There for 11

horatio · 2nd December 2012

Anyone got a half-link or chain tensioner they could bring to today?

TS · 2nd December 2012

Want your old one back?

horatio · 2nd December 2012

Not tug, tensioner. Vertical drop outs.

dublinkevin · 2nd December 2012

I think I have a half link mark. Assume it's for a 1/8 chain?

dublinkevin · 2nd December 2012

But I havent decided yet if I'm coming up to spectate or not.

horatio · 2nd December 2012

Yeah, Kev, that'd be awesome. I'll give you a beer? Sweetening the deal?

horatio · 2nd December 2012

Also,if anyone has one who will be there earlier (so I can play some chaing-tensioned games),that'd be rad, too.

Khornight2 · 2nd December 2012

Should he there for 11.

dublinkevin · 2nd December 2012

Yeah I found it. I'll bring it. No need for a beer.
Wont be there until midday though, realistically. Sorry.

horatio · 2nd December 2012

That's cool, thanks, Kev. I'll see how it plays as is. Tried a magic cog, but didn't have a chain ring the right size (one too small, one too big. Couldn't bear to add links to a slack chain to fit an extra cog).

dublinkevin · 2nd December 2012

If you dont use it give it back to me at some point, its the only one I've got left.

horatio · 2nd December 2012

Oh la la, I'm going to cherish it.

(I'll be using it as soon as you show up! Hopefully...)

dublinkevin · 2nd December 2012

Have you got a chain breaker?

dublinkevin · 2nd December 2012

I dont give my half-links to every boy I see, you know.

horatio · 2nd December 2012

You're making me blush!

(Chain breaker, check!)

Zoe B · 2nd December 2012

Come on down. Got 4

nik · 2nd December 2012

nik · 2nd December 2012

Hm ... they did three events in November, plus Hackney Council also did some bike marking at four events. I haven't received a schedule for December, so not sure. 'Not doing it any more' may perhaps have referred to the November programme being over? I'll ask the Hackney Cycle Task Force.

Hamatt · 3rd December 2012

I think City of London Police might be doing it at Snow Hill Police Station at the moment. They use this https://www.bikeregister.com/.

horatio · 4th December 2012

They did that lorry cab thing in Viccy Park during morning rush hour a couple of weeks ago. Amazingly, they parked it in the middle of the path heading to Approach Road, taking up a large chunk of the path, and the little bit that was left was darted with people trying to get in the truck.

horatio · 4th December 2012

That being said, it's a cool thing to be doing.

nesbit · 4th December 2012

Angry old man.
