Fascinating stuff. Definitely outside of the box, or the shell!

I like your thinking. Havnt got any spare. Might be too thick tho. It's a fine tolerance between shell, cup and axle.

I'm just about to fit a TA bottom bracket. They are not sealed units, as you all know, I'm sure. To prevent ingress from inside the frame, does anyone have a DIY fix for a sheath? There are Tioga ones on Ebay (not cheap).

I asked this elsewhere but it got swamped by other stuff: How can I share my L and R forward speakers (Leak 250s) between my surround av amp and my completely separate turntable amp?

Hope he doesn't mind me telling you this, but with his older frames, he would use Letraset to decal his name on the frames. Easily done and with a quick lacquer your done!

I've just bought a pair of Leak 250's (the old ones not the 2k new ones!). I have a surround amp running my AV, but I want to ad an amp dedicated to the Leaks for my turntable. The Leaks will replace my left & right front channel speakers on the AV. Can anyone suggest a splitter box or some...

Yes, you're spot on. Are you parting with any of them?

Steve helped me a lot last year, cutting a thread on my forks to go on my Ciöcc. I'm sure he'll point you in the right direction.

My fhb looks a little different...

Yep 135mm. Both frames. (Roberts and a Merlin)

That's a boss reply. The Microshift cassette deffo needs a spacer. I've recently rebuilt a Mavic 577 hub, and that has oodles of clearance between the cassette side axle nut and the dropouts. The non drive side of these wheels is radially spiked, which requires a long spacer between the axle...

I have a pair of Mavic Crossland wheels. Rim brake. The rear is 135mm. I have fitted an 8 speed Microshift cassette with a Mavic locking nut. There was a little play, so I fitted a 1.6mm shim. Upon fitting the wheel to 2 separate 135mm rear frames, the cassette binds horribly upon tightening...

The awkward sized ones. Any in Good condition?

Specialities TA chainset restored, new rings and loctited...

Can I join the queue if the others dont need it?

OK, scored a NOS TA BB axle and cups from auction site. It's a 123.5mm which is specific for the Cyclotouriste tripple chainset. I have a spare 118 old Shimano just in case, but I'm pretty sure the TA axle will be the correct width. Thanks to all above who helped. I must say, the TA stuff is...

I got this very useful info from a man who knows a thing or two about the TA's: The standards for BBs for these chainsets are usually cited as 111-114mm for doubles, 118mm for triples and 123mm for tandems. When I set mine up (usually triples) on classic 700c/27" road frames, I start with a...

Heres a few pics

Sheldon gives me 133.5mm width for a TA Cyclotouriste MTB tripple. That to me seems MASSIVE for the bike?!?!

None.
