    Don't so stupid. Nick's doing an endo. It's not his fault that only very specialist photographic equipment can pick him up.

    Nick, I'm taking this is no longer going to be a "spare parts" bike then? :shock:
    Oh, and what's the deal with the split lever Seatclamp, does each lever give it progressively more pressure? I've not heard of them before.

    that much!

    I like the copper anti friction washer and the tab to cover the slot in the seat tube.

    and both levers do the same job and i fel they should be used together.

    Looks good though.

    and yes the Spare parts bike is becoming a None Spare parts bike.

    nicklouse Posts: 50,675
    removing the XT kit took it down to 11Kgish.

    Which surprised me.

    How is the ride affected by the hammerschmidt is it a simple case of giving more clearance? being enclosed to avoid damage or is there an actual benefit to the riding motion?

    depends on the bike.

    the main thing is a constant chain line and height from the BB which can help in a Fully set up.

    otherwise it would be better if the big cog was the direct drive and the little one was a step down. rather than a direct drive on the small and an over drive on the big "gear".

    but the blub is the chain retention and clearance.

    Teeth i was a bit surprised as well.

    What BB do you need, Nick?
  • nicklouse
    nicklouse Posts: 50,675
    the correct Hammershmidt one that is now on the way FOC from Danmark.

    the FR cranks have 12mm bolts and the AM have 15mm bolts and the lock/extraction rings were not coming out. the supplier had both BB labelled up the same and the parts list did not mention the part numbers...... well i had a 50% chance :wink:
