  1. Hi JB, just wondering how whether it is V or disc brake affects the way a wheel is built? Honest curiosity as opposed to sarcastic comment!
  2. On the MTB? Have you seen Jules legs
  3. Probably but not in the correct size for 1.59m .persons ......
  4. ML yip with Presta's, I use the refill bottle that the Joe's kit comes with. Has that nozzle that fits nicely into the valve once the core is removed.
  5. I thought the Nashua ladies rode Bianchi's
  6. http://bicycletutor.com/replace-pedals/ - sorted!
  7. M - I saw it being done here once at Summit cycles so I guess it can be but a bit of a time consuming matter for lots of spokes ......
  8. Removing the valve core is easiest in my opinion but in some (most ghetto type conversions ...) it is not removable and in that case (yes I do have some of these) I do break the bead slightly and refill through the 'gap'. As long as you break the bead as little as possible floorpump infaltion is still possible.

  10. Oi Bob hou op stront praat en PM my oor daai se feeber glas dinges
  11. Sorry Boris I won't do it again ......
  12. I always use a bomb (expensive but effective), trick is to open it full in one go so you get the max pressure initially ..... also good to use one of those inflators that screws onto the valve and not those crappy push on types. In fact done it just last night! Refilling the sealant is pretty easy, I deflate the tyre but keep it off the floor (just hang it from something ...). Remove the core from the valve put some additional sealant in, put the core back and inflate with a floor pump and Bob's (you get the picture ...)
  13. Hey Oiltrash did that work? Just an experience I have had over the past weekend ...... had some squeeling from my rear brake (Avid Juicy 5's) for a while. Used an old trick after finding one of those alcohol pads you get in little square things (I think for cleaning glasses or something), wiped the rotor with that and Bob's your uncle (no I don't want that either ....). Raced with it this past Sunday and it was dead quiet!
  14. Bob's gonna have a heart attack ......
  15. From the folk who gave us a triples...... Ooops busted ....
  16. I think only the crankset and your cycling kit
