I have some teasers too.

2 bikes.

Hmm Concorde. Stop that teasing, what kind of frame is it?!

Been riding this for a month or 2 now. Geometry is unexpectedly comfortable.

Ok.. i might just need a thicker brake cable to get the pinch nut in my delta brake to hold the cable down. Any ideas on some good ones? And do i need a bigger cable housing for these?

Hey there.
Been trying to finish my new bike for a while now but the brakes seem to hate me.
Bought some campy delta's for a good price some time ago and fitted the front one on my bike a couple of times but every time i use it, the cable slips out of the caliper.
I googled my ass off and found something on Flickr about the compression of the cablehousing:

Couldn't really figure out what is to be changed about the compression of the housing. Only thing i can think of is that it should be compression-free. Could any of you confirm this? Or does anyone have a different solution?

If my cable housing should be compression-free, which housing would be useful? I know Jagwire has some proper teflon cables like these:

But would a cheaper version with 'low-compression' also work? (like these:)

Hope someone can help me out!

would really like to buy that wheelset...

Where can i find a decent wheelset for a lo-pro with a 28" rear and 26" front wheel? I know where to find a H+Son set. But it's pretty pricey and deep v's like that aren't very classic looking...

Been riding this for a couple of months now.

Busy on a Nishiki for my girlfriend right now and another Concorde (TT, lo-pro) for myself.

wow, that's better news than expected...
but still, if i take a look at my FixMeUp-Graph, i can't really run (just almost) any gear right?
I would still be limited by the vertical blue line, but then maybe with a difference of 1 or 2 mm.?

Was thinking about using my 52 chainwheel, but that would make skidding pretty hard won't it?
Want a bike with a little more speed in it than my other bike (46x16)...
(sorry 'bout the large graph, couldn't attach for some reason)

Really?
The dropouts on my TT frame look like this:

Do you think i can make this work without an Eno Eccentric Hub and just by finding my magic gear using " http://eehouse.org/fixin/formfmu.php " ?

Does anyone have any ideas on how to measure the chainstay length btw? I'm measuring a different length almost every time with a 2 mm. difference...

horsebike + 1. always

aargh the bars on that red&white viking...

Is there a difference between vertical and semivertical dropouts when considering converting?
e.g. does a semivertical dropout give you more change for a magicgear to work compared to a vertical one?
