I've got some purple pedals that have been on the cycletruck for a while but don't match the colour of anything else on there so I've stripped them down to service and de-anodize. A dunk in a caustic soda solution with the threads protected by grease has been effective. I'm not going to bother polishing them as they'll get bashed around and grubby on a bike used through winter around town.

Terrible news, I only knew of Hayley through this thread, but always enjoyed her writing. Rest in peace.

Thanks, that's what I thought. I'll keep an eye out for a normally drilled rear hub then.

Do 2:1 laced rear hubs need a rim with a specific 2:1 drilling/offset?
I have a conventionally drilled 24h rim (spoke holes offset alternately left then right) already and I'm looking at a 24h hub with 2:1 flanges (8NDS/16DS), I just want to confirm that's not going to work is it? -

Swapped the m950 XTR mech for a 9spd X0 one as it was a bit worn out and the colour scheme is a better match. I think this has had a Flite saddle and black pedals since I last posted a photo. Great fun for nipping around town.

Making time! Got the files and torch out again to make another stem, this time to go on the Solaris when it gets rebuilt. This one is 35mm length and there is a very small third tube between the bar and steerer tubes that ended up hidden by the fillets. Went for double M6 bolts on both the steerer and bar tube for maximum clamping security as it'll be ridden off-road. I'm tempted to try and get this one powder coated for a tougher finish rather than using a rattlecan as I have previously. Just waiting on the stainless bolts to arrive for it now.
I've also cut the tubes to make a high stack ~80mm stem for the cycletruck soon too.

Love this, I'm a big Cotic fan. I think this is a 1 of 2 prototype, I was chatting to Paul from Cotic on a demo day a few months ago about his green one that he'd ridden in that day.
