Glad I could help with the donation. Looks like a nice spec, students these days get way to many loans

I disagree. I personally had to have two jobs (one before lectures began, the other in and around free time) because the maximum loan per year I could apply for was £300 less than my accommodation per year. JUST accommodation. I still needed food/living money on top of that.

...And it wasn't particularly expensive accommodation.

Some people do manage to get the best out of the system though. I guess my parents make just the wrong amount of money :P

Can I ask why you're running a plate in stead of a ring? I can't see any advantages to a plate, and am constantly baffled as to why they're even around any more - much less on the super high end frames.

If they are 160/165mm try all cranks, they have so little thread on them, its dodgy as f**k to run a bashring

Yeah that's the reason bashplates still exist imo, I ran the cranks Jack has for around 4 months with an adamant bashring and around 4 threads for the freewheel to go on and it was fine. But that may have just been luck. I really think they should put more thread on shorter cranks, I don't see any disadvantages that would come from it.

i say luck, i would have stripped that in one ride :P

i 100% agree with you regarding cranks should have more threads, thats why i love the new trialtechs! theres no downside to having more threads, imo all cranks should be designed to have enough threads for the full width of the freewheel and a bashring.

Sorry to hear that, should have milked your parents a bit more. It was only a joke though

Hahah I wasn't really doing anything big back then which was probably why I got away with it.

Yeah they do, I wonder how much thread you'll have on the 165mm crank for a freewheel after putting a bashring on it...
