Yeah meant that... was thinking about getting a coloured chain so finding the joins would be easy... does anyone else exactually do this? (the messing with a chain before/after playing... not latex gloves or mlticloroured chain)

some do but you don't wanna be fucking about putting your chain back on once the lights have gone off. Just drop a tooth and be done with it. I think you should worry more about learning to play polo consistently than tweaking your gear inches so perfectly.

Good advice... trouble is, I'm broke. So can discuss the ideas of getting hub/gears, but not actually get them!

This whole gear ratio doesn't take into account wheels or crank length... gabes is it possible you've got shorter cranks and bigger wheels than everyone else?

I ride 42/22, and am thinking about dropping to 30/22.

Hops · 13th January 2009

I'll be trying out 39:21 instead of 46:22 tomorrow night.

THANKS OTTERS :)

GrowUp · 14th January 2009

Yes, at 7pm.
Have you got the balls?
What gearing do I need skoota?

Khornight2 · 14th January 2009

Can someone bring a spare mallet for me to borrow?

Might nip off to the rolla's for a quick race at some point though... not feeling particularly fast today though...

dt · 14th January 2009

i've got a ball, but no spare mallet - i'll get aidan to grab one from my place on his way down

dt · 14th January 2009

GrowUp - ideal gearing is around 45gear inches, just get as close to that as you can

GrowUp · 14th January 2009

Thanks DT, was wanting a calm and measured response from the ever patient Mr Skoota.

Hops · 14th January 2009

I'm really looking forward to tonight... I lowered my gear last night to 50. Dave lowered his to 44...It was a slow ride in today :)

the only response you'll get from him is a gay one...probably about ice skating.
