don’t say remove the tyre

If you don't remove the tyre, how are you going to replace the valve? When I've had slow non-obvious leaks, it has been where the valve seals to the rim bed.

Wasn't Airbus at the time though was it?

I suppose it depends what time.

Jam Shed

Every time I see this I think it's referring to some Pakistani dude called Jamshed

total lack of public transport infrastructure

What is the Dwight D. Eisenhower National System of Interstate and Defense Highways if not public transport infrastructure? It's even funded and managed by a central government agency far removed in both space and accountability from the users, which I thought was something you commies loved🙂

steamrollers

If he took a steamroller to his Ogre, he could squash the stays enough to fit track cranks, but that sounds even worse than using SRAM😂

They have different spindle lengths?

No, they have optionally offset chain rings to give 47.5mm chain line for normal and 51mm for boost.

I've probably done something wrong.

The pictures in the SRAM frame fit specification PDFs might help with understanding 🙂

Surly says Chainring Clearance 24/36/48t so you should be able to clear quite a bit more than 36T.

They don't say what chain line, but I'm guessing 50mm for the middle ring as that's a traditional MTB triple.

I presume there's a way I can work out

Yes, it's called maths. The pitch circle radius of a roller chain sprocket is very close to Pitch×Z/2π, then add 4mm to get the top of the teeth
(12.7×38/2π) +4=80.8mm, so your stays need to be 2×(chainline-4mm*) apart at a point 81mm from the BB centre

*half the ring thickness + clearance for flex

SRAM is shit :) but also I thought they all used funny BBs?

Yeah, Powerspline for one and Dub for the other. Depends how much SRAM BB fuckery you're prepared to live with in order to get the crank length you want

✔️165mm, 1×, 38T, fits 73mm shell, cheap as chips, 104mm PCD so loads of aftermarket chainrings available, could use 118 BB instead of 113 to get more chainstay clearance, or bin the guard and use the outer ring position
❌good luck finding 165mm in stock anywhere

✔️165mm, 1×, 40T, fits 73mm shell
❌165 seems to be hen's teeth at the moment, but Sigmasport say they have a 160 in stock

leaning towards copper grease.

That option has served me well

38T would probably work but I want something at the cheaper end

I'd offer you my surplus one of these, but you'd get it quicker and cheaper from bezosworld🙂

Had some open pros at one point but pretty sure they weren't lumpy.

Old Open Pro wasn't deliberately lumpy, new one is. They're milled to leave thick material around the holes and thin material in between.

What is Discord?

BBS for millennials

why is the kid crying?

Because somebody already built his Lego model

Nowt straighter than straight on straight, mate.

setting you straight

Well, that probably rules out the hand job

fucking asshole

Well, that escalated quickly from the original tug job

this amazing product is definitely not the solution, is it?

Would you use a quill stem at its minimum insertion depth in your carbon fork?

I suppose if they're still in business it either means they haven't killed many people yet or kiwiland is just too far away for anybody to bother with litigation, but I wouldn't use that.

The parser seems to object to the "si=" argument

2mm clearance

There's a reason why the standard clearance is twice that
