Very nice. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=14047#post-174479 Wed, 03 Dec 2014 19:13:05 +0000 gembo 174479@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Note you have to register to attend, otherwise the bouncer Big GED won't let you in. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=14047#post-174421 Wed, 03 Dec 2014 13:21:22 +0000 slowcoach 174421@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Not that I approve of all this Christmassy stuff, I thought this would be a suitable place to share this musical link - <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wilx3f2y4ys">Cycologists do xmas</a>. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=14047#post-174400 Wed, 03 Dec 2014 12:21:34 +0000 Mandopicker101 174400@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Ah...yes...er, well spotted.

I love freebies in what I like to think is an ironic manner. Could just be an eccentric ass manner. I arrive at bike breakfast 7.55 and shout loudly into the courtyard FREEBIES. Love their instructions. Starts at 6.15 but come at 6 or 7 or 8 </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=14047#post-174341 Wed, 03 Dec 2014 00:14:03 +0000 Mandopicker101 174341@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Anyone going along for the freebie nibbles and Yuletide festivities at EBC on Thursday evening? I'm a sucker for a free mince-pie and glass of Chateau Quelle Fromage... </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=3500#post-36584 Thu, 28 Jul 2011 17:19:52 +0000 DaveC 36584@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I'm tempted but in Aberdour there is a retired civil servant guy Dave Seaman, who does bike repairs and service work at a little over the cost of parts. He has a vast catalogue where I've been shown that various makes of kit are exactly the same as their catalogue number match and are sourced from the same factory in Italy/Taiwan. For me it would be interesting but I could go to him and get hi to show me for a fraction of the cost I'm sure. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=3500#post-36577 Thu, 28 Jul 2011 16:20:11 +0000 Roibeard 36577@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I'm thinking of attending - not so much for wheel building purposes, but to practice wheel truing. I've got enough bikes about the place now that being able to true the wheels would be handy.</p> <p>Previously I've just replaced a wheel when the rim wore out - the shop cost of a rebuild wasn't economical given the lower end hubs in use. The current commuter bike has disc brakes, to help avoid this!</p> <p>Robert </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=3500#post-36575 Thu, 28 Jul 2011 16:17:49 +0000 custard 36575@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>but what about building one from scratch? thinks its better to do some research and put the £50 towards parts? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=3500#post-36572 Thu, 28 Jul 2011 16:05:57 +0000 wingpig 36572@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I learnt enough to see that it was relatively dead easy to repair them from reading a few free online things about truing and spoke-replacement. After a few more online articles and a loan of a book I then felt confident enough to build one, though I now slightly distrust online spoke length calculators.</p> <p>Most multi-tools or mini-toolkits will contain a spoke key or equivalent notch in the edge of a spanner. £0.80 buys you a replacement spoke compared to £10 or so to let a shop replace one and re-true a wheel. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=3500#post-36571 Thu, 28 Jul 2011 16:05:19 +0000 steveo 36571@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Keep thinking about it but tbh there is so much info on the web I think a cheap rim, hub and spokes then just getting stuck would be a better use of the money. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=3500#post-36569 Thu, 28 Jul 2011 15:56:24 +0000 custard 36569@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>anyone attended?<br /> worth doing?</p> <p>just thinking it would be handy/money saving to be able to build/repair my own wheels </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=502#post-3793 Wed, 17 Mar 2010 10:58:01 +0000 Kim 3793@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I saw a strange bike a couple of months back and having just googled <a href="http://www.dursley-pedersen.net/">Pedersen</a> I now know what it was. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=502#post-3791 Wed, 17 Mar 2010 10:35:37 +0000 Wilmington's Cow 3791@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I think as cycling gets more popular it's naturally in the commuting side of things that the real growth will be seen, and that internal hub gears will DEFINITELY make a huge comeback. It should maintain the fixed/singlespeed craze as well, for a while at least.</p> <p>There's a Pedersen I saw in Edinburgh a couple of months or so back - now there would be an interesting trend! </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=502#post-3783 Tue, 16 Mar 2010 21:49:56 +0000 wee folding bike 3783@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Yes, I tried a Duomatic on a Moulton a long time ago. The OLN is too big for a Brompton. It would mean no cables going to the back end and that would get round the wear and tear where they bend at the BB when folded.</p> <p>I'm quite impressed by what SA are doing after coming back from the dead and being ignored as part of Raleigh for years.</p> <p>Have you seen the Dursley Pederson in Glasgow Transport museum? It has a non epicyclic hub gear. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=502#post-3782 Tue, 16 Mar 2010 21:33:20 +0000 chdot 3782@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>"There is a FW cutaway here:</p> <p><a href="http://www.users.globalnet.co.uk/~hadland/sa/safw.pdf" rel="nofollow">http://www.users.globalnet.co.uk/~hadland/sa/safw.pdf</a></p> <p>and it looks like planets are engaged with different sun gears.

It took me a while to find as it doesn't look like a pawl but K414 beside it is the spring so I think I have the right part.</p> <p>It looks like the low and high gear planets are one piece, K416. Are they permanently engaged with different annulus rings/sun gear? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=502#post-3779 Tue, 16 Mar 2010 19:59:51 +0000 chdot 3779@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>"I don't know how the sequence of levers works on them.
