probably a lost cause.

Don't jigger your frame up - work with extreme caution.

Clip on mudguards are an option.

Cheers, that was just the type of thing I have been looking for.

Careful … might not be a veersion for for UK/left side driving.

I like the idea of them, but do they work?

I most like the idea of a helmet-mounted RVM.

Anyone successfully using one?

Thanks folks.

Various ways to help reduce chance of getting wheels nicked … One is to put your main lock through both frame and rear wheel, but them to run an ancillary wire loop off the main lock and through the front wheel. Or just remove your front wheel every time you lock your bike and run your main lock thr...

Design aside, I am failing to see the logic of such a part.

You get saddle setback from a combination of the seatpost and the saddle rails. If from those two things you can't get enough, well then the frame is probably way too small. No?

A lot of rubbing and then you have to do something about it in terms of re-positioning the foot.

But, and as we all known, you get rubbing with even the most well set-up arrangement, especially in the case of heel-in cyclists like myself.

Start a new thread by posting a side-on picture of you on your bike, with hands on hoods, and we will comment on your fit ... but it might make uncomfortable reading.

I think you've answered the question yourself ...

Problems like this are usually attributable to poor bike fit rather than a 'bad' saddle. The bike is possibly too big for you.

Spoken to Spa, turns out you apply the whole sticker then leave for twenty minutes. When you peel off, the decal remained. Worked pretty well, just needed to give a further press down. In some ways, I think it would have been better applied before the final lacquer at the paintshop. Reynolds decals...

Thanks for the posts, popped off an email to the supplier to see what they think and said they would look into it but it sounds within tolerance. I can realign it by moving axle down a bit in open non threaded dropout and will look into building up the dropout with some jbweld maybe. This is litera...

State what crankset ...

I thought I had one jammed once until I realized that the cable end cap on the end of the cable was preventing pull through.

Some framebuilders bend fork legs themselves, but only as a tube/unbuilt.

Not sure a built pair of forks could be bent without removing dropouts. |Crown may even foul the process.

There must be a way of realigning TA dropouts because how did the fork get built in the first place?

Just a reminder,we are discussing a sub 2mm out of track fork that is the sort of size of error that needs correction, and that good framebuilders don't let out of their workshop. Dropout alignment gauges can be used to align regular/QR dropouts, but they must also have a way of aligning TA fork/fr...
