Bump.
Anyone about on Friday? I may be able to have a rare trip into town.
Posted 10 years ago # -
I think I could manage this Friday.

could do but have to be back in wester hailes for9.30. That is doable along canal. So tentative yes dependent on weather for double commuting time.

I may come. If I do come, I may bring a big box of cheap pavement chalk that I got immediately after PoP last year.

I am sadly in London so shall drink a expensive coffee while dressed in my most hipsterish garb, before heading to my meeting on a boris bike. I'll think of you while trying my uptmost to not get squished by some tipper truck.

I have a call at 9 so might work from home, in which case I could hang around until about 840 or something.
Posted 10 years ago # -
Not sure I will make this after all. Struggling with another chest infection and 7 types of medecine :(
Posted 10 years ago # -
No early call, but can still hang on until 840ish. Been a while since I've made it to bun club.

Meh, I slept in a wee bit and since a tolerable ride at 7.15 has pretty much become a white knuckle death route by 7.30 I decided to opt out. Next time!

Nice to meet a couple of people at the tail end of the PY late shift - hope the exploding Helios wheel got sorted out!

Good to chat this morning.
Niall - thanks for the loan of the pump - I've left it with Laid back as I assume that would be easy for it to get back to you.
Laidback - thanks for the loan of the wheel - made it safely would work if a bit late...
The reason for this scenanigans...
Heading away from PY I got to the blood transfusion place when my front wheel went funny. The studded tyre had come off the rim but not burst the tube - hence a walk back to PY for some solidarity in adversity.
Potentially the beading got stretched when the mechanic was putting the tyre back on - got it back last night.

Cheers, HankChief - that'll work a treat.

Potentially the beading got stretched
Is this even possible with a wire bead? (I do not think they do studdlies with aramid folding beads) Is it not more likely that the hook on the rim has been damaged/bent with, for instance, over-exuberance with a steel tyre lever?

Exhibit A was taken round to forensics at the Bicycle Works.
Looked at it and reckons it's a combo of having a 1.75 tube used on the narrower 1.5 tyre along with not being seated and the tube not distributed evenly. We got it on evenly again. I can put narrower inner in and keep the wider one for the Big Apple. He doesn't think tyre is damaged. Schwalbe can stand a bit.Let me know whether you want it sorted and can swap wheel back onto our Helios.
NiallA - pump at shop when you next drop in.
Posted 10 years ago # -
Thanks Laidback.
If it could be sorted with an appropriate tube that would be great.
I can pop into town tomorrow afternoon to swap wheels back assuming you'll be in the shop.
