You can get one on ebay for a couple of quid. People make them out of threaded pipe and nylon washers.

I think I have that tool. I have three different splined bb tools so it's probably one of them.

Does anyone have one of those tools for hammering out 1" headset cups? I need the proper tool, not an old bit of pipe as I'd like to get the cups out cleanly.

Give it to Blake or Steve and I'll get it off them some time.

It's the Veloce tool, which is only really useful for the Veloce BB.

I think I also have the newer BB tool too which is more of a splined type arrangement.

Result for victims of bike thievery after quite a few calls to the cops by me and another lfgss member:

Good job. But why are the auctions are still running?

trickers have just arrived. slightly loose around the heel and a bit of room in the toebox, but still pretty comfy. should I keep em?

Yes. They are thick leather shoes and will take time to wear in and become flexible. Hence why if you wear someone else's old leather shoes they feel very uncomfy even when the size is right.

Yes. It was lacking aerospokage though.

Might be up for this but it's quite a while from now.

Unfortunately, Fleabay do not always shower themselves in glory and you have to be careful what they promise on the website and what they actually do.

And here is the point. ebay involves risk. They make assurances that the journey will be a safe one and for the most part it is but when it does go wrong you'll find it very hard to find settlement and any naive notion of 'fairness' or 'justice' you have will be challenged by their deliberately open ended policies. I know of a stolen bike that is listed and has been re-listed on ebay at this moment and it makes you wonder exactly what measures they put in place to stop this happening. Their response is to go to the police but in the meantime they will be happy to collect any fees on an item that is reported as stolen.

Caveat emptor.

Flea market.

straps need adjusting on his helmet

I wonder if Time has discontinued Aliums. Not that they are in short supply but I can't find anything about them on their website.

I found that one of the springs is loose on mine and although there's no noticable lack of bind, it does make a lot of racket. Should I be worried about potential failure?

I might be able to make it as well.

Well they used to take the piss outta me

fixed

Sellers can't neg rep buyers anymore.

Which sucks because some buyers can be a serious pain in the arse.

I'm out. Too bloody far from home to go at short notice.

This one I like though and the price is right.

Or just get a Woundup for slavery points!

You sure you want a straight fork? A road fork with a slight curve and a bit more rake might suit the frame better.

Just remember to measure what length steerer you need.

Fork should be easy to find on ebay. They are dime a dozen.

... And hence the problem.

Too busy I'm afraid.

More than three people?

Bit of a long shot but does anyone have a 1 5/8" (41.4 mm) spanner? Needed for tightening an old Raleigh headset that is currently being tightened by hand as no one seems to have a spanner of this size.

In the search for decent Hand made made casual shoes I have been eyeing up Oak Street Bootmakers.

Prices are on the high side but they do make a few nice looking shoes and thankfully some without that ugly white vibram sole.

The thing is that the Look is quite a low grade frame when you see one up close. Ugly welds and finish. Worst flaw is the thick chain stay means that there's only a mm clearance between short cranks and the stay. Otherwise you have to mess with the chainline. The above pic seems to show marks where stay and cranks have met.
