Not cycling related* but I just bought a 4k Chromecast for slightly less than half price. Offer on on Google store. Plus 4% back on top cashback.

*You could use it to watch some cycling though.

Apologies for being a bit clueless, I've not been following this thread.
Someone I know has an Arkose and he wants to know if he can put 700x47 marathon tours in there.
Unfortunately I don't know which year it is. I will see the bike on Monday so can update then.
I know current models come with 45 tyres and can take up to 47s
My question is have they always had the clearance?
Thanks

At first I thought maybe you'd drank a bottle of wine that morning. Just to get a cork.

Excuse my ignorance and late reply (bit behind) but how do these work? Is the BB Axle splined or knurled in some way (presumably some kind of insert to mate with is added to these cranks) to prevent these from slipping? Or are they simply clamped tight on a round axle (like a headtube)?
Excellent work as always. Really enjoy the thread.
EDIT: Just read on a bit. It seems its a round axle and the arms are clamped on (given these parts are all handmade I'd imagine the fit is perfect). I suppose its a kids bike so unlikely to slip (fairly sure you've considered this - not suggesting you haven't). Unless she's a junior Forstermann in the making :) .

Yeah it'd be weird.
I've got one on an older frame I'm not using at the mo and it's very similar in size to a standard 1" HS.
Admittedly I've not changed the bearings. But I fitted it (and the one on my friend's bike) and there is no way it uses the same bearings as a 1 1/8" HS.
-
I asked SJS and they assure me it's the correct bearing for 1" or 1 1/8".
Which it almost definitely isn't.
Oh well.
Think I'll get her to fit a cheapo one until we can measure the bearing and order it.
Bosh.
