But apart from that everything seemed to work and my biggest worry - the back wheel not clamping in tight enough and the chain slackening off - didn't happen, even grinding up the hill. The dropped bullhorns gave a lot of new hand positions to try out and I found them great for slowly winding up the hill out of the saddle.</p> <p>With thanks to chdot for parting with the frame and recombodna for swapping me the bars and to smudge for the excellent advice on using beer cans as shims. </p> <p>Oh and I've just realised that (the headbadge and decals aside) no (new) bits were bought off the internet for this bike! Thebicycleworks, Veloecosse, EBC and Bicyclerepairman did the necessary. Thebikechain may yet flog me a blue Brooks to join the part. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=2702#post-30045 Tue, 26 Apr 2011 21:35:08 +0000 kaputnik 30045@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Figured the pins were soft enough to bend, so popped them through the holes in the head tube and bent them around by tapping down with my trusty rubber mallet and a wooden spoon. Headbadge mounted. Wooden spoon broken :( </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=2702#post-28776 Thu, 07 Apr 2011 15:29:48 +0000 recombodna 28776@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>You could drill out the pins and pop rivet the badge on. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=2702#post-28771 Thu, 07 Apr 2011 14:26:05 +0000 steveo 28771@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Epoxy in the holes? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=2702#post-28751 Thu, 07 Apr 2011 11:16:59 +0000 kaputnik 28751@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Quick question.</p> <p>Does anyone have experience of mounting a headbadge onto a frame? I've got the correct headbadge for the spacing of the holes drilled in the frame.</p> <p>Headbadge has 2 thin metal pins about 7mm long.</p> <p>Should I just bend the pins around inside the headtube or do I need to get them properly rivetted? (can't see how you could do this given lack of space, can't get a hammer down inside the tube.) </p>
