Mands he is a star, will let you know if I need a sitter or if I upload any more pics of him. As I'm sure you can imagine, already have a long list of hopeful dog sitters though!! Sorry!

As far as the spelling, I always get it wrong , am gonna stick to sausage for now.

His paws and neck/back are very baggy and stretchy which is very funny!

.... Like his daddy his favourite treat is cheese!!!

That dog! Awwww!

(Nice bikes too)

But that puppy!!!! Awwwwwwww!!!!

Thanks mands. Little Henry the sausage is great!!

Reckon this could cause a clicking /creaking sort of sound?

Dropout is looking like this and when i removed wheel to double check for any cracks in frame this dropped out http://s1139.photobucket.com/user/Thomas_David_Slater/media/IMG_0775.jpg.html?sort=3&o=0

so looks like wheel was over tightened which may well have been causing the clicking sound I mentioned on last page. Seems like a bit of a schoolboy error but i normally tighten wheel as much as poss on a track bike to avoid chain slip of death!!

Innit, it adds zero comfort and is completely incompatiable with my gloves (super slippy!!) Maybe it should be reserved for wallhangers and show bikes for evermore.

And before anyone states the obvious I am wrapping the tape as tight as I can!

re- tape
start from the bottom to the tops, and this should prevent it from travelling
having said that, I am not sure of the glue quality as this should not happen anyway I think...?

Dude there is no glue at all or sticky side to benotto tape. So not a big suprise it is moving i guess!
Will try taping from bot to top although someone suggested that going from top to bottom is the only way with this tape in bar tape porn thread!

The clicking might be that there's grit or whatever in the bearings of the BB. Or that there is a bit of corrosion on the bearings themselves. That's if it's standard unsealed bearings...

Yes could be, i will regrease and inspect but doubt it because it sounds a little tinny and metallic and only occurs when cranking down hard, not when spinning on flat.

I suppose could be wheel moving a little bit in the dropout?
or more likely is some kind of movement in the stem. As you can see it is very old and the sound is almost identical to the clicking/pinging sound when im tightening the top bolt and it is turning then stopping. Have regreased, taken out and re applied so we shall see.

Hello, Have been using the forum a little bit for a while but never did one of these.

Myself, my daschund (when he was a weee pup) and my Faggin chromovelato road:

And my recently finished woodrup track:

*PERACHE 'Super-Professionelle' Saddle

I suppose it could be spokes moving a little against each other when pressure is applied to one side of the bike?

a couple more nice details for now.

(no sign of cracks here.)

Really liking this super perace saddle bought from Pistoffski. Very well used so makes the bike less of a thief magnet!.

But im having two problems. First one very minor. How do i stop my benotto tape from moving? I keel retaping it and have gone over the top with a lighter but everytime i sprint with my hands in the 'on the hoods' position i get this:

Also when cranking down hard I am hearing a little clicking sound every time my left leg pushes down. Did not notice it the first day that i rode the Woodrup but today and yesterday it has been there.
It is not loud but on a track bike (no cables etc to be rattling) that has just been built up

Sounds to me (not an expert by any means) that there may be a crack in the frame but have inspected (especially around the bb lugs) and no signs at all, and there are no dents or any kind of twisting so doesnt seem to have been seriously crashed in a previous life.

I am 99.9 percent sure this is a little scratch from locking up and not a crack:

Have tightened up saddle, seatpost, chainring bolts, pedals, headset seems spot on, BB is brand new so not sure what else it could be.

Can anyone help please?

From this....

(it looks like some on tried to repaint the lugs with nail polish??!)

With the seemingly very exciting red hook crit about to take place in Brooklyn this weekend, isnt it about time we had a rider from the UK on the podium?

This looks great! What kind if riding are you using it for?

The Roberts is shaping up nicely. Picked up some wheels from 1000AA today which means I just need to decide on a chain, get a 17t cog and wait for an SLR to arrive in the post and then we're good!

May trim the cloth tape back a bit, gonna wait until I ride it first though.

Also need a 23c tyre for the front as the 25 that's in there now stops the wheel from spinning. Nice and tight on the rear though!

just dropped this guy off at armourtex to be sprayed sparkly silver! Will post pics when built.

Two questions. Best way to apply decals? Any advice on avoiding bubbles? Also any advice on extremely tight tyres and avoiding pinch flats etc? I have bought some blb black mambas and I've never had this problem with gatorskins, kendas, schlabe's etc!!

Many thanks!

I'm not keen in the style, but thanks for your response!! Anyone else?

Looking for some leather cycling shoes, size 8.5/9 Do not need to be spd compatible as I want to ride them with clips and straps. Happy to buy well used or new at a decent price!

Let me know if anyone has anything suitable!

Many thanks.

Looking for some used leather cycling shoes in size 9. If anyone has anything that might be of interest to me that they want to get rid of, please give me a PM!

Just ordered a T2! looking forward to receiving it!

Radness, madness, fadness and sadness

Loooool

Lol! Thanks dude.

chris what kind of finish has the halfords paint got? would we be able to see a lil detail shot of it please?
did you use halfords also for the clear coat?
I asked because i always used graffiti intended paint in the past like montana and belton whick worked really well but no chance of a metallic sort of finish which is perhaps more likely with this car paint!
Loving this bike! Decals look great, must have taken real care with them!

will it be ready for the lfgss track day?
