Errr, water has air in it? :lol: Technically water is an oxide of hydrogen... DiHydrogen Oxide. When this molecule breaks down, it is into Hydroxil and Atomic oxygen, which requires great energy to do. Hydraulic fluid is hydroscopic and will absorb water, this is why brake fluid on my...

The Custom Steel Market is the place to play. I have a custom touring frame made from Columbus Max and Max OR, that bike was a riot to ride and rode so fast because the back end felt like it had springs in it that pushed you forward with every pedal stroke. Crashing it was scary though...

The old UN72 that I ran with some old school cranks was 122.2mm I seem to recall, then when low profile Shimano cranks came out, they went to 113mm.

Surely this is only in Hydroxil and atomic oxygen which will quickly reform, hardly going to lead to gas pockets I would have thought? My biggest concern would be with corrosion within the brake's moving parts, however, if all is well anodised this should not be a problem. Using water is...

Forget Snow flake, try another lacing method. I used to build light weight XC wheels on road hubs and butted spokes. Best set I ever build were for a friend who wanted Ultegra or 105 hubs for his Zaskar. The lacing I used was radial front wheel and for the rear I used two cross on the...

I used to run Scott SE brakes on my Orange Clockwork race bike circa 1994/5 and they worked well on the gritty trails of Dartmoor. My biggest mistake was running them with Campag Stheno rims which were horribly narrow and concaved, making braking a bit of a horro show until the rims were...

Boing. Looks like £600 was optimistic. Price now £500. If this does not sell her, it looks like another frame is going to get hung on the wall as art. :D :idea: Would members recommend breaking her down and selling off the bits separately?

Ok, many thanks. The price is currently £600. She is a nice bike and it will break my heart to sell her.

Hello there folks, I have been directed to you by some friends on my Motorcycle forum because I have a beautiful bike to sell. This bike is my absolute pride and joy and is something I am being forced to sell due to failing health. I have considered E-Bay, but I don't want some nerd buying it...
