MiniSRD (now taller than me) figured out how to set it up. But the cable that should adjust resistance doesn't seem to work. suspect it's just a loose connection or break. Looks like a standard gear cable, but the plastic casing doesn't seem to open - no accessible screws. </p> <p>Any suggestions or ideas? MiniSRD would be just as happy with rollers, so it's not a big deal, but seems like it ought to be fixable? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=21957#post-384640 Mon, 08 Jun 2026 14:52:14 +0000 Arellcat 384640@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I too discovered likewise; 26 x 1 3/4 and 26 x 1 3/8 are not the same as 44-559 and 35-559. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=21957#post-384635 Mon, 08 Jun 2026 12:43:26 +0000 urchaidh 384635@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I discovered (to my cost) that '24 x 1.25' and '24 x 1 1/4' are not the same rim diameter, not even close.</p> <p>ETRO, and <a href="https://www.sheldonbrown.com/tire-sizing.html">Sheldon Brown</a> are your best hope. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=21957#post-384624 Sun, 07 Jun 2026 21:44:02 +0000 chdot 384624@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Are both tyres marked 27 x 1 1/4 and 32-630?</p> <p>And the rim 27 x 1 1/4</p> <p>If so and new one doesn’t fit sounds like manufacturing fault</p> <p>Presume you put tyres next to each other?</p> <p>Some tyre don’t like ‘hookless’ rims</p> <p><a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/2768540909930544/posts/6372936569490942/" rel="nofollow">https://www.facebook.com/groups/2768540909930544/posts/6372936569490942/</a></p> <p>Have you bought Panaracer Pasela or similarly? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=21957#post-384622 Sun, 07 Jun 2026 21:21:05 +0000 Frenchy 384622@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I recently bought a "27 x 1 1/4" rim and a "27 x 1 1/4" tyre.</p> <p>Unfortunately the tyre appears to be too big for the rim.</p> <p>I find tyre/rim/wheel sizes to be a confusing minefield. Can anyone confirm the easiest way for me to check whether my rim or my tyre (or both), is the wrong size? </p> <p>Am I right that the (inner) diameter of the tyre should be 630 mm?</p> <p>I've managed to put the old tyre on the new rim, so I'm fairly sure that the new tyre is the culprit, but I'd like to be absolutely sure before returning it to the seller. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=21942#post-384430 Mon, 25 May 2026 00:39:29 +0000 bakky 384430@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>The <a href="https://pedalonparliament.org/resources/">resources page</a> is now updated with home-printable low-ink posters and single-sided handlebar flyers...</p> <p><a href="https://freeimage.host/i/CJ75ikg"><img src="https://iili.io/CJ75ikg.md.jpg"></a></p> <p>This dry weather spell is the time to do some chalking...</p> <p><a href="https://freeimage.host/i/CJ75621"><img src="https://iili.io/CJ75621.md.jpg"></a></p> <p>If anyone is keen to pick up laminated A4 posters for outdoor / cycle-route postering, with provided cable ties, or even some chalk, contact <code><a href="mailto:hello@edi.bike">hello@edi.bike</a></code></p> <p><a href="https://freeimage.host/i/CJ75PYF"><img src="https://iili.io/CJ75PYF.md.jpg"></a> </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=21936#post-384394 Thu, 21 May 2026 17:35:28 +0000 chdot 384394@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Now official </p> <p>“<br /> Stephen Flynn has 1 parliamentary and government role<br /> Cabinet Secretary for Economy, Tourism and Transport<br /> Scottish Government</p> <p> Find out more about the Cabinet and Ministers at the Scottish Government website.</p> <p>“</p> <p>More at -</p> <p><a href="https://www.gov.scot/about/who-runs-government/cabinet-and-ministers/" rel="nofollow">https://www.gov.scot/about/who-runs-government/cabinet-and-ministers/</a> </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=21936#post-384389 Thu, 21 May 2026 14:27:10 +0000 chdot 384389@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>“<br /> (designate) </p> <p>“</p> <p><a href="https://www.gov.scot/about/who-runs-government/cabinet-and-ministers/cabinet-secretary-for-economy-tourism-and-transport/" rel="nofollow">https://www.gov.scot/about/who-runs-government/cabinet-and-ministers/cabinet-secretary-for-economy-tourism-and-transport/</a> </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=21936#post-384386 Thu, 21 May 2026 12:53:00 +0000 chdot 384386@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Aha</p> <p>Ta</p> <p>Early updates post election were done quickly </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=21936#post-384385 Thu, 21 May 2026 12:03:03 +0000 Morningsider 384385@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>@chdot - techncially correct, as Stephen Flynn only becomes Cabinet Secretary when approved by the Scottish Parliament and (I think) the King. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=21936#post-384380 Thu, 21 May 2026 10:02:10 +0000 chdot 384380@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>SP website was quick to update with new MSPs and details</p> <p>So far</p> <p>“</p> <p>Stephen Flynn does not have any parliamentary or government roles </p> <p>“</p> <p><a href="https://www.parliament.scot/msps/current-and-previous-msps/stephen-flynn" rel="nofollow">https://www.parliament.scot/msps/current-and-previous-msps/stephen-flynn</a> </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=21936#post-384378 Thu, 21 May 2026 09:50:44 +0000 chdot 384378@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>“</p> <p>The Cabinet Secretary is supported by the Minister for Business and Employment, Richard Lochhead. </p> <p>“</p> <p><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cabinet_Secretary_for_Economy,_Transport_and_Tourism" rel="nofollow">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cabinet_Secretary_for_Economy,_Transport_and_Tourism</a> </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=21936#post-384373 Wed, 20 May 2026 22:19:01 +0000 chdot 384373@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>“</p> <p>Meanwhile, Stephen Flynn, the former SNP Westminster leader who made the switch to Holyrood at the election earlier this month, was appointed Cabinet Secretary for Economy, Tourism and Transport.

I'm in at Laid Back for a tyre change and service tomorrow morning so will leave with Joe; but let me know if a pick-up at CodeBase is useful to you either today before 14:45 or tomorrow between 11:15 and 15:00, otherwise I could leave some bundles for you at Laid Back?</p> <p>We have bundles of 50 x A5 flyers, A4 laminated posters for strategic outdoor placement, and A3 posters for key community centres and bike shops. Let me know how many of each you'd like to take and I'll sort it! </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=21934#post-384351 Tue, 19 May 2026 12:53:37 +0000 SRD 384351@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Is it possible to get some flyers etc without committing to a full round? </p> <p>I'd like to distribute some at work. </p> <p>I could also take some to Laidback bikes, and to the other fountain bridge shops, but can't offer to take them to the wild west (hart's). </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=21936#post-384346 Mon, 18 May 2026 16:03:53 +0000 Morningsider 384346@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I don't think any of the parties have announced their spokespeople yet.
