@Spxtz for gen sec

@Velocio have you considered structural hot glue?

The coop would need to be incorporated, ie. CIC as @skydancer has said, but also could be a CBS or probably more appropriate would be a CS ("Cooperative Society")

or similar community owned legal entity

(ie incorporated association)

This might have been shot down already (we're 14 pages in) but what would be the scope of liability for a cooperative or similar community owned legal entity?

I guess that relies on there being an appetite for the community to operate more like a members association, coop or similar. Perhaps that also comes with things like more stable cashflow (even if it was a token auth fee of £2p.a. or whatever it might be)

If in doubt, collectivise?

Doesn't sound like it's sticked up with gunk, especially if it moves inward to big end freely.

Detach cable completely, chain off and double check the H screw is backed out all the way. Also might be worth checking if theres nothing caught in behind / inside the mech itself (twig, small stone, etc). Would be easier with derailleur off bike

The mech hanger being that little bit bent wouldnt put you 3 cogs in, and from what I can see there is no other obvious bend /twist to the body.

This might be daft to ask ... but have you tried turning the pedals / chain since you released the cable? If it's not the limit screw or muck holding it in place, a chain (partcularly an old stiffed up rusty one) will do that just fine if theres no rotation made to allow the derailleur to guide chain back down to high gear.

If thats not it, as @M_V says, back out the L + H screws – next port of call should be to get it off the bike and give it a really good clean, lube and flex all the spring / jointed parts.

Depends if the DT swiss 240s hub is a 100x hub with assymetric end caps or a 110 specific one with symetrical.

Reverse situation: most 100 > 110 end cap conversions are assymetrical so to go 100 > 110 you just change drive side end cap and redish your wheel to centre rim accordingly (the disc mounts stay in position, extra 10mm added to drive side).

Tektro CR720 replacement spring saga concludes. Modified Dia Compe style spring is passable.

Just needed to Dremel off the bit that returns thats meant to hook back and sit under the arm.

Just been told we dont need a spare cargoer. Think that misses the point but here we are.

Thanks for the offer though bud !

+1 for better pads, but with a head tube that masssively tall I would suggest a sturdy (ie Tektro) fork crown mount cable hanger and fuck off the headset cable hanger. The effects of fork, frame + hanger flex will be magnified over that distance; judder, squishiness, squeel / noise, etc

Dibs, will dm shortly!

Edit: undibsed

Not sure what triangulation of profiling is required for Googling home made gun parts to land you on a watch list, so ... I'm out.

Guilty to have tried and enjoyed baked porridge with olive oil and salt after first reading this

Ha, I could probably muddle through it but I thought brake springs needed to be heat tempered? Think thats beyond my kitchen counter tooling.

Unless I can find a source of Tektro spares I'm just going to hold out to see if I can fettle the DC springs

When a woman tells you that she has been harassed, and the guy is a walking talking personality disorder, maybe look into it.

I've been looking for a while but not turned up anything viable.
They are this (annoyingly slightly proprietary) shape:

It's similar to the more readily available Dia Compe springs (below), but with the dogleg and no finger latch at the end. Begrudgingly I've a set of these on order. Hopefully they are the right depth and the lever arm has enough reach

I don't really understand how it wasn't patently clear to everyone that this prick was a sleazy little pest. It's entirely coded in his on screen persona

Sad!

Yeah – I want to know why they are not stocking them. i.e discontinued as Ed has said, or if there is a supply issue and they will return.

Also question stands about Tektro spares

This is bad advice Edward

How did I not see this. Did it sell?

Does anyone here know if it's possible to source spares for Tektro brakes?
I have a set of Tektro CR720's with two right springs.

Also anyone from the industry know why the CR720 are so hard to track down in the UK at the moment?
