  Ha!

  I rode home to Brighton fixed after Kingspin 1 – met a friend on Blackfriars at midnight. Good times.

  Fight the good fight @Rapsac!

  Hi @Velocio.. Can you restore my old username to me please?? It's @maxl – I haven't logged in for ages and ages and the recovery goes to a defunct email address (…@breathe.com). Thanks :-)

• Belt drive bike frame

  in Bikes & Bits • 5 years, 3 months

  

  Hi there. A belt-drive frame needs to have a breakable chainstay, seat stay or rear dropout, since the belt is a single piece and cannot be broken like a chain. So I think retrofitting is possibly out of the question. Haven't see them sold as frame-only. Best bet might be to commission a framebuilder to make you one, or buy an off-the-peg complete bike and customise it… Hope that helps

  Either way I wont be using my bike, bikes will be supplied for us at the event so I dont need to worry about set up, but that was another thing, if my training bike is set up one way and the bike I use is slightly different wont that be detrimental to me?

  If it's not even your bike, then it throws it all into the imponderables. You need to get out there on what you have, and then make sure you get the bike set-up as well as possible when you're there.

  How long is the whole ride?
