That one in the outcast where they sll say at the end ‘ great ride lads’& ‘see ya next week’ then they all ride off in different directions thinking ‘****’

According to this: http://www.bikepedia.com/QuickBike/BikeSpecs.aspx?Year=2003&Brand=Bianchi&Model=S.I.S.S&Type=bike the BB width is 68mm, but it doesnt tell you a lot else :-(

Id send Bianchi an email.

Thanks for that Bill. Yep, thats the sort of place we had in mind.

Anyone else with any other recomendations?

I ordered a Phil Wood BB from them a couple of weeks ago THEN asked them if they were road ones and not mtb (didnt know there was a difference) they said they were road only so I canx my order. but they still took the money out.

Ive asked them for a refund, but its not back in the account yet.

They seem OK though, but take a couple of days to answer emails.

KMC K710SL Ti Nitride.

£30 odd quid from On-One but incredibly durable.

Thanks for all your comments & tips people :-)

Ace shots.

1 & 4 my faves too. Well done.

Inshed ?

And rather predictably…

Hah! If only I were a blagger :D

How ya doin John?

Yeah, I wanna watch it too and Im too tight to buy Sky, and Im too tight to buy the DVD.

You live & learn.

I dont think I couldve peed on it today, even if I had me tweezers with me.

Thanks folks.

Im running a 203 with no probs. Yet.

Kings do it too eh? They dont come much more bling than that.

Cheers Spoon. I might give that a go. Its a Planet X hub BTW.

Endura thermabibs here (for the winter at least). I dont wear longs anymore.

Those prices (in the first posts link) are amazingly cheap.

Couldnt get that to work :?

Cheers anyhow.

SSer here, so only any good on the ups.

Im using the Middleburn 4 arm spider on my silver RS7’s. I could never get more than 3-4 months out of the Uno soft alloy ring, and so Im happy with the stainless On-One chainring.

Sorry, no pics at the mo.

I found Apocalypto to be a fantastic film.

I think the first half is tremendous, then it gets daft.

Ta.

Im not that impressed with my Endura eVent jacket. Hard to say exactly what I dont like about it, but the performance of the fabric hasnt amazed me to the tune of the £140 I paid for it. Maybe I find the arms a little short for my baboony frame?

I may try the Endura MT500, but the arms would probably be the same cut.

I may flog the eVent on here. Its black XL.

:(

The reason I ask is that Id normally go for steel for longevity, but the PW website says "alloy cups are Teflon impregnated providing compatibility with aluminum and titanium BB shells."

Thanks for your comments people.

Dunno if its helped me, but it all good to know :-)

Thanks ir_bandito

Good to read a ‘real world’ review.

I must confess reading the blurb has me convinced its the way to go, but like I say, there are very few punter comments about.

Cheers

The tapers are shot. Either by me not keeping the nuts tight enough (on one ride the ND side came loose) or by keeping them too tight and the tapers compressing. Dunno exactly, but Ive lost confidence in square taper and I know that isis bb’s dont seem as reliable, but the SKF ‘seems’ better.

Thanks poggs

Anybody else?

Bloody brilliant :-)

Oops I meant RJC Extreme

“unless you have very slightly distorted the crank taper hole”

Thats what I thought Id done to be honest, and was just about to buy another set of cranks from RCJ Extreme (£76 – bargain), but as I say, my LBS reckons I dont need to.

Sorry, didnt mention. Its a new UN54 in there, and Ive got a couple spare. What happens is that the crank just sits all the way down the taper, whereas on the Hope that we tried, it just seemed a ‘precision’ fit.

Tried calling Middleburn too to see what they recommend but its an answer machine until next Monday.

If youre sticking with square taper, AFAIK, to reduce weight, you need to go into Ti territory, so the possible answer to your question is no. – But I could be wrong :-)

Wish I had the arty flair you clearly have. Good pics.

I cant believe anyone would really pay £500 for a watch. :D
