Relax, we'll benefit from the exports.

I agree with you, steynja. When it comes to spare parts and bike service they suck big time. Here are some of my experiences: - They didn't have the tool to remove the freewheel, therefore they wouldn't be able to service my bike. They turned me away. - They didn't stock bearings, they refered me to Cajees It is really a very overrated and overpriced shop.

Thanks, Joe Low. Nice to know alternative places to cycle

You need a special octalink crank extractor. It's got a round interface that pushes against the sides of the hollowed spindle.

I found this on Wikipedia. The weight is considerably more: The weight can be compared with a high quality derailleur system (Shimano XT): Speedhub 500/14 CC-OEMHigh quality derailleur system Gear hub: Twist shifter: Shifter cables attachment: Total weight: 1,715 g 118 g 14 g 1,847 g Rear derailleur: Front derailleur: Crank wheels: Cassette: Rear hub: Crank wheels: Additional chain weight: Additional spokes weight: Total weight: 230 g 130 g 250 g 260 g 370 g 62 g 30 g 25 g 1,357 g The Speedhub weighs about 0.5 kg more. A new version (currently in development, with testing due to begin in 2009) will weigh 1400g, be 20% smaller and have a larger overall ratio of 580%.

Nope electric shifting and auto shifters Are they taking away the fun of shifting?

Disc brakes on bicycles. What's next? Power steering?

To be fair' date=' Nancy's tyre problems were my fault. The valve was not tight, so I presumed it was the fault for the tyre going flat [/quote'] Ok, as a punishment we'll bring a 20kg baby doll for your empty passenger seat

Things to bring for the next dump ride: - Reinforced steel tyres for Nancy Drew - BMX helmut for Wonder Woman - Camera batteries for mtbking Things NOT to bring for the next dump ride: - CO2 cartriges (we want holly roller to kick the habit)

Likewise, HR, looking forward for the next dump/ride

Yes, I must say it was great fun. It was very nice to meet some of you and sorry I couldn't stay for the drinks, but next time I'm in!

I'm coming to the dump/ride

Shamus - you say "almost everything you need" what's missing ?? The mechanic I know! A calendar with a bikini-clad chick!

Well done and well deserved! You guys made us proud!

Sorry. RC, I was only reusing material from the "It only happens in the FS" thread. My apologies for the inconvenience caused. I'm prepared to undo all my wrongdoings by inviting you a cup of coffee.

Ooops... I'm in trouble now. I was only joking
