+1 Rubino Pros … go for the 150tpi version … :)

just finished writing a vb script to auto “f5” the page … :)
Now to sit back and relax with me pot-o-coffee … :)

tub tape might do as well ….

Not changed the cable routing from the ergo ?
That can “upset” them too … if the curves are particularly tight radius

for an extra “spanner in the works” … I changed from 34 inner to a 36
whilst leaving the 50 on and a 12-27 out back …. much more time on
the inner ring with a better spread of gears – OK so it’s campag and I
therefore have 11 to play with … but 90+ rpm is comfy now over most
terrain I ride … :)

http://www.ridewithgps.com ?

one set of rules for them and another for the rest of us … ffs … ggrrrrrrrrr

My Golf does exactly this and starts doing it about 1500-2000 miles
before it’s next service – post service it’s a peach again …

Coincedence ???

I’ve just put a bolt in my whippet’s one to stop the crud
getting in the threads !

lack of dogs/walkers/chavs/numpties, love the night sounds owls
and the like … perfect riding time :)

+1 epic bleed’s guide and defo +1 to NOT pulling the lever,
unlike me … :)

try running it past the various frame builders/repairers like
Argos or Mercian and see if they think the dropout can be replaced ?

mocve the cleats first …. try it and see – but only change 1 thing at a
time :)
Sounds a lot like your cleats are too far forward though !

check the chainring teeth for bends or burrs …

@DONK … Pi55ed myself :)

buy a new one from ay-up … they have uk supplies again these days :)

hhmmm …. the ringtone used by Wallander’s phone …
the Kenneth Branagh version – totally unique in my office … :)

+1 the stada for road use (that was it’s intended market too :D).
use mine occassionally off road when I’ve forgotten to charge the MAXX-D
and it’s been ok.
Warrenty (twice – different lights) has been superb.

let me have an address I’ll get it in the post … email in
profile.

can you find the part number on this .. http://techdocs.shimano.com/media/techdocs/content/cycle/EV/bikecomponents/FC/EV-FC-M590-2926B_v1_m56577569830696742.pdf ?

‘cos if it’s no.4 – I’ve got one spare :)

Kinesis GF Ti …. does road, muddy lanes, floods, commute, fun, shopping
and as I’ve discovered over the weekend CX as well … even if not
planned and with bluemels still fitted :)

my 12 year old tdi golf does that too …. Suspect the alternator/starter
motor but then mines done 226k !!

Crank speed so unlikely to be the glow plugs ….

It’s in the garage later this week for “tests” :)

charge or jamis … nice and cheap :)

+1 the mkiv 1.9 …. mine’s a gt tdi pd 130 on a 51 plate with 225K so
far. Still does 50+ mpg, original clutch (not looking forward to
replacing that !!!), and had almost nothing go wrong in 12+ years. had
the aux drive belt tensioner failure repair under warranty, 1 dashboard
computer failure and lots and lots and lots of diesel :)

Defo handles like a barge though ….

Colleague has the later mkv (??) 2.0 and has had all sorts of issues
with electrics

from what I remember … left lane for exits 1 and 2, right lane for
exits 3 and 4 …
Although the highway code used to say something about watching out for
crossing traffic so if there’s a car inside of you heading for an exit
after yours you “should” give way to it and go around again rather
than cut them off !!

112.9 mph ! … on sand ! … on a push bike ! … EEEEKKKKKKKK !!!!!!!!

how you get balls that big into leathers I shall never know :)

Goes everywhere, does everything, wheels stay put, guards stay put … :)

When I need to get “mucky” … :)

Would the 4500 Tiagra ones fit ??? They look alot more like the 5500
ones than the 5600 versions …

+1 peter’s comment – been doing this for years now :)

there was a spate of BB30 failuers in some models … back to the dealer
and warranty repair. Other than that stick with BB30 :)

have both … i do :)

when the trails have turned to slurry get out the road bike and off
you go. it’s all riding after all :)

ahhhh … Deltics coming in and out of Kings Cross … happy days :)

+1 for Roger’s book ….

Handbuilts are nice (Ambrosio on openpros :) )
Kysrium Elites ?

+1 KMC missing links … got them on shimano, SRAM and KMC chains :D

Horfield …. Oh Sh1te …. shouldn’t be too difficult
to spot that one

I’m in BS7 too – Having looked at your pictures
got a very uncomfortable feeling – especially the first image
… the background buildings are VERY familiar !!!!

Still will keep my eyes open on my travels too.

i normally just use a cotton cycling cap …. sometimes one of those
lycra skull caps when it’s REALLY cold :-)

I’d personally not go down that route …. I’d replace them.
mandp do complete sets for about 50-60 notes.

an alternative that I’ve used in emergencies is to cut up an
old belt to pack out the cush rubber. I’ve used leather belts
twice now :-) Not tried the inner tube idea though.

spanner on the flats and a piece of pipe as a lever ?

I got it rollin’ at last :-)
