Bogs bunch rules amended for this week only - good bikes permitted as its guaranteed dry and eh ... some folks need a shakedown run before going to Spain Remember if you are joining at Bishy hill you really ought to be in the big ring !!

Daughters 30 th birthday this w/e so no show from me. U will have to wait a wee while longer for my next catastrophe

Troops, I'm in the middle of changing my gear cables, they were whipped out a few weeks ago and I can't remember how they entered the downtube. If I route them like the picture below, it looks like the inner cables will have to cross before they go through guide beneath bottom bracket. Does anyone know if this crossing will be a problem?

You will not be expected to wear something like this then...

Gerard, that’s why I’m punishing myself by paying obscene amount of money for this tool ......... can I feel less guilty now :-)

Thirteen years of not using the proper Campagnolo tool! There ought to be some sort of penance for this.

Yeah got it a few weeks ago. Can now get my track tubs up to 220psi without needing an extra pair of hands to help plus it fits in the valve hole on the disc which is something rules out most other lock on pump heads. Got it for half price but still embarrassing with how much that was!

Thanks Iain!........... I think I'm beyond mad .................... wait till you see my "Italian" torque wrench set Man, that pump head looks the biz, it's not a Silca, is it? Have you got one yourself? Cheers

Anyone who knows how much that costs will think you've gone mad Chung I used to think the same of those that had hirame or silca hiro pump adapters, but when something is so well made, works exactly as it should and makes an awkward job easy rather than a pain in the arse then you quickly forget the cost.

Finally, after riding Campagnolo for 13 years (started out with Shimano) I have at last bought their “proper” chain tool :-) It is a thing of beauty, cleverly designed, well made & lovely to use! Why didn’t I buy it earlier? ......... well, the price has a lot to do with it :-/ I suppose any chain tool can break a chain, but it’s the joining process that’s getting more & more delicate as chains gets narrower due to cassette sprocket numbers increases ........ now that 12speed is available & there’s even talk of 13 speed soon too ........... I don’t use “speed-links” or “quick-links” to join my chains, I always use the rivet supplied with the chain. Although I do carry some in my tool bottle in case of emergency out on the road. This tool is especially designed for Campag 11speed chains (but good for other speeds too) as it does the “peening” with absolute ease :-) I find it that it’s actually a pleasure to change chains now when using this tool :-)
