Any question answered...

Bike has Shimano SM-BB92-41, what do I buy to fit a GXP crankset?

God I hate myself for buying press fit.

Edit: note, it doesn't say SM-BB92-41B

Anyone care to confirm which nitto bar end plugs I need (ec-01/02) to fit drops/ thin walled bullnose bars?

This planet X page seems to suggest it's the ec02, but pretty much everywhere else thinks it's the ec-01. Confusingly planet X list the ec-01 as being for 23.4 internal bars.

Anyone know if TRP 960 rim brakes will be as good as Ultegra (6800 possibly)?
Or maybe even better?
That'd be for my summer bike and full carbon rims btw.

As they are at least twice the price, they must be at least twice as good, right?

If your aim is to get your bike stopped, stick with the Shimano brakes.

That is not going to work.

What's the little extra thing on the right-hand side? Can that be used to wedge one end of the strap in the back of the bracket, leaving the holds free to go over the long spigot on the front? also, is that the whole length of the strap?

Edit: I'm referring to your original photo. The "little extra thing" is not your feet.

Use the next 'step' ?

Swapping out some parts on a trike. Does anyone recognise this bottom bracket interface?

Without the tool, any tips on how to get it out? Don’t particularly care if I damage it...

There's a method here using a nut, bolt and washers to remove pretty much any BB cup:

I have not seen this interface but it looks like a 2 prong freewheel tool should fit in there.

Thanks, tried it but the prongs on the freewheel tool are too wide sadly!

Cold chisel and a lump hammer.

any tips on how to get it out?

This method, with the bonus that you already have the slots.

Or any old flat bladed screwdriver that you've fallen out of love with

Are these fake Adamo saddles?

Seller listing states no returns...

totally late to this party

instagram - who to follow cycling wise? and i dont mean PRO stuff, more like pannier.cc

Thinking of a bike ride around London this weekend visiting all the big/historic bike shops. Was thinking the Condor shop (Closed on weekends I know), Rapha, brick lane bikes, where else would you visit?

where else would you visit?

Go to Evans in The Cut if you're doing a historical sites tour, that's where they started, and they were good before they decided to become Halfords for the middle class. You're a little too late for Holdsworth, and a lot too late for Hobbs

I think they restored the original sign by the side of the shop too!

I think they restored the original sign

I think that's actually a bit of retro fakery

Aw cycles in South Wimbledon- not big or flash but been a Bike shop there for over a hundred years. Now run by two old guys in warehouse coats, one of whom started there over 60 years ago. The antithesis of Rapha

Pearsons

Edwardes, Sargent & Co. Bikefix.

P&L cycles too :)

Might as well do Bromley whilst you are at it.

If you refer to Holdsworth I rode past it last Sunday and there was no sign, just the converted apartments or house...
