Re: BB200 2023

After reading these great posts about this year’s BB200 it makes me want to come out of BB200 “retirement “, next year Mac?? Got to be done Rob. If you don't climb those hills, they wither and die. I think we could make up the Home Guard section for next year. The harder it sounded the more I thoug...

Re: New Headset in the Freezer

Just a quick update, In a very non scientific experiment, The old headset ( in the frame 8 years) took a lot of whacks, brute force and ignorance ( a quality I am blessed with) with the rubber mallet on the removal tool to get the upper and lower cups out. However.... the new headset from the freeze...

Re: New Headset in the Freezer

It does shrink if you freeze it, but not by much. Coeff thermal expansion for aluminium alloys approx 13 x 10^-6. Temp difference +15C to -12C gives total of 27C. Diameter of headset say 45mm... total contraction 0.015mm. So not enough to make much difference with the tolerances of manufacture of p...

Re: New Headset in the Freezer

Thanks for the replies, this is the first time using the freezer, I have previously not bothered and just pressed it in, but as it is a nice Hope headset I thought I would try it.

New Headset in the Freezer

I will be fitting a new Headset into a steel frame and I have put the new Headset in the freezer, Is it an urban myth that it helps? From a Physics point of view it should but does it actually help in "Real life"? My home made press is ready and I have the knocking out the old headset tool...

I have just watched this film again, not sure how many times it is now but lots in the last 40 years or so! No doubt it is not particularly PC but boy it`s funny in a harmless dated kind of fashion, I love the innuendos. Trying to decide if I identify more with Bernard Breslaw`s character or with Te...
