Today’s ride was one of those ones that you have to get out the house because the mood and vibe is off. Clear the mind, a quick spin, avoid mondeo man turning across you when you’re clearly dangling your arm to turn left, type ride. I fixed this up last night, last time out, it started making...

Umming and ahhing over this, mainly because the the 700c leave little clearance for anything wider. I’m currently running some cyclocross tyres but the more the watch rons (ultraromances) YouTube the more I want a set of 650b’s and some wider rubber. Which might end up being around the same size...

YES! Magura don’t have yello fluro lines although they do have different colours over on the tartybikes site. But the gear cable gives the accent to the now slightly faded frame decals

I’ve already got too many bikes, this might be the next issue :LOL:

Bump

I know right?! Defo two will adorn the stand legs (still haven’t cleaned it, lol) maybe the third large one will look so good on my black tool cabinet. From now on park tools can go whistle, I’m voting for pedro ;-)

So, the stand mentioned above was in working order but had a few issues… Plus, someone had removed the quick clamp mechanism and replaced/welded on a threaded bar and crank handle. the stand worked but it wasn’t great. I got the quick clamp from eBay for a reasonable price but couldn’t find...

Not mine ;-) https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/116350787710?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=SUj57RbmSf2&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=uYWnPjnRT0m&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

I did think that at first but then thought that was too obvious and took spacing to mean the jump in chainring sizes. Most cranks are designed with the correct offset (between rings) so hence the confusion. But a picture is worth a thousand words so now we know…there’s no need to worry about...

Generally a 22/32/42 for compact drive (94/56bcp) Or 24/36/46 for ATB (110/74 bcp) What crank did you get?

Could I take the caliper please? What band size is the mech btw?

I was not expecting to stumble across this story when researching the freehub buddy https://www.mtbr.com/threads/toolmaker-paul-morningstar-found-dead-in-booby-trapped-california-home.1169279/

@dazzawazza not me ;-)

Swapped the wheels today, honestly I prefer the cheap tan walls and spokes. As iconic spins are, I think these lx/217’s fit the build better…

Normally Zaskar run a 31.8mm front mech band size.

Shame someone had to do that though, people are strange :-/

You know that box in the shed/garage??? Yeah? You know, the one with that job you can’t face to do! Well that box did contain an xt rear mech that was being run alongside this cassette. I’m not an expert but I suspect the previous owner was feeding the drivetrain with 3in1 oil (or something...
