Was intending to get the frame blasted and re-painted this winter but due to change of job and impending house move it is going to have to wait a little longer for the funds to become available. Don't want to have it off the road during the summer based on how much I enjoy riding it so pencilling in October now... </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=9371#post-98515 Wed, 30 Jan 2013 17:54:04 +0000 DaveC 98515@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Cheers Martin, I called Spar and asked and indeed a JP400 was what they suggested. I think I'm going to continue using my Cotic in Summer mode for Audaxing once I have the triple on. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=9371#post-98504 Wed, 30 Jan 2013 15:51:35 +0000 recombodna 98504@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>lovely old pug. massive frame. shame about the rust. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=9371#post-98502 Wed, 30 Jan 2013 15:18:36 +0000 Bhachgen 98502@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>My 1979 Peugeot is still running the original Stronglight chainset:</p> <p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/tarr3n/7602389628/" rel="nofollow">http://www.flickr.com/photos/tarr3n/7602389628/</a> </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=9371#post-98498 Wed, 30 Jan 2013 14:25:23 +0000 Cyclops 98498@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Looking at Spa's website I assume it's the Impact Triple you're buying? Stronglight have moved over to JIS standard for their square taper BB's.</p> <p>In which case you need any JIS bottom bracket - if you want Stronglight buy one of the JP400 ones. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=9371#post-98468 Wed, 30 Jan 2013 11:26:50 +0000 Claggy Cog 98468@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>@recombodna, you're right...width = diameter. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=9371#post-98461 Wed, 30 Jan 2013 10:39:18 +0000 recombodna 98461@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>by width surely you mean diameter and not circumference? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=9371#post-98458 Wed, 30 Jan 2013 08:09:07 +0000 gembo 98458@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I managed to buckle a Stronglight big cog quite noticeably (50t) and a Stronglight middle cog very slightly (39t).</p> <p>Not sure what I did. Also, I had the triple replaced and always wondered why Mr Freewheelin went for a generic cog on the granny instead of all Stronglight. Maybe the bottom bracket was a factor?</p> <p>Matt from JustBikes replaced Stronglight with Stronglight. Despite me buckling them, they are good. I am just very rough on components </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=9371#post-98456 Wed, 30 Jan 2013 00:06:09 +0000 Claggy Cog 98456@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Dave I can answer one bit, and that the sizes for the Tiagra changer do indeed denote tube circumference, or rather width. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=9371#post-98455 Tue, 29 Jan 2013 23:44:28 +0000 DaveC 98455@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Hi.</p> <p>I'm considering new chainring my front chainset and understand Stronglight last (very nearly) a lifetime. Spar Cycles has a triple for £59 - triple Stronglight. I have been told that the Bottom Bracket is not standard and I did find Stronglight Bottom Brackets along with Chainsets at Spar Cycles online. </p> <p>Anyone know if any Stronglight bb fits their range of Chainsets up front please?</p> <p>I just had a new BB fitted last weekend (bally typical) but I may still pursue a Stronglight 'set' for the front of the cotic. I'm looking at replacing the Sora double with a Stronglight Triple and guess I'll need a new deraileur up front. There are two choices for Tiagra 28.6-31.9??mm and 34.8mm. Can I assume this is the tube width? (I need clamp type not braise on type.) Cheers.</p> <p>Dave C </p>
