Polo Rules

my team mates run gears! will they have to convert to ss in the next three days considering they will be at work all up until friday with their bikes packed in the car on wednesday night??? Its extremely short notice and as much as i agree with this rule it just seems that perhaps a better solution 'just for this tournament' would be to make shin pads a requirement regardless of how many folk will moan about it. Of course we'll try and comply but thats a big setback for some of us!

Hey Clemp!

I think asking every player (180 people) to buy shin pads versus a few players to single speed their bikes seems unfairly weighted but i agree that it is short notice. However, does your team mate have a cassette or a freewheel? If it's a cassette then its really straight forward and if you can get to a bike shop at home, let your host or someone in London know you need some help when you get here. You would just need to remove the unused cogs in the cassette and replace them with spacers. Are you guys playing the Friday or the Saturday group? Let me know of the set up on the bikes and I will do what I can to help!

Cheers, Nik
