what will elevate them to principal in your eyes?

*I have nowt to do with them, just keep tabs on their progress.

I don't know, just give them some time. They're very new.

I think the Cycling Embassy is a bit different from other campaign groups in that their aim is to work towards cycling becoming a normal form of transport for everyday people who don't necessarily consider themselves to be 'cyclists'. That means one of the things they concentrate on is promoting the kind of infrastructure used in the Netherlands, where the good quality infrastructure helps everyday people over there feel cycling is safe and normal - something the average non-cycling person probably wouldn't say in the UK at the moment.

They are very new and therefore still pretty small, but their different approach might be useful. I quite like their take on things anyway.

One thing they've got a petition about at the moment is to reject calls for mandatory helmet laws. I don't want to get into a helmet debate, but check out the link if interested.

I don't think the police are even aware that it's an offence - Just this evening i've seen two police cars drive into an asl box at a red.

If it's the BB cup you can't remove, have you tried Sheldon's method of using a big fat bolt? Has worked for me in the past.

I've used a rack that mounts to the brake bolt like that one above. It was ok with a light load, but felt like it swung around a lot when carrying a heavy load - I wouldn't want to cycle 1000 miles like that. The axiom might not be as bad though, I've never tried it.

Might be worth checking if the axle's bent. Take the rear wheel out of the frame and give the axle a spin, see if it wobbles.

Done.

Yup, thanks Dylan - will phone round these places next. Just wondered if anyone knew of somewhere before I do.

These are 700c wheels in a frame built for 27''s. The clearances are pretty big, but then the clearances on this frame are big with 27''s too, so using 700 wheels doesn't make a lot of difference.

Sounds like the same problem as here, if it is then a file should do the job.

And I think I remember reading about someone else on here having the same problem and filing the dropout.

(First post, so hello all.)
