Like to see the finished article Matt, i like those llewellyn frames, such fine lug work. Their stems are works of art

They've served as inspiration and I have similar goals... it just takes longer.

The stem lugs are a bit of an annoyance because of the shaping and cut outs... hearts... yuk! I need two plain points (not four) with no cut-outs to do my own thing... stylised Mars and Venus symbols. It's the same with BB shells and fork crowns which are rare enough for straight Max fork blades. I end up doing a lot of filling and filing before I can do anything with them.

Guys I need some advice and help.

I've been messing about with the new toy and the cassette is making some awful noises. When you spin the crank slowly you can see that the chain is running fine but there's one tooth on each turn that the chain is sitting proud to start off with then falling noisily into place. It's doing it on every gear.

How do I sort this?

Pictures? Stiff link or a cassette that hasn't been fitted properly are the first thing that springs to mind.

I can try and post a video might take me a while to get it on YouTube.

Thanks for the advice Mav. I know it probably didn't seem like much but it helped as always.

Always something simple mate, its difficult to diagnose what it might be over the internet.

its not a problem, keeps my old brain ticking over

no no no.. if there's anyway that stats and figures can be cherry picked to justify a purchase... it must be done! : )

Still going on that?

The proof on the rotational stuff is in year 11/12 (A-level?) physics text books btw, it's not even a more advanced university level subject...

You're the one who brought the subject up... I responded. If there is something I'm missing that could actually further the discussion in a positive direction, please do tell.















Let's see how the emoticons work... not well I'd bet!

I'd second checking the cassette. Mine seem to work their way slightly loose over time on all bikes I've had. Even though I do them up to *ridiculous NM torques settings as specified.
