    Single front cog conversion

    Narrow wide ring will retain the chain better, and you go 10spd get a clutch mech and you're done.

    Touring. Trailer or racks? Pros and cons please? How far is

    They're a bit heavier, but the thermarest inflatable type mats pack smaller, and if your going summer time, a good lightweight way is the tent flysheet and just a ground sheet gives a touch more space and less weight, the kimm guys used to use waterproof maps as the groundsheet.

    Broadband provider recommendations - BT Infinity?

    We're unlimited on plusnet, whole phone and broadband package is under £20, and even tho we're still on copper speed is ok for watching iplayer. Some connection speed is lost if a few things on WiFi at once, but that can be got around with direct connects for media and also using powerline...

    Broadband provider recommendations - BT Infinity?

    Swapped from BT to plusnet and service from the peeps on the phone is spot on and no problem with the broadband, BT weren't happy when we left and tried to claim all sorts, which was just guff.

    Guy Martin - Spitfire restoration

    Missed the first 20mins myself, excellent craftsmanship that went into the rebuild, and just goes to show how great our engineering heritage is, and I still can't work out how they managed to build so many in a week during war time.

    Bad vibrations.

    Possibly a dual mass flywheel on the way out, if it starts to break up then it'll be unbalanced causing vibration.

    New project - Pace RC500 F2

    Can't help thinking that it'd look cool ditching all the old gear, and rebuilding with modern stuff, fitting a narrow/wide would make look less cluttered, and it would look to out of place with new gear.

    If you go it alone, then it'll be classed as overseas postage ;-) I use ecp and their click and collect a lot, and make use of discount codes a lot. Recently got an oil level sensor for the bora exactly the same part as vw supply and a third of the vw price.

    Motor trade question?

    Unless the ecu is remapped the software can't go out of sync, sensors like the air flow sensor can drift which effect the running, but if it was using oil, then either a breather was off or there was wear within the engine.

    Stupid question time...chains

    For years I've run sram chains, but when I went 10spd the cassette was a bundle with a shimano chain, I want to take a couple more links out, so the question is can you use sram powerlinks with shimano chains?
