Today I bought, or it got delivered, or I fitted...
Midschoolfool:
Well fingers crossed eh.
I bought some Ti bolts but this time because I found out the bolts the Ti BB I bought for my 700c are no longer available and are an incredibly rare thread type. That's probably why I got a ?380 BB for ?25 lmao.
I've spent nearly a year trying to find out what they are after trying every crank bolt I have. None fitted and no one seems to know.
Then something weird happened. I was tidying up parts I?d chucked down by the side of my armchair at mum's and there it was. Right next to it was a male 14mm bmx axle I had converted to female in the Pork front wheel. You wouldn't effin believe it, threaded straight fookin in there. Do some research, male 14mm BMX axles are m14 with a 1mm pitch. This is mad, as even m14 fine is m14 1.5mm pitch.
Messaged my mate with the lathe and he only has the bloody die?.
Problem is he can't machine like Allen key fittings, so we are going to machine some threaded slugs that screw into the axle and then m8 threads for the Ti bolts I just bought for a fiver.
Bikes eh? Racket. Fookin racket.

Oh and again I want to say a huge thanks to Toby. Wasn't sure about that mambo bag but I now love it. Ditched off my really heavy rucksack and now it will be my bag of choice. Looks much smarter than a back back too.
Put the hat on for the first time and again, super comfortable.
On the way down I let a young lady use the toilet before me. Gorgeous she was. As she came out she thanked me and threw me a wink, and I must admit I did look kinda fly lmao.
So yeah stoked with all of it mate. Gonna bust out the RZs tomorrow and rep the Zombie man himself.
Dig through the ditches and burn through the witches I slam in the back of ma dragulaaaaaaa

Lucky find, at least you're almost sorted, and we do this for fun :LolLolLolLol:
I'm soon going to be searching for a bolt or 2 to use. I have paid for a pair of Crupi mini round pedals for my Cannondale expert. There is a cage bolt missing, no big deal as you can still get those. The other missing bolt is the axle fixing bolt. At least I have the other to match it to. I think I done well on them, looking at the prices on the museum and eBay. I think the cages are replacements as they are not CP stamped. Even if I end up replacing the bearings and hardware, I'll be happy that another decent bit of kit has been sourced for the build.

Cool Andy, I'm glad you're using them and you look the part mate. :slayer:
I on the other hand have done sweet fa with the shed load of your parts. I will get there though fistblump

Oh yeah, I bought a Profile crank set and bb off of Nick, which skinted me. So luckily my good wife financed the Crupi's for me. I'm thinking of putting the crank set on my ratty Haro as they are a rider set. Thoughts please
