I've found a couple of fairly good install guides now so will give it a go tomorrow. What about bar angle? Personal preference? Parallel to the ground for racing, slightly raised upwards for cruising- although I hardly ever go to drops when cruising.

Hannah, your roadie looks good- women do seem to have a shorter top tube though, but you could get a short stem and add some stackers to make a higher front end. Looks like you've already done the stem bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skoze Posted December 24, 2011 Report Share Posted December 24, 2011 (edited) My roadie; Ex-Gan team, did the Tour in 1995 and is generally awesome. I love it, rides like nothing else and is properly rapido. Edited December 24, 2011 by Skoze Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skoze Posted December 24, 2011 Report Share Posted December 24, 2011 The front wheel does it no favours, needs a nice deep-dish carbon number on there. It's f**k-ugly in a kinda function over form way, but it definitely did what it was designed for haha!

weirdoku Posted December 25, 2011 Report Share Posted December 25, 2011 What's the weight of it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skoze Posted December 25, 2011 Report Share Posted December 25, 2011 (edited) Never actually weighed it! Will do soon, just for you. It's not crazy light, just aero-tastic. I've got a disc wheel for it too, but it's pretty suicidal if there's more than a 5mph breeze. Edited December 25, 2011 by Skoze Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carlperkins Posted December 27, 2011 Report Share Posted December 27, 2011 Hey roadies! Im looking for a road bike to do long distance biking on etc. Has anyone got any road bikes they would want to swap for a mod trials bike or just sell? Can you pm me if you do, thank you in advance!

haydon_peter Posted February 6, 2012 Report Share Posted February 6, 2012 Yeah, we will never know the truth. I just think it is extremely shit to delay something for so long before implementing a ban. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeyseemonkeydo Posted February 6, 2012 Report Share Posted February 6, 2012 I want to know if he has to repay all the winnings, sponsorship and stuff that he's gained through cheating his way to the Tour win in 2010. Cancellara is another fanny I wouldn't trust as far as I could throw him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crashbanggg Posted February 11, 2012 Report Share Posted February 11, 2012 Before I go dismantling things and going wrong, would I be able to simply remove the freewheel cassette thing (+ shifters / mech/ shorten chain) and replace it with an old Tensile 60 click to make my old road bike single speed?

But if it's a proper old school screw on cassette/freewheel would it work? Can only assume that they both use the weird 1.37" x 24 tpi thread size...

I shoved a gusset screw on cog onto my 1970's raleigh fixamajig standard rear hub. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
