Re: BB200 2024

Aaagh - stuck in 200/300 indecision here! I'd wanted the 300, but am suffering with plantar fascitis at the moment so it all depends on the amount of hiking involved... But I've cried off doing a Bob Graham this summer and my place in the spine race for next January (because of the PF) so should pro...

Re: Shimano hub question

But it's relatively simple to skim the back of a road cassette to fit the MTB tub, so long as it's one with a central aluminium spider on the bigger cogs. That's easy for you to say :grin: I did this once for a friend and it took me ages to mount it in the lathe square :lol: It was only that he had...

Re: A perplexing issue with gears

Check the ends of the outer cables, under the ferrules. I had a stupid issue with shifting on my road bike and couldn't find it for ages, turned out the outer had split right where it left the shifter so it couldn't be seen... but compressed lots when used and gave a similar issue to what you're fin...

Hi, I've got a rear hope wheel with a SRAM driver, and want a Shimano one. Is anyone in the opposite position and want to swap free hub bodies?

Re: DIY Frames and fixtures - Aluminium section joins and sliders

Massively overkill, but have you looked at PVD http://www.peterverdone.com/ and the modular frame jigs he makes and uses?

Otherwise, you can definitely get screw in corners for use in large display boards (might be what you showed above)

I went to the pump track on my BMX last week, and thought how much fun it would be on a 26" jump bike too... So had a rummage about in the garage and built one entirely from bits I was trying to clear out! Oops... Think I may have too much bike crap/treasure/priceless relics! https://lh3.google...
