    Diamond/square same thing depending how you look at it. The one Matt linked to will fit just fine.
    I’m in Cardiff, if you get one I’d be happy to fit it for you.

    How old is the bike ? newer ones seem to come with sram x5 cranks.
    This should fit if that’s the case. Not cheap though !!!
    Get some pictures up and I’m sure someone on here will sort you out.

    Someone should research into gene and cancer trigger points.

    Maybe someone should research the link between smoking and cancer eh?
    As everyone knows there’s been loads, and yes it can. But none it seems that answers the op’s question. Is smoking my pipe once or twice a week bad for my health ?
    I’m guessing the answers is, probably but only by a little bit.

    Stick a broom handle into the steerer underneath the crown. Measure from the front of the B/H to a line through the middle of the dropouts. That’ll be the offset.

    Not a pipe but I do smoke a couple of cigars a week. An article here that tries to explain what the statistics actually mean.

    Agree with the above, pull the bike out clean it spray some wd40 and oil at it. Then see what’s not working, and get those parts fixed.

    I still don’t get the pork pie obsession either…

    a snack pork pie warmed and softened by 3hrs in your back pocket is food of the gods 8)

    If it’s insured as a camper van adding you as a named driver might not be “that” expensive. Talk to the company who already insure it for your mum. Generally campervan insurance is a fair bit cheaper than it would be for an equivalent van.

    I’ll be there, supposed to start at 10.30 but I’ll join my mate in the 9.44 wave.

    Also you might consider staying somewhere else, as the two pubs in Talybont left a lot to be desired. One of them (the star inn) was minging and we couldn’t tell where the toilets ended and the bar started, looks like it hadn’t been done up since the 60s. & the only lager they could offer on draught was Carling or green Carlsberg *upchuck*

    Lol, star inns one of my favourite pubs, real ale, real people and a real pub. But then it would be a bit sad if we all liked the same thing.

    It would be a new bike for me 😀 But as above getting a test ride on a modern bike is excellent advise.

    If I use my medication properly and my Ashma is controlled I feel fine. As far as I can tell I’m not at any real disadvantage. It’s probably much the same for the pro’s. But if you gave me a choice of being Ashma free and being able to bin my inhalers I’d bite your hand off !!! I’d imagine Yates, Froome ect would feel the same.

    As this article explains Ashma amongst athletes is real not imagined. I developed exercise induced ashma when I gave up smoking, and started running and cycling properly. But it only startd when I returned from a warm climate to live back in the UK.

    Some people might be more clued up than I am. But if it was left to your children specifically then you will have to release it to them when they become 18.

    dies ride on the…road…which is full of…cars and buses and other motorised vehicles? Faced with that, I would want the finest brakes known to humanity.

    the threads about pro riders racing on closed roads in a peloton !!

    Can’t see any point buying a + bike and not riding it as such ?? If + is a “leap to far” just get something else.

    If he’d said to a male cyclist ” look it’s over your not quite good enough. Time to get on with your life maybe marry that girl your with, start a family” would that be sexist, would we be having this debate, I very much doubt it.

    It’s not ideal but can happen. Get the builder to true them, if it keeps happening then I’d be unhappy.

    I thought the Cotic appeal was its steel construction ? You start sticking bits of carbon in there and you might as well go the whole hog !!!

    iving outfits…..

    Stuck up bunch of precious @rses with no sense of humour IMHO.

    I bet they aren’t, my guess would be that their impassioned commited cyclists, who genuinly feel that two cyclists on fat bikes wanting to start early is inappropriate to the event and the memory of Fred Whitton. Its their event their call.

    The wordings not really the same, just the bit about a bike fit and it rides like a dream.

    Poor cycling, especially on footpaths and pavements does cause alarm. Especially to elderly people whose balance is poor and aren’t so aware of what is happening around them. They feel vulnerable and bicycles which to them suddenly appear out of nowhere genuinely cause them distress.
    Bells do actually help, but can’t change a dick by giving him a free bell, they are what they are on bikes, in a car or walking the dog 🙁

    I’ve never really noticed them before. But what must be a relatively small one was the backdrop to a scramble I was riding in Sunday.
    Can’t say it was an eyesore, it was just what it was. The countryside isn’t a chocolate box, its a working environment. A few minutes on you stopped noticing it.

    “if you were going to crash in a pile of bikes at 30 mph would you happily flip a coin as to whether you landed in the pile that had discs or the pile without, or would you choose the pile without?”

    without and so would any sane person. I don’t know how much more of a danger discs are in the pro peloton. But the guys who are actually doing the job don’t seem to like them. How would people on here think if something that they viewed as a health and safety risk was imposed upon them in their workplace ?????

    I don’t give a crap about strava KOM’s

    Fair enough, but why do you think other people who get a bit of enjoyment from Strava leaderboards don’t have a life ??? Come on tell me I’d love to know 😀

    [/quote]Everything now recorded as eBike so no-one else is affected.

    Good man 😀

    Leave it, no one with a life will give a shit

    Simple equation. The more a person says this, the less of a life “THEY” actually have.

    Mrs taxi has her own car and I’m not even on the insurance, so I’ve never put petrol in it 😀 . Oil, water, air in tyres thats a different matter 🙁
