Oh sure, I can do it on a lathe. I have done it on a lathe. I just don't *like* to do it on a lathe. It's hard because the fork legs are super long and they twirl around and I think that's dangerous....

It isn't so hard! All you need is a die and a die holder. And you don't need a bike-specific die either. You can buy one on ebay that will do the job: 1" x 24tpi. The die and die handle together cost...

You are right. Although the tires' sizes (being radials) are designated 16" like car tires (R16), they are mounted on 20" bike wheels (ETRTO 406). So I guess I actually need a Raleigh twenty or...

Long shot, but...

Has anybody got a 16" wheel folding bike I could borrow to test-ride in the Boston area? Like a Brompton or a Dahon, I guess? I have some weird prototype 45/75 R16 radial tires that an engineer on...

My most durable rims for your most lightweight 650b rims

I have a bunch of Ambrosio Keba "confreriale" 650b rims, with double eyelets and 36 holes, which I bought for touring. They're unobtainium now, and really nice. I've recently turned into a weight...

It's like using a die but with a lot more oil involved. I've "extended" plenty of spoke threads with mine, when I need spokes just to be a few mm shorter.

The question I have for you is, are the...

My 175 tandem cranks for your shorter

Here are some pictures of the aforementioned tandem cranksets I would like to trade for shorter ones. I just can't keep riding 175s, my knees won't let me, so I need to trade these for something...

WTT: 175 tandem crankset for 170 or 165 tandem crankset

I have two 175 tandem cranksets and they're both too long for me. Both are 110-74. One's a TA Zephyr (this will have a 58 bolt circle as well as the 74, allowing a 20t granny), and one's a...

Ah I know what you mean. Well there's no better time to get into Suntour cog futures than now, I guess. I'm meaning to make an "ultra-5" (five speeds in the place of four) franken-freewheel for the...

Hi MH,

This is a long shot, but what is the freewheel on that Maillard hub? Is it a Suntour? And if so, is it French threaded? Normally the Suntour freewheels that are French threaded have...

ISO a Brooks B72 in halfway decent condition, or a re-cover. Do they not make them anymore?? The leather of the one on my tandem just gave up the ghost, right after my stoker commented on it being a...
