Thanks! Sent you a PM.

@Chak I'm in E17

@crossedthread thanks. I haven't yet taken the chain off. The bolt is free and out. Some advise against this though as it may damage the spindle/faces. May give it a go if all else fails.

Hello. Any advice for removing a drive-side square tape crank with stripped threads?

I am looking for a non-destructive method and had a look at the options discussed in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9n1z2kwmL8o
. A few extra complications: It's a triple and there are no big gaps between the different chainrings. Therefore, I don't think there is enough space to get the legs of a gear puller through to hook behind the crankarms. There is also one of those chain guides between the frame and the smallest chainrings. This makes hammering with a punch from the non-drive side to get it off quite difficult as the chain guide makes it difficult to get close to the axle.

Any tips? Ideally non-destructive.

As in title. (north) east London based.

Many thanks!

That's a great tip thank you. Will have a look

Thanks for the suggestions. The fleegle don't seem to have much of a rise to them. The Brand X look pretty spot on but like the OP looking for something silver.

Also looking for something similar.

Hi. Are the long reach brake levers still available and what is the reach? Thank you.

These still available?

Anybody have anything knocking around? Current tyres are too knobbly for city use (Ritchey Megabyte 2.1). Happy for a swap as well.

London based. Thanks for looking.

Thank you very much. Apologies currently don’t have access to the frame for pics. Indeed brifters hence mentioned the cable stops. Will get that band on and that should probs work. Thanks all

Hello. I have an old frame I am helping a friend build up and it has a cable stop on top of the chain stay. There are no cable guides or stops for the rest (nothing on the down tube). Any idea what kind of guides are necessary for this? There is a threaded hole for a cable guide at the bottom of the bottom bracket, but then there is no way to get the cable to the top of the chain stay. I was thinking about running an outer cable the hole way and fasten with ziptie/clamp on cable guides, but then you can't use the chain stay cable stop.

I have been looking around and are these type of guides the solution? I can't really see properly from the picture but it seems like a guide that allows the cable to stay above the chain stay? Something together with a clamp on cable stop like this one higher up?

FYI I am setting it up 1x and ignoring the FD so that's not a consideration.

Many thanks in advance!

I'm after some spacers if this is still available?

Bump. Looking again/still looking! Thanks.

Un-dibs and bump.

pm

Next dibs for me then please

Thanks, but far above my budget.

Would be interested, if the braketracks are still alright, and need Shimano 11sp freehub anyway.

Very long shot but are these still available?

Still available?
