Just to convince myself I’m not going mad… this is a 26” rim, right? 559mm across where the bead groove is.

Yep, it’s 26” alright. Measured the bead seat diameter across the whee to be 561 (2mm away from the 26” 559BSD). Then got a cat5 cable and measured the bead circumstance at 176.5, did the maths and got 561.8. Close enough. So double-confirmed it’s 26”. Also had a fiddle with the rim tape. To...

Please hold caller… <random workshop noises>

Yeah, deffo 26”. Was way before the whole 27.5 / 650b(c) / 29” mountain bike shenanigans started. Thinking of heading over to my LBS and asking if I can hang out by the bins, trying a bunch of discarded tyres until I find one that fits. Kinda like Cinderella, but tyres.

Fixed. Found a 32.6 clamp from Specialized. Fits. Hopefully that may help someone.

This is driving me nuts. Nothing seems to fit. Looking for some new tyres and having a right mare finding something that fits. All are too tight. Tried: Panaracer FireXCpro (foldable) Onza Porcupine (foldable) Maxxis Minion DHF (steel bead) Schwalbe Billy Bonkers (steel bead) Been changing...

Are these still available? PM sent just in case. 🤞

… t’internet… “The component is the Syncros “STD” (Stress Transfer Device) adapter plate. It is designed to spread out pedaling forces more evenly across the crank arm, reducing the chance of failure in high-stress zones.” Normal service can resume. GLWS!

Not a stupid question at all. I own a set of them and don’t know either. Just kinda thought “Huh, ok, weird design… anyway, next…” I’m interested too.

These are all excellent. Will try tomorrow… 🙏

I just gave it a try with a craft knife but the plastic started to give. Hmmm. Plan B is to try some super-sticky double sided (the thick gel tape) and see if that has enough “stick” to pull it out… please hold caller…

Subject kinda says it. Sending my legs off for powder coating. Ideally need to get the top caps out. I saw @RockiMtn had the idea way back on a Powerlite thread of drilling a small hole in the centre, and I guess I could hook out the top cap via the hole. Then patch up the hole with some plastic...

Ok, trawled the forums and I'm sure you'll already be shouting "31.8!!!", but... Have a '98-ish P7 frame I'm rebuilding with nice stuff. Had components on it, so I have ref. Have a spare / basic 31.8 clamp. Tried to fit it. Nope, too small. So did some looking / measuring. A bunch of the...

@ishaw Thanks, but they’re a bit too scuffed for my build. Hope you find a new home for them though. 👌

Go ooooooon….

Are they in your “possibly for sale” pile? 🙏

The mystical Syncros skewers…

Oooh, interesting. Just awaiting photos of another pair, so don’t want to put you out just yet, but if that falls through, I’m deffo interested. Thanks!

Didn’t even know they existed until earlier today, and now I really needs some. Do you have any in great condition, in black?

Damnit, I have a weird thing for Ritchey pedals. Thought I’d moved on. PM incoming…
