I think everyone's arse is obviously different but surely there must be similarities?
Ie. another skinny fella with no arse to speak of (like me) and who also rides in a similar
position to me would quite likely have a similar preference in saddles yes? Bit simplistic maybe
but you get what i mean perhaps?

Think i just discovered one of those awful combinations myself! Conti GP 4000 are a bastard
tyre to get on my rims - though i've heard other people say that about Conti tyres generally too. Anyway, in
these situations I've learnt that technique counts for a lot... often you're just coming at it
from the wrong starting point /angle.

RPM my drivetrain today was silent as a dead mute.
yesterday it made some noise though.
my fucking saddle creaks, it drives me insane. I MUST HAVE COMPLETE SILENCE, I only want to hear the tyres on the tarmac and the traffic.

Ha ha - i'm with you on that one - QUIET DOWN THE BACK THERE!
My saddle and my fekkin shoes are squeaking like bastards at the moment.
Cant wait till my new bike's ready!

I have to say i've not tried armadillos yet - but i can recommend schwalbe blizzard sports. (14 quid a pair on ebay etc)

Do at least 120 miles a week all around lewisham. newcross, hackney, old st, town etc and only ever had one puncture on
them - on a tyre that i'd worn down to the belt and should've replaced weeks beforehand.

Perhaps they feel slightly nicer than the armadillos?

aidan southeast....new cross

Hey i'm also in New Cross - let's go on a date.

I'll let you buy me a beer!

rollers... djs... blahhhhhhhhh......

let's fucking race! (Pub & merriment after!)

5 quid in, all proceeds to cystic fibrosis charity
1st and 2nd place riders get glory & drinks bought for them all night by the rest of us.

No?

Ps hi yorgo - i'm the dude you keep bumping into with the matching shoes. (also soon to bin them for
a pair of italians)

Decathalon Black zip up waterproof cycling jacket with reflective bits - £15.00
(Been using it for a year. Does the job.)
Decathalon fatman spunkproof trousers - £7.00
Plastic bags for feets- £0.00
Too tight to pay for gloves.

If you're just getting around London most journeys aren't going to take you longer than 30 minutes anyway.

Spare pair of socks & keks if you are on the way to work in the snow with no mudguards.
(Remember that!?)
Job's a goodun.
Much better than spunking £300 quid on mr fancypants space clobber.

If i was a courier - out all day in freezing wind & rain then yes, i'd think differently and spend some
cash to stay cumfy and dryish.
But for the commute like arup describes? Not a chance!

hippy I like my bike to sound like a tractor.

peg & spoke card time?

I just love a quiet bike. One of the main things that got me into riding fixed
come to think of it.

So anyway, i was inspired by Dexter's recent comment:

"51x20 (Campagnolo C-Record 165 X Phil Wood 20T = 1/8 Silence) Love it!"

Have you got a totally silent drivetrain?
If not call noise stoppers on 0800 STOP-CLICK for totally free no obligation quote today...

Which is quieter Phill or EAI?
Which chain runs quietest with the above?
And what about chainrings? (I have bog standard miche at the mo)

I'm looking for combinations like dexter did above.
Alternatively if you have discovered a noisesome combo let us know as well so i can avoid the hell out of it.
(All combos should be dead straight chainline wise natchurellement!)

Hit me!

Probably wouldn't trust anyof them 100% but a good starting point i suppose...

Hello!

I'm Matt, I live in Peckham.
I'm ridiculously handsome yet still quite friendly.
I fuck through traffic and never use any other form of transport.
Walking feels odd to me.
Had a few fixibeaters, now working on a Pinarello track.
Hope to have a beer with several of you soon.
