OP are you doing anything with this data?

BoardinBob +1 But in all honesty I can’t see why you bothered, Rich’s post shouted at volume that he wasn’t going to listen. Like Mike said it read like a Ukip pamphlet.

@Rich – Your guy in the bank story… hahahahahahahaha

I need to know whether it’s worth buying one of these for my Inbred.

Thanks guys, that’s cleared that up.

I have one in singlespeed guise, great bike for local winter rides. Though mine has Marzocchi forks that I’m planning to switch for rigids,

I run 1×10 on my 456 and Superlight, switching from 3×9 and 2×10 respectively and haven’t looked back; you do need a NW ring though or the chain will fall off at the slightest bump. I got on absolutely fine at Mayhem this year and there was plenty of climbing there, though nothing stupidly steep.
In winter locally I ride my Inbred ss. that’s even better for avoiding the mud clog, but then Warwickshire has even less hills than Leicestershire 🙂

Singlespeed, keeping it real, I like that.

Is that you darling? Go with what mcnulty said 🙂

If not, does he have a dropper post?
I’m looking for a Camelbak too, will prob get a Mule, people say they are the best.

The web isn’t everything.

Compatible? Not exactly selling your services.

Mountain biker???

These points aside I have a lot of time for the Greens, so good luck!

we were on the Black Mountains last weekend and it kinda dawned on me how remote it was..

If you are going somewhere remote it makes sense to have a route plan and leave a copy with someone telling them when to expect you back. If it’s remote enough chances are you won’t have signal so the emerg serves not understanding you is not your immediate problem.

How come no-one blamed the cyclist?

Disappointed with the length of the road sections this year 🙁

No but lost a pump not far from there, possibly on the canal path between Wilmcote and Stratford.
One one these but in white: Mountain Pipe[/url]

Take the week off. Did you not know he was coming?

South Staffs? That’s near Cannock innit? Go hire some bikes.

Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens. Er, nope
Bright copper kettles. Still nope.
Warm woollen mittens. Yes, now we’re getting somewhere.
Brown paper packages tied up with strings. Yes, especially if they come from CRC. ??

PS: Zombie’s wouldn’t be stopped by fire, you’d just have flamming zombie attacking you.

Excuse me, I think you’ll find we have official guidance to the contrary:

“Well, there’s no problem. If you have a gun, shoot ’em in the head. That’s a sure way to kill ’em. If you don’t, get yourself a club or a torch. Beat ’em or burn ’em. They go up pretty easy.”

Never expected to come here for zombie killing advice.

Sorry if naive question, but is clamping on the top tube advisable? I understood (from a bike shop mechanic) that this was not advisable as the top tube wasn’t strong enough, and you risk denting (ie crushing it) it.

His recommendation was that best practise was to always clamp using seat post.

Maybe if you have a nasty carbon frame 😉 ‘Steel is real’ :p

This is my favourite post on STW EVER!

I temporarily converted my HT to SS to give it a go and when I found I could keep up with my regular riding buddies, who are on average 15 years younger than me, I was hooked and built up a permanent steel SS Inbred. There isn’t really anything round my way (Warwickshire) that I can’t ride on it and the main trouble is spinning out on the flats so I’m changing the ratio from 36/20 to 32/16.
I still take gears to Cannock though but I know people who don’t.

Inbred single speed, less than a week ago.

Thanks schmiken, that was it, D’oh! Thank you very much.

Shorter bolts it is then, CTBM has them 🙂 thanks

Is it not just a poorly disguised ad, posted in the from forum? Somebody make him an offer why don’t you?

no need, as you can see the bolt is now out, unless you mean in order to reuse it but I think I’ll just buy another.

G-clamp was a great idea. Even with the grip off the bars I couldn’t turn the nut but a bit of wd40 and a clamp that was way too big for the job and finally the nut is out. (a bolt actually of course)
So glad I didn’t drill or cut because now I only need a new bolt.
Cutting would have been very difficult because although the was a tiny gap it was no wider that a hacksaw blade. Drilling would almost certainly have made a good old mess of the alloy.
As usual a great team effort from STW, thanks all.

T10 too small, T15 too big. +1 for the cold chisel though (thanks Somafunk). Wrapped it in a towel first to limit damage and bob’s your Knob. Good job it was the outer nut only.
Now to see if I can replace the grip end, but I guess I’m looking at new grips.
Thanks for all the speedy replies.

Do you have the right IS to post mount adaptor on there? Caliper looks angled a bit too far away.

I think the adapter is fine, there’s plenty of room in the caliber mount slots to move it closer, in fact in this picture the nuts aren’t even tightened.
Hoping the tugs turn up tomorrow, I want to ride it! Thanks for the advice btw.

Judging by the comment about my QR should I look to swap to a bolt or does that require a whole new wheel?

Thanks Jonesy +1. Great feedback

so according to Tredinnick Coxy is “Ignorant”, perhaps he should sue.
Perhaps he won’t

iwatch clone arrived from HK today, still waiting for new jockey wheels.

I switched 180 to 203 (Hope rotor), had the same issue and used washers. No issues to date.

EDIT: I don’t really race
I do, and still find it fine (as was 1×10 with 36t and 11-36), so that’s another use case it works for

Snap! (Apart from the race bit and wouldn’t go back to 2xanything. My other bike is 1x er, 1 🙂 Gets you fit!

Sampling & buying local produce is making a charge 😉

That UBS stuff, where do you get it from? Only place I can find is scottoiler direct.

That William Morris wallpaper is a bit dated tbh.
