I’ll measure my tubes
What’s the frame? Can you measure the OD of the ST and calculate what the wall thickness will be after removing 0.1 mm from it? I bought a cheap adjustable reamer and just took my time with it after determining the tube had enough beef.

ShartQ: a Berthoud Soulor has come up for sale locally. How do these compare to a B17 narrow? The Soulor is apparently slightly narrower, just wondering if anyone has used both and can comment.
it’s shaped differently too
like a Brooks Swift but with thicker leather
the normal width Berthoud is more like an old Brooks Professional

Hmm. Okay. It’s cheap enough that it might be worth a punt…
In marketplace now.

Alright you bike wizards, what’s the best decaleur? Need something cheapish, lightish, and available and able to work with a 90mm normie stem and some 1.25" bars.
I’m leaning towards a vo setup but it’s 80mm long and I don’t really wanna throw spacers on it

Moved to dickaleur thrad:
My Bryton Rider 330 gps doodad no longer holds a charge. It dies before I complete my 7 mile commute after sitting on the charger all night. What should I replace it with?/ Is the Garmin Edge 130 Plus garbage? does anyone have experience with it?
I really like my Wahoo Element Bolt. I’ll get another when it poops on the floor.
I don’t know how it compares to the Bryson doodad tho
That thing looks like way more computer than I need. I just need to be able to look down and see my speed and track my mileage.
Maybe try a basic lezyne? MACRO EASY GPS BIKE COMPUTER – Lezyne
My experience is that the lezyne UI is pretty bad, but the price is right.
I’ve got a lezyne from a few years back and it’s fine. I wouldn’t necessarily recommend one in TYOOL 2021 but Garmin has some real shit computers too. I’d just get whatever you can get on sale and yolo.

xpost ShartQ: I know this isn’t the thread, but what kind of tires can I run on hookless rims? Do they need to be specific or just tubeless or what?
Are you adverse to a wheel magnet? Cateye still makes old school computers without GPS. They have the Quick, which is about as simple as you can get and it runs on a coin battery.
These don’t like to work with dynamo hubs fwiw
Is it the fucking magnets or the electromagnetic interference thrown from the generator?

I think it’s the interference. Same with the planet bike flashing lights
Oh I have another OG bolt to post for sale in addition to the color one that’s up in the marketplace
Cateye Strada slim wireless is my favourite computer. I never had any problems with my dynamo hub interfering with it.
