You may be required to assume a "bold" riding position. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=20165#post-326743 Fri, 03 Apr 2020 19:10:37 +0000 I were right about that saddle 326743@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>@Roibeard</p> <p>Can't be too many of those beasts in this neighbourhood right enough. Which bike is it on? I do fancy a go and will gladly de-louse any steed I ride. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=20165#post-326742 Fri, 03 Apr 2020 19:07:33 +0000 I were right about that saddle 326742@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I'm having an auditory hallucination of the moment he withdrew the guts from the case and the workshop was sprayed with tiny sprung-loaded components all making that 'cartridge cases on marble' noise from gangster films when the shooting stops after an ambush.</p> <p>Dustpan and brush put round, some bits lost, others gained. Many sweaty nights with tweezers and dental picks before finally biting the bullet and buying a second hand one off Ebay three months later. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=20165#post-326740 Fri, 03 Apr 2020 19:02:26 +0000 Roibeard 326740@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I've probably got your closest Rholoff, so if you wanted to ride it (with appropriate safeguards), drop me a PM.</p> <p>Regards,</p> <p>Robert </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=20165#post-326738 Fri, 03 Apr 2020 18:56:47 +0000 Arellcat 326738@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Famously, a mechanic at Bikefix in London had a Rohloff hub and took it to pieces (out of pure interest, presumably), and it took him three months to put it back together. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=20165#post-326737 Fri, 03 Apr 2020 18:48:06 +0000 I were right about that saddle 326737@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I have just been given a 250 page book on the Rohloff SPEEDHUB gear system by way of thanks for some stuff.</p> <p>Most of it is testimonies from people who have cycled across the Atacama, Himalayas, Skinflats etc but also history and technical stuff.</p> <p>Available for loan once I've read it. </p>
