Fek! :oops: That's terrible...what's the thinking beyond a buck? Yup the Not-Easton stem came from the same stable I think...now you see it, now you don't -binned.

You're right, thank you very good point. -It might be Easton, but something don't feel right about it, and when things don't feel right they probably ain't. Specialized it is then, the other one FSA is also a copy of a carbon one I think... Yes Quality Wellgo's...the screws holding the...

Have 3 x 80mm MTB stems surprisingly. . .liked the look and colours of the high quality, Chinese carbon look Easton Copy best. Front brake cable is now too short and straining at the leash, but don't think got anymore brake cable lying round, hey ho....😐

Ela! El Cheepo Pedulez !! ;)

Wow! Good reading that forum post -Hornet's nest !!! :oops: Full range of takes there . . . generally positive I'd say, but clearly there's a payoff. I think they're great for many people, but the green argument for them is mis-aligned at present, make ya feel good when buying one though I'd...

Laughing at the Hetch-Ebike!!! 😂 Yup, loads of guys n' gals out on the trails with e-bikes, couldn't do it any other way, and they're brilliant by all accounts from my contact with them, makes the inaccessible available, total Magic. Guy in his 70's MTBing with a group of young pups, couldn't...

While out on the Hetchins, knocked into a guy I know by chance on the dirt road across the Magor marshes, nice guy, metallic green top of the range, latest Shimano motor electric bike, been uprated -effectively re-mapped with a little box -talked at me all about it for 1/2 hour. . .he'd had a...

Just thinking about it -difficult to get Cellulose lacquer Stephan, did it come labelled as 'Cellulose' -or are we talking car paint/heavy duty lacquer? Cellulose is petroleum based, and has been off the trade counter for many, many years. Modern manufacturer's use Acrylic + waterbased paints...

Echo that bro. :) Cycling is far more fluid, filled with a multitude of ever varying and changing choices that as a rider you're making -the promise of constant change keeps the focus and interest, the next part of the story for a human brain... a set of auto changes ain't really in the...

I have an 80! 😃 It's the one that was holding the bike onto the drop bars Just need a 31.8 -25.4 shim to use it...I'll make a shim, that time of the month

Ahhh...Interesting Q that one Stephan. Very nice bike BTW. Apologies this may be a deviation, and long winded... but useful I hope. If in doubt I use a blocker/inhibitor rather than take a risk with old Celly -Custom stuff/prestige vehicles particularly. But I have sprayed over old Celly...

Ahhh! So not even 'bike Marmite'..more Heinz 'Green Ketchup'. What a hit! They disappeared so fast from the shops I thought I'd imagined them...so not going Joe Biden after all. Initially did seem like an interesting idea, I bought in, seem to remember they were really expensive...I wasn't...

NAh...not got round to pedals yet for her (well spotted btw) -needs just a bit of a longer stem, it's putting her too upright...the one on it originally was 100mm, this one is 0.000000000000mm. Mid-point be about right -50mm? Anybody want to swop a 0.00000mm stem for a 50mm long 25.4 clamp...

FW/FM's were great...few years back I bought the new self selecting/auto Sturmey version for an old bike I was doing, made long ago by a bike hero in Chesterfield, part of the Spires club (someone may know), forget his name, bought and made frames...total machine on a bike and nice guy by all...

Thx mr non-Fix . . .one step closer to cycling Nirvana ;)

28T inner...on it's way. That chart confirmed it for me, and I can clear the cage I think. ...£33, that'll do it -Last big spend this month! Partly mi fault, - actually totally my fault. Bought a broken in, used Brooks B17, with Copper roofing rivets for the bike, that was in the right price...

That helps a load Fixie... got the Calc out and working out a 26T ratio...but 28 would be ample at that end I'm sure. Very useful chart mate - chain jump selection ok with the difference?

Tis a beauty though -Brilliant/Comp?...I did run an AM for a time so know what you're saying...indeed Well, how I sees it -we've got clothes for different occasions right? Same thing ;)

Do it! I was a devout stickler for originality, here for a couple of hours and these gentle folx showed me a new way of seeing things...new insight and perspective on life and ownership of material goods. The Pang of guilt only lasts as long as changing out original stuff, and the first ride...

Yeah had a set that came with a bike i bought from Oz reeeellly cheap -think over the 9 spd varies from 13 up in 1 size increments ...hills were like Cryptonite to that gearset, have to admit defeated me too. ;( Mind you -used to ride single speed everywhere...couldn't do it now...my legs would...
