Haven't checked that, good shout.

Smaller tyre and different brake? Might just look at another frame to be honest!

It's vertical - You reckon? Damn.

Anyone able to give some advice on a chain stay u brake? I'm going insane. This old MBK frame needs one, but it's a mountain bike so put some fairly wide tyres on, I have a dia compe hombre brake fitted - the caliper arms touch when the pads contact the rim (already had to find some thick pads to get them close enough to contact) - it also seems like the wheel is about 5mm off centre - Most modern chainstay u brakes seem to have very narrow clearances.. Am I wasting my time trying to get this working? (I have re-organised the washers, realised I've taken the first two photos while messing about)

Omnium owners/general cargo bike experience Havers - I've had my omnium for about a year, gets some pretty heavy use - due to enjoying recycling/being cheap I've never had any kind of proper branded webbing, I made something just using old inner tubes and some sort of webbing stuff I found. This is what's happening to the front headset, should I be worried? Should I just bite the bullet and buy something made for the job?

Did I sell you the frame? Looks great, wish I could afford to buy it back.. Good luck with sale.

I'll take that hope brake if you can post, will DM you.

Very unlikely, but I've mislaid the charger for this planet X branded light, they don't keep spares and are back up to £50.. If anyone has one spare, let me know..

95kg Vs 5kg..

Asked this in the carradice thread too but.. Saddle min/max markers are out of whack with a bagman support on.. Time to worry? Different seatpost?

Just fitting a bagman.. Is this something anyone else would worry about regarding the min/max markers? I ask as someone who broke the rails on a saddle very recently.

I'm honestly not sure - I've included a few more pictures if that helps.

Having a bit of a clear out - moved what didn't sell to eBay.

Pm'd on the saddlebag

I had the same thing - used some modelling tools to get it out, worked a treat.

Any ideas on this? Shimano 130 bcd 42 tooth track chainring, some wild prices on eBay so not sure if I've gone too low.

Really sad about this, loved YMO since I was fifteen. RIP.

Cheers! Do you sell the 20 at velo?

I've got a Shimano ten speed Zee shifter and rear short cage mech - Looking to get a long cage but hoping to not have to buy a new shifter - Is this an option or do I need to swap the whole set?

Anything you'd recommend around a 20x1.9 that's a bit nobbly? Using the bike for work and will occasionally be travelling along Bournemouth sea front, lots of sand..

Brill, cheers!

Nearly there building my omnium cargo and the 20" tyres I had kicking around - maxxis holy roller - have 75kgs max load printed on them.. Should I be concerned? Bike will regularly have about 15/20kg of bits on the front and I'm not exactly slim..

Planning to loose the clump closest to the camera in the image but partner is a gardener and garden is tiny so keen to make the most of the space - Maybe trellis up the sides would help? Never heard of dpc before, that's a good shout, cheers. Airbricks at the base and then vent at the roof it is. Planning to move the door so it's easier to take the omnium in and out.. Also should be able to store it non-vertically. Pics attached. Do need to do some emergency repairs to the roof of the existing one - anyone had any experience with osb + felt roof?

Cheers, had a go and it looks like it'll do the trick. Does anyone have any experience avoiding a damp shed? Current on is wooden sitting on a few blocks, frame surrounded by a weatherproof membrane but it's still gotten pretty bad after a decade.. Plan for the new one is to pour a concrete base and run a course of bricks, on which the new wooden frame will sit. Should I have ventilation top and bottom? Is insulating it going to make a difference?

My big plan for this year is to tear down and rebuild my shed/workshop that's stood for about ten years as the damp problem is getting serious.. Does anyone have any recommendations for software that might be good for planning a build? Currently limited to an iPad pro.

Obligatory picture of old shed attached..
