has better than average security. The bottom line is that the bike thief was bold and experienced enough to get in and out with my front brake and seatpost/saddle/clamp quickly enough not to get spotted by the numerous security guards who patrol on a regular schedule.

    I'm well aware that the reality is part theft is easy...all you need is an allen key and a small bit of time.

    What is the preffered method of making it more difficult to remove hex bolt fitted parts? I don't like the superglue and bb method because standard solvent works really quickly and I assume that is part of a bike thief's tool kit.

    What about mastic in the bolts? Doesn't dissolve with standard solvents so you either need a heat source, mastic solvent or a bit of time with a small craft knife.

    How about polyfilla? Not as quick to remove as superglue based ideas.

    This is my beater...it will be a rare scenario for me to have to adjust or replace anything. All I want to do is make it take a few minutes to undo a bolt rather than a few seconds.

  • What is the preffered method of making it more difficult to remove hex bolt fitted parts?

    Keep one hand on your bike at all times.

    If you make it so hard to remove the parts that it's easier to take the whole bike, that's what will happen.

  • Disc brake alarm padlock.

    slight movement and the alarm scream at 120dB

  • Agreed but that is not an option. Bike are not allowed in the building.

    A security team patrols this car park every few minutes (can't go into more details) and whilst possible, I think it is unlikely that a thief will get through two Abus Granite 54 locks without making noise that will draw attention to the security guards.

    For this reason, I want to stick with my current double D-lock arrangements and make it a bit less likely that somebody can make off with my brake and seatpost before the period of n minutes has passed.
