Re:
Today I put a new AHeadset on my old Carrera Krakatoa circa 1992. Thought I'd build this for Aviemore with an 80mm sus fork added so I'll be a bit retro but a bit bouncy and ready for a trail centre at Laggan. I put the headset cups in back to front, the bottom one in the top, the top one in the bottom and then wondered why I couldnt eliminate the slack when I tightened the compression bolt :facepalm: :facepalm:
You'd think after 20 plus years mtb'ing i'd know something about bikes by now !!!!!

Finally and at last after havering over things for a decade I finally get myself a 4 jaw chuck for my lathe.

Kind of chuffed about this as I got it direct from RP for less than 1/2 price. D
Other than that bikes are on hold, well building or buying wise anyway. General pottering but a bit further afield though still the urbanite

well saturday i went through to see big Al at wheelcraft near campsie glen. the buckle in my rear on the anthem resulted in a popped spoke nipple as the rim was starting to go. Leslie bikes recommended them.
so 45mins drive on some lovely roads followed by an hour or so blethering and watching Al at work. ended up getting both hope hubs fully serviced and a new rear built up. back on saturday to collect followed by a wee hill walk up the campsie fells.
