Mrs B's road bike has an ultegra HT2 screw fit BB. Bike washing this morning and i discivered it has a ton of play. I dont have an Ultegra one to swap, but i do have an XT. Are they the same with just a different size (length) inner tube?
Thanks
Ian

It seems bizarre that we cant buy it in the uk.

However we have found a seamstress in USA who is hoing to sell us a small quantity.

Thanks for looking, i will post up how we get on.

Ian

No one got a source?

My Google-fu seems to find an Etsy shop in usa selling offcuts but nothing in uk.

Ian

Mrs B has a little project on the go, and is looking for some polartec alpha insulation fabric.
Does anyone have a recommended source?

Thanks

Ian

Thanks all! Im going to hunt down some Montane jackets to try!
Ian

Me and Mrs B ride in all weathers and are looking for an insulated jacket. Yesterday it was super wet and we had a decent amount of wind here in Snowdonia. We have good waterproof shells that we are happy with. We use a Galibier gilet which has some sythetic inaulation. Ideally it need to be a littl...

Thanks for your help guys. I will continue my search.

That would be fine if it is disc. How much do you want for it? Is it true and bearings ok?
Ian

I have been fixing bikes up for a friends children. Its gone really well and they come out with me now. She also wants to cycle and has been given an old 29er with no rear wheel. Does anyone have a decent 29 rear wheel with 135 qr? Budget is pretty low as she is a single mum but i would rather get h...

Starts in Menai Bridge, but Bangor station is only 4 miles away and the route goes past! It finishes in Cardiff

If you go onto The Racing Collective, they have a great route for XduroWales. You can get the GPX off the site.
I have done it twice and really enjoyed myself
Ian

Shaf, i always enjoy your posts, but i didnt have the PhD stuff....i did have some nice Shimano disc hubs off you though.
Im also looking forwards to meeting and riding with you!

Ian

Ok, so when i got home, i had another go at this….. I went to the athletes profile i was copying and pulled up the map of the route. Instead of clicking DOWNLOAD GPX, i clicked CREATE ROUTE and it the pulled up a route making page. I just clicked SAVE and it created a smaller file than before, which...

Ace. Thanks. I will try it as soon as im home from work!

Ian

Thanks. I shall try your suggestion when i get home

Ian

Ah ok. It has me puzzled as if you follow online tutorials or the Strava help page im pretty sure im doing it correct...but not the way you suggest. I shall see how that works out....

I have seen a couple of rides that Strava buddies have done and wanted to follow the same route…. I go to the map of the ride and click GPX download. When this has downloaded, i drag and drop into my Garmin Etrex 30x. The file appears in track manager and i select it. So far so good. However when i ...

I cant imagine anything better than Virosol (though this may be a personal failing). I use it in the park chain cleaner, then use a toothbrush in the last of the liquid in the chain cleaner to brush the cassette and chainrings. I then hose it off straight away. Its alkaline so it can fade bright ano...

The little plastic box i find totally fantastic. That and a toothbrush really makes your drive chain look like new. We use VIROSOL its a commercial floor degreaser. Its quite alkaline but brings all the grease off. We rinse everything and relube when dry. Its available from commercial cleaning suppl...
