  Hi. a friend of mine was in the same situation a bout a year ago. he's a small fella, and very much " by the book"
  found his bike on gumtree. rang the guy as an anonymous buyer. went to see it with proof of purchase etc ( and his girlfriend, She wears the pants)
  When he got there and verified it was his, didn't say anything till he was outside the guys house. then dialled the police while he asked the thief he can have his bike back.

  he rode home on his bike! :)

• Wanted: The largest track chain ring possible!

  The largest i know ( heard of)of is Schlumpf 65T.
  although If you run half link, you can get down to small end down to 9t. (like the specialized p-fix)
  I know wear n tear does go up with small sizes. I have been running a 13t dura ace cog with a kmc 918 for 2 years, heavy use. Seems bulletproof.

  success!
  what a process
  soaked overnight in WD40
  managed to loosen the bearing shield with a hammer and punch
  dismantle the freewheel
  more wd40 from the inside
  built a wood block jaw set for the hub flanges
  clamped it in the vice
  big ol pipe wrench + lockring tool (skewered)

  motion!

  Hi. Got a set of fiamme tubulars from the 70's. Looking to lace them up this week, but I am not sure on the rear pattern.
  Front 32
  Rear 40
  Any suggestions? Thinking 4 cross if it will work....

  Thanks for the offer. I am in east London, whereabouts are u?

  The removal grooves are damaged but I can still get a solid contact. The damn thing just won't shift

  hi all.
  I recently came across a set of campy hubs from the 70s. problem is there is a rusty old freewheel stuck on there. the hubs did not come with rims so i have no leverage to remove it.
  i don't mind destroying the freewheel, i just want to salvage the hub.
  I have a chain whip and the correct locking removal tool

  any help/ tip will be greatly appreciated
  i have attached a couple of pics if that helps

  Thanks in advance
