Currently no plans to sell the cranks - I'm planning on building one new bike in place of two and these are destined for that. However, money talks so if they worth a bit, which I doubt given they're quite scuffed, I'd consider it. Thanks !

if it is any help i had those coda budget cranks on my killer v in the 90s and they had 'sugino' very clearly stamped on the back of them. this doesn't make them bad at all (maybe LX-ish); the sugino 900 cranks that used to come on top end konas were better though

interested in the schwalbe tyres please

hello, I'm really stuck trying to find somewhere who can have a go at helicoiling my crank thru-axle. the thread is an m18 and many shops I've spoken to say they don't have this size and are not sure about buying a kit just for my job. Winston Vaz, bless his heart, said I wasn't by any means the first person who had asked him about this and said try a forum. De Ver's mechanic who presides over the helicoil kit is away. it's a BB30 axle with, I reckon, plenty of meat on it so drilling the thread out and retapping won't cause a snap (famous last words/litigation getout)
edit: having looked into this a bit i think it might be worth trying to retap without drilling out and helicoiling. the tap i need will be an m18x 1 i think. does anyone have or know who might be able to help with this if not a helicoil?

does anyone have a helicoil kit that includes M18 bolt size please? I've borked my cranks
edit: or an m18 tap to try first

Hello! I need to hire a van this Friday, there seems to be a few options, none of which I can make clear distinctions about. I need to be able to get hold of it easily from SE5; not worry about ULEZ; return it to somewhere in Kent (not decided where yet); cheap and easy to drive. I have a normal clean licence

I don't get the bars, you can get proper mtb bars in weight and width to suit on pink bike for £15

I feel like the itv discussion around climate emergency (they use that term) was as good as can be expected -

This is a great, comfy long-distance bike. It has a full 105 groupset and has been serviced recently with new cables, and rear wheel hub and freehub bearings. I also have a new bb for you as I think this will need doing soonish if not now.
The wheels themselves are upgraded to fulcrum racing 7s with admittedly well used tyres.

It needs a clean and I have done something random with the bartape so bit embarrassed to do pics but will happily provide them on request
£460, in SE5

try BoB if you can gert hold of a uni login

Anyone done a fast track plumbing course? How much are they roughly? What are the good companies (or colleges/gov schemes) that offer them? And what is the qualification that you really need to get on and work (is it NVQ2)?

Looking at this as a new option to sort my miserable life out

could a blocked up catalytic converter have led to a blown head gasket? i have old car and recently had suspected blocked catalytic c, which i 'solved' by top revs up and down a quiet street releasing a huge cloud of soot. now i have coolant level that wont stay up although no 'mayonaise'.

/are the 105 shifters 10spd and the ones without the washing line cables? interested if yes!

awesome thanks!
