Could I get those raleigh brakes please?

Yeah, I can't figure out what that shit is, its all over.
Thinking my bike must have been near a load of dandy lions or summit... Weird.

Hey,

Sorry to renew an dead thread, finally got around to getting this opened up for a look...

So.. The hub I think look ok, just a new axle... Will give the frame a bend later, see how that goes.
Any recommendations on a place to get one cheap / decent? Probably will need some new bearings too I should imagaine?

Hi Brucy,

Would be well good if I could get that from you, where abouts could I find you?

Hey, couldn't describe it, so just made a quick model... Was like thus :)

Hi all,

I have the bolt, but have lost the bit on the end... Dow!
Its going onto a Cinelli stem.. So.. Yeah, if anyone has one, am happy to part with a couple of quid.. or a beer.. that kind of thing :)

Cheers
Rob.

Nice one thanks guys, came out, just gave it gave it a few taps dow, left right upside down and out it came..

Anyone got any tips? Cinelli Quill... Undo the bolt, take it out, pull the bugger... Nothing, stuck fast... Anyway of bashing it out from the other side (can't quite see whats going on through the bottom of the fork so don't wanna just start hitting it...)

Cheers,
Rob.

Cheeky bump.

I think I'm running a 110 already, so upto 111 for me and a bit of trimming just for good measure.
I'll head to Condor today I think, get it sorted out...

Cheers guys :D

giz, how do you crimp a stay... I've no idea what you just said :D

Cool cheers for the 'File Here' comment. Was considering it before...

Do you think the extra 1mm is gonna make the difference between Miche and Campag BB?

Ok cool. 111mm it is then. Bah. More Mullah! Anyone want a slightly used and abused Miche BB :D Infact, I have 2. (I lost one, bought another, and then found the other one. Dow.)

http://www.wiggle.co.uk/p/Cycle/7/Campagnolo_Centaur_Tapered_Bottom_Bracket/5360022293/ This would do the job then I presume?

--

53 x 18 = 77.4"

Had the 53 already, so went with it. 77" works out well for me though I like it.

What, like a shim sock on the taper? I guess that would do the trick.
is it something you would buy, or just a bit of coke tin cut to size?

Anyway. I've been out for a ride, and its not clipping the frame. Just.
I'll try it out for a few days and see how it goes, if it needs something else, then so be it.

Cheers Johan. Will give this a test ride, if its no good, time for another BB.

Hi Sam,

I think if it was on the inside spider, it would have no chance of fitting, the edge of the ring is already close to the frame, never mind if I move it in.. And besides, the chainline doesn't look too bad...

Ok, one last try proved fruitful. I managed to get it all on, so nothing is touching, but its close.
I reckon as soon as I ply some pressure it'll bend half a mill and I'll be back at square one...

What do thee think?

Me again!

Ok. So. A few weeks ago I posted some pics of the almost ready bike.
BB shell needed a clean out, which it got at Cavendish.

So I get it home, and start putting it all together and it looks a bit tight.
The non-drive side is touching the frame, and the drive side is also touching, see pics.

Ok, so as you can see, no go. I have the Miche Primoto BB, which is adjustable, but I don't think its going to be able to adjust this much? I need like 2mm on each side I reckon.

And if so, how the hell do I do it. Do I just unwind the cups so they stop the cranks settling on the taper properly? I've tried pulling them off, unwinding the shells a bit and putting the back on. I can get enough room on the non-drive, but the drive side is still clipping the frame...

My second (or maybe part of the first) is that I tried to get the non-drive cup all the way out (I was trying to figure out exactly how it supposed to be adjustable) and it was bloody hard work. Now I have it out after lots of cursing, half the cup is threaded. Fs.

Its still got some thread, but some of it has gone.
I did get it 'chased' - All english, and I'm putting in a english BB, whats the problem?

Bahh! Just want to ride the sucker! Thanks for any pointers...
Rob

Its just the drive side that bent inwards, the other side is fine.
Bit of a shame that its not an easy fix. :/

If I take it upto Cavendish they should be able to have a look and give me the damage.
