Re: USE seatpost part @ the OP - I have been looking at your busted bit and I think you should check your setup rather than blaming over tightening. I have found that certain combinations of saddle, saddle angle and seat post angle do not play well together with the retro USE posts ... I...

So are there any NOS Deore XT, Tioga Surefoot 4 or 5 cage pedals around ? I fear XT will be to expensive and Tioga would match a few other bits of my build, so the Tioga's may actually be favoured - but what have you got ... ? WD :D

That's the only one sorry and it can't be bought ... It's my design made from a broken USE alien and some brackets I bought from the classifieds on here. The stainless part is laser cut and also holds a GoPro or computer - the GoPro mount is at the front and mostly hidden on that photo. It's...

If you want to move any of the fat stuff on please let me know ... ;-) WD :D

I see the screw was tightened just enough so the head was parallel ... 8) WD :D

Re: USE seatpost part I am amazed all those above haven't been snapped up yet ! WD :D

Some recent comments on the Charge Splashback's excellent looking decals triggered me to ask a question I have been thinking about for a while now ... Has anyone managed to successfully and permanently remove (i.e. not hide with a sharpie) tyre logos ? I am quite liking the Conti range of...

Yeah I think it was elite504 (I think that's his correct user name ! He had a kitten on his avatar), pretty sure I got a few bits off him 8) WD :D

Thanks for the comment on the Marin 8) Here's my box for prep / ano : And here's my good / spares box : WD :D

That matches perfectly - see my post above ... :lol:

I have green ones, they would match that bike ... :lol:

I've got a set of three in black / polished on the Marin : And another full set of completely unmarked black spare. I think I have about 12 levers refurbished and ready for ano 8) WD :D

Should be quite good with these sat on the bars :lol: : The problem with lights only on the bars is only seeing where the bars are pointing ... Clocked 37mph with no ambient lighting and just with the bar lights 8) WD :D

Cheap Planet X brackets work well and are way better than the original crap : WD :D
