You can get this sort of non slip matting from the pound shops, I use it in the car to stop parcels sliding about the back seat, it's very effective

Cheers for the offer But it's BB7's I'm after

All the best

Cool

Folks

Looking for a set of BB7 road calipers front and back, can swop for a MTB set of BB7 or cash

Don't particularly need the mounting brackets but if they come complete then it's a bonus

Cheers Roddy

Even if the forum dies, it would be good if it could be archived, due to the info and story's. Is a very helpful place

You get these sort of straps for SLR camera, a friend has one and swears by it, he loves it, I'm surprised a google search hasn't popped anything up here you go these are mainly for SLR's but they should help with sites/ names to get one for a small compact camera http://www.amateurphotographer.co.u...

my Genesis Longitude has them on the top side of the downtube, not used them, but it was one of the things that swung the decision to get the Longitude.

its worth the flexibility they offer.

Any use?

plain steel fork 100mm, but having the anything mounts might be an advantage

A Bottle holder that allows side access helps - I use these ones https://www.evanscycles.com/specialized-zee-cage-ii-dt-EV200585 Nice one, I was looking at using the old wire cage style as they flex a bit more but that looks perfect and it looks like it'll allow a bit of movement in the fitting of ...

its done WooHoo!! I made the flaps a bit long (on purpose honest ) https://c3.staticflickr.com/9/8453/28788695714_96b8f7b589_c.jpg DSC_0085 by Rod K , on Flickr But I did trim them down a bit except for the top tube as I used one side to be able to wrap round the top tube so there is material under ...

I found if you ran them soft they had a weird feel to them, I ended up having not at max, but maybe about 3/4 of max, basically enough squish left to have the benefit of the large volume tyre for comfort, but hard enough so they ran like a big road bike tyre, dont actually remember the values though...

Not too shabby :-bd .... Cheers for that :grin: .....How do you plan to add the straps after already sewn the body together? Its quite common to sew into the seams whilst putting it all together, but I tend to prefer sewing a webbing 'ladder' around the outside edge (like alpkit) as its easier and ...

update.. Started putting the zip in, and after a few false starts and copious amount of swearing, I finally got it in, not pretty by any means by seems secure https://c5.staticflickr.com/9/8756/29056582140_2bee7ced86_c.jpg DSC_0078 by Rod K , on Flickr Then came the flap to cover the zip, a bit bett...
