Hey, need a few bits for the girlfriend's build.
Nothing too expensive, as im not sure how she'll get on with the bike yet.-Silver Brake calipers - 60mm drop on the front , 50-55mm drop on the back. side pull or dual pivot preferably. And recessed nut fitting would be nice. What have you got?
-Seat post - Even with calipers i'm having trouble finding out the exact size. Seems to be 25.8mm, but could be 25.6mm, so am probably gonna have to buy both and try. Silver only please.
-Ladies saddle. I don't even know what saddles are good for a female ass? White would be nice, nothing too sporty.
-Silver 130bcd chainring 42teeth (or near). 3/32nd width preferably.
-White brake cable outer - has anyone got any going cheap?

Going for a ride today (to the doctors, ironically? stupidly?) made it feel alot worse; though when i've been for shorter rides, and gone very slowly, it feels the like the spinning motion might be doing some benefit.
yes- I know I should be taking a break from cycling, though that is much much easier said than done. -
Gearing down may not help, (well actually that depends what gearing you are using now)
What foot retention do you use?
Do you have one leg longer than the other?
If so is it the calf or thigh that is longer?
How long are your legs?
What size cranks are you using?
Do you have High/low arches?
Does one leg bow in/out during pedaling?If you do stop cycling (you should for a bit, seriously) does your knee feel better?
Sorry, the doctor said it is probably a cartilage issue. I guess I'll know a bit more once i go for the xray in a few days.
My gear for about a 18 months has been 69inches (46*18). About a month ago i tried out 46*17 - so about 73 inches. I've had some problems with the knee before, in the last 6 months, but changing up a gear recently probably led to the most recent bout of pain.
Took a break from cycling for about 5 days, and swapped back to the old ratio, felt a little better, but riding again certainly made the knee more painful once i was off the bike.At the moment, I'm using double straps and cages, set fairly loosly - I find that tightening the straps can cause a bit of discomfort in the knee. I've never tried any clipless systems before and have been riding fixed since beginning of 2007, so over 3 years now.
I don't really have answers to leg measurements, I'm 82cm, sit-bone-to-floor and use 165 cranks, but thats it really. To my knowledge my legs are the same length, but i've never had them measured (logic suggests that they can't be the same length anyways).
What would be the best way of finding out specific leg/arch measurements? I could measure myself, but i doubt that would be very scientific.

So, Just got back from the doctors today - they say I should really lay-off the riding till I get my knee sorted (somethings up with the cartilage - going for an xray tomorrow). I can't actually stop riding; so hopefully a spinny gear will make riding less painful in the mean time.
I'm looking for something 20 tooth or higher (how high do they go??) preferably 1/8th.
I've got a 17t condor midrange sprocket (cost about £15). Bought it a few weeks ago, only really ridden it about 50 miles (a week or 2 of normal riding) before switching back to my 18t. If you that's of any use to anyone, an exchange would be nice. Otherwise I'll just buy.
cheers

I'm half tempted to send a message and tell him. i mean you can even see the marks from the old chain bolts that held on the other ring...
...thats not the worst part - did you get a look at the "NJS stamp"?
I wonder how many keirin racers are out there winning trophy after trophy on these bad boys? -

is this worth £400?
http://www.gumtree.com/london/73/62357873.htmlNo, Not really.
closer to £200 id say? Hard to call without parts list, but everything looks pretty cheap from the picture.EDIT - looking at it again id offer £150
Can collect anywhere around there tomorrow evening, if that's suitable for you.
PM'd you.
