I can hear a massive difference between mp3's (even at 320kb) and CD's

No you can't. Science has been unable to prove that their is any audible difference between 320k MP3 and uncompressed audio at 16bit 44100k (CD quality). Source DA conversion is likely to be the culprit.

doesn't the seat being forward allow you to use more of your thighs when pedaling?

edit: Ah ninjed

Is there such a thing a good looking mudguards? I can see cheap plastic ones fitting a mtb style franken beater, but what about modern road bikes?

I just read three pages thinking 'these guys are nuts' until I realised it wasn't the porn thread. Mid week drinking FTW.

I've been working on www.nerdybikestuff.co.uk/

Ah I got confused, I can understand why you'd have larger rear tyre, why would the front be larger?

It's been posted in here before but it's one of the best on this thread imo

Whats bars are those?

I've never seen or heard of an adjustable spanner with no play, the standard advice is to get a (Chrome Vanadium) spanner roll.

I am a mountain bike guy and I can't stand that. But then I'm not into XC.

I went to boomtown fair last weekend and had an amazing weekend! It's not very big and doesnt have any commercial crap there really. Line up was incredible, loads of reggae, jungle, ska, drum and bass and punk, I thought it was pretty good value at £130 but there were a few too many crusties.

I went to boomtown too, amazing festival with a really creative setup, I understand the krusty thing but as it started as a freeparty and then a cider festival they where there first. the water situation was a pisstake though

I think thats in classifieds atm.

Has anybody done any bikepacking on a long travel hardtail 26er? I'm looking at mine and wondering if it's suitable enough to not need another bike

I'd be interested in the frame if you split, depends on price

not sure there are any road hydraulic disk brakes yet.

well that'll be down to your marketing. few more things to think about, what sort of bikes can you fix? can you strip the suspension of mountain bikes and do you have proper tools, a full set of park tools is really expensive. Who are you competing with?

do you (does anyone) know what the frame is?

I really love this, I'd ride the shit out of it, it looks so fast.

edit: what frame is this? and look at that chain stay dimple..

I'd quite like a 16 and a 17 1/8 (in silver is possible) are you happy to post to bristol?

any reason why mercian hasn't been mentioned?

I've been looking for a nice set of rims for fixed road riding and I've come across asymmetric profile rims like the velocity aerohead O/C is this just marketing hype or in a few years will all rear wheels be asymmetrical?

if it's steel just bend it, if not get a hub. no idea where to get them

I'm in bristol, I'll just head along to the lbs with both frames at the weekend. Thanks guys

Hi there,
I have two old 531 steel frames that have rounded seat clamp bolts. I can cut them off with a hacksaw but I need replacement bolts. Are they all the same size? and where can I ge them from? should I just pop around to my LBS?

Thanks,

are the bolts for seatpost clamps on 531 frames a standard size?
