I also wonder if it's due to eBay getting a huge amount of complaints / returns / disputes to handle in addition to the shady nature of many deals. I've been keen to buy eBike stuff for my wife, but most of the eBay things don't inspire confidence. Buy a wheel secondhand: does the motor work...

Yep, got just the thing, set of SKS 55mm in silver came off my wife's 16" Kona. Say £20 plus postage?

And off they go up the road to the thrrrrrrp-thrrrrrrp-thrrrrrrp sound of the front mech scraping the chain. :rolleyes:

My experience too, never on Sugino chainsets either. I think it was all those clever pawls and ramps that Shimano added after the supposed 'innovation' of front indexing. Still happily using thumbies for the front. They work so much better.

The problem often is that hybrids have longer top tubes as the fit is for flat bars. Go for it by all means but check top tube length first to avoid disappointment.

Looks like it will turn out lovely. I've some very nice pointy top Record Ergos (9s) which would look lovely on that if you are interested.

In fairness I never bought XTR, but certainly LX was always costlier and less durable than a decent ring (Stronglight Zicral, TA or Middleburn).

Yes, exactly. BUY A NUT!

Exactly. Get a longer allen screw and fit a nut at the back, as I said.

I've a Royce tool I'll lend...PM me.

I only ever got it with Shimano rings. Personally I stopped it by never running Shimano rings (which were overpriced and made of a silvery material with the properties of Dairylea). For everyone else, I imagine that Shimano corrected some of the design flaws.

To measure, buy a plastic vernier: £2 off eBay!

I have a chainset, 170mm, various rings too: 50 and 48 TA outers, TA inner.

They are notorious for it, it's soft alloy and not enough thread length! Fit a longer allen bolt and a nut at the back.

I'm not sure what you are looking for. I have a barely used set of Columbus full carbon forks, 220mm steerer or thereabouts. £90 posted?

The best Lava Dome model ever, yours looks lovely! Planet X Lobster Claws are excellent, they also do (did?) some fleece gloves which are excellent and lasted well.

I agree, the nickel seems to have lasted better than on most. The big downer is the need to rebuild the forks, and the unknown horrors that may lurk inside.

TA or Stronglight from Spa Cycles.

So wrong it's right. It's carried off by the black chainset, decals and the contrasting frame colour.

Black Hole Or Paddy Partsbin?
