You're a gent, thanks muchly

Last time I got something turned down on a lathe, the guy charged me £20. I doubt it would be worth it in the long run..

Might be able to help with this if you get stuck..

And while we're on the subject does anybody want to buy a lathe?

Yes, but I need somewhere to put it...and I don't have 3 phase mains either.

Try contacting Rory Hitchins on Facebook

I was at the recent Aggregate 100 gravel enduro race a few weeks back and he had a lot of the TRP in development stuff hanging off his bike including these forks. As he is part of the TRP crew I am sure he could help you out!

There's an inverter with it Chris, also know someone who might sell their Myford Super 7 inc base if you're interested..

Tbh i know they're one of those things that would be 'handy to have', but the reality is unless you're really into that sort of thing, or something like model building, it may rarely get used & just ends up taking up space. My dads got a lathe & milling machine & is more than happy to do the odd job as it means he gets to use his!

[Zippy]

A bit more space, a bit more free time etc, I'll get one. Not quite the right time atm...

I'll contact you in 5 years time. In the meantime, I'll put requests into your Dad

[Wotsits]

No problem Chris, just let me know if you need anything knocking up & i'll get big Frank on it

SJS Cycles are usually pretty good for rack adapters/extensions/extras/spares and that kind of stuff...

Dunno how I managed to miss them!

Thanks a lot atk !!

I have already tried this, but I used the arms that came with my tortec ultralight rack, and a seatpost adapter, it works perfectly with zero seatpack movement, easy to take off and after sewing up a trampoline to fit between the bars, doubles as a mud guard when empty

[petemaz]

That'd be great Jameso. .. pm 555 at Yahoo dot com.

Haywire..I've sketched a rough plan of what I want to build... I also found some extender arms from an old rack to use for a prototype ..(!) Just waiting on a clamp with rack mounts coming and then I'll dig out the sewing machine!

This is what I use, only 42g but its oversized.

Yeah I've ordered a similar one...

[ctznsmith]

Non-tapered, 100mm suspension corrected, standard qr, 29+ carbon forks with anything cage mounts. Does it exist?

i.e. a non-tapered fork, non 15mm axle firestarter fork.

If steel is an option, there's a surly ogre fork on the classifieds that fits the bill....

[ctznsmith]

Yeah saw that and realised it's bargain. So I've messaged the seller.

However the inner weight weenie... ;-)

[Nevis]

I'm after a 140mm (or close) single ring, square taper crankset that will take a 28t chainring. It for a child's bike so don't want to spend a fortune.

[Nevis]

I seem to have broken this thread with my challenge.

After much searching I still haven't found anything.

Maybe a 152mm might be easier to find

A trails crankset that might work if I could find one

[Bearbonesnorm]

Tarty Bikes would be the place to look for Trials cranks but often they have a freewheel on the crank, so whether they'd work?

SJS sell Thorn 140mm cranks that should take a 28t ring, although as they're double/triple cranks you end up an odd chainline/q-factor depending on the set up.

Do BMX cranks go that short? Do you have any old cranks you could just chop, drill and tap some new threads in?

[Scattamah]

@Nevis - there's a 152mm triple sitting here (42/36/24)...my wife had it on a Raleigh SUB years ago but had it switched for 165. A few marks on it, but it might do in a pinch. PM me if you want it...just need to cover postage.

I'm after Exposure Revo bundle (light and hub) or wheel build deals? Anyone seen any on offer anywhere?

Getting inundated with usual online purveyors 'sales' email but unable to unearth any bargains...
