It doesn't look like it interfaces with the rubber bush for the lever... But thank you for the effort.🖖 I did cave and get some off the one BEZOS but for bike bits, I always like the RB family first.

Yes, thanks!

Hey Jake, are they non-black? I have black ones which don't look quite right. I know I'm being picky! :D

Mine are aren't Anodised and unfortunately rusted beyond the point where the juice is worth the squeeze. These are the bits I'm after, front and rear are bad, would prefer a coloured ano piece. Doesn't have to be blue. Don't need the whole skewer, just these bushes. If you don't ask etc... Ta

Them wheels never rubbed! It went like a dream. The frame got an annoying click in it which I could never trace so it eventually went for karma here. DK pedals I miss, they went to the US. Someone here has the forks. *it is illegal to ride a bike on the road without two efficient braking...

Love that colour on a Spezzie frame, it was the basis of my old super-commuter.

First time I've ever needed to replace these, the ones I have are siezed and/or perished due to this bike being stored al fresco for some time. FWIW - It's for a 26" wheel and the fork has a mount hosting the existing caliper which I assume is a standard mount size? Anyone got these bits? Ta...

BUMP still looking for a carbon 27.0mm (NOT 27.2mm) post if anyone has one at a reasonable price.

Can you believe this? https://www.brownstoner.com/brooklyn-life/ghost-bike-run-over-by-car-dumbo-jay-street-sands-street-matthew-brenner-crash-vision-zero/ This was the ghost bike for my friend Matt Brenner in NYC, who was killed by a woman in a Tiguan looking at an ipad on the passenger seat...

What's wrong with it? Not enough stuff, right?

Having done it on my Merida hardtail I would say it's deffo possible on a rigid bike, although I didn't do all the technical routes. I heard a lad did it on a rigid SS so 👏👏👏 to that chap. There are some steep climbs back to the trail if you do take the technical options. The town was very quiet...

I'm doing it in a couple of weeks and half thinking about taking the white Bontrager. No suspension. Is that daft or is it more of a day of riding from pint to pint and it doesn't matter? (I hope it's the pints).

Thanks for the reply. Scored a Mordaunt-Short Avant 905i centre for £20 yesterday, although it's of substantial dimension and perhaps warrants its own shelf now, whereas the outgoing Samsung was about the size of a date box and was happy on it's blu-tac feet atop the wall-mounted mancave telly...

@legrandefromage , you got any 100w 8Ω speakers going? Just replacing my mancave AV amp and now the speakers need to be this spec. Need LR, centre, rear LR. If you don't ask, etc... AV amp is Sony STR-DH820 7.2 btw Edit : Got some Mission 731i's for fronts, some Mordaunt Short 902i's for...

Used twice! Then found one of the inflatable beams has a tear in it. I tried to repair it last year using tape (the material of the beam is like a thicker plastic bag) but it still leaked a bit - however - I do think with enough time and patience and Gorilla tape, you could fix it. I am short...
