Just a smidge, yes. But the seats lower than it needs to be anyhow.

So here it is in all it's (almost) complete glory:

Need some better foot retention; I picked the straps up from the chap on here, don't quite fit. Otherwise; finished!

I've seen this doing the rounds this week; perhaps a repost but:

(Also, thanks all for clarifying my stupidity!)

I did warn you!

Balls.

Okay, So I have potentially a stupid question...

The fixed gear and lock-ring on the rear hub, which way round should they be installed?

I originally chucked the sprocket on such that it would tighten when pedalling forward, and the lock-ring on the opposite threading, (which I understand is the correct method?)

It seems the gap between the sprocket and the spokes isn't deep enough, and I'm getting a clickety-clack when the pedals turn. If I flip the sprocket the other way (to give more room), won't this be threaded incorrectly?

Already picked up a Boardman by now! Quite happy with it if I'm honest. Maybe should have planned a little better to got something more specific to my needs, but it does the job for what I wanted it for.

How cheap are you talking?

I got a couple from Wiggle in the sale for £9 each. They had others for less I think.

3rd Dibs if by some miracle others pull out.

*Just one gear one my fixie bike...... *

So, Letter of Collection in Hand. Wondered if the good folks perusing this thread could offer me an opinion. I'm tied to Halfords, I believe, though I would prefer to source another bike from and LBS if poss.

I have two halfords options I'm considering. Does anyone have any opinions on either of these:

Carerra Virtuoso - £400

vs

Boardman Road Race - £600

I'd like something I can take on a Cycle trip / holiday and withstand a little bit of abuse, but clearly an amatuer cyclist. I'm not familiar enough with either of the two brands to make an assumption, and I take whatever the Halfords chaps have to say with a shovel of salt.

Thoughts, anyone?

Fuck this!!

Cyclotron- what rims are you sporting in that pic? Very nice

Well I do have a beard....

So this Amy character....

Fixed. A light filing to the bottom edge of the drop-outs has fixed it.

Haven't yet got as far as the bottom bracket and headset, thanks to the LBS losing my order before Christmas, but a Hipstamatic esque photo shows this:

Nice! What colour is that?

Also, what chainset are you using?

Is that meant to match a brooks saddle?

Interesting. Having the same problem. Seems filing the drop out is going to be my fix.

(sorry, bump an old thread)

Beautiful!

My own epic fail this morning.... Trying the fit of a caliper brake on my front fork (currently disassembled). Bugger, looks as though I need to drill out a couple of holes to a slightly larger diameter.

Just as I'm looking for an appropriate sized drill bit. House mate comes in and asks if I've tried it the other way round. Yup, It fits.

Idiot.

Bugger. The size of the drop out looks too narrow for the diameter of the axle on the rear wheel. Looks like I need to get the file onto my lovely new paint.

Interested in pedals (11), potentially, if I can get to LMNH. Price?
