Maybes. What spec / price?

So I went to the police station last night and they said (after three hours of waiting) that they couldn’t do anything as wasn’t in their borough (despite being the only station open). Then go in to the borough it happened in this morning and they essentially told me to fuck off and that they won’t DNA test the bits of sweet I collected off my face and jacket and bike as it’s not a rape or murder.

Asked if I could get it independently tested would that help, and he said wouldn’t prove a thing as I could have collected his spit off the floor.

So without witnesses (this happened on the move going through Bank junction so no way I could have found anyone) I’m stuck.

I’ll report it nonetheless and maybe get in touch with the black cab licence guys, but feels pretty pointless.

Pretty horrible that these guys can go round spitting at people with total impunity.

Thanks guys that’s helpful. I cleaned myself up a bit but wiped some of the globules on the pavement where I locked my bike so I’ll see if any there to DNA him. Probably a long shot but worth it.

I don’t understand how people this angry make it through the day, I think I’d have a stroke by 3pm if I operated at that level!

Just got spat at twice by this guy at Bank junction. All I did was pull in front of him in the usual bike box (while he was at a red) then hold him up for two seconds (literally) while I waited to turn right. Then got the whole hard man ‘I’m going to floor you’ routine when I stopped to take a pic. Any way of reporting these guys or obtaining footage? Never seen someone so angry over so little and me and my bike were covered in whatever sticky sweet he was chewing which was fucking grim.

PM’d re. set no. 2!

Cheers!

I might be shit at headsets but I’m not that shit!

Can you fit a 1-1/8 - 1-1/2 tapered fork into a straight 1-1/8 headtube? If so what headset bits and bobs will I need?

I’m sure this has been asked before but couldn’t find the answer! Cheers for any help!

Oof that looks lovely.

Amaze!

Sounds far too manufactured/processed to me which totally removes any energy. Not a fan. If you want some decent female vocals (of the death growl/thrash bark variety) get on some Venom Prison or Nervosa respectively.

Mate this is some fantastic stuff! Love the classic death buzzsaw sound but there’s some creative shit in there to pull it away from the endless Left Hand Path copies. Feeling some Coffin Birth and Outer Heaven vibes. Cymbal patterns at circa 2 mins into Die in a Trap are killer! Very excited to see what comes next and super impressive production if it was done in a basement! I’m a bit prehistoric with music and still get hard copies but Band Camp really seems to be a good medium to support new bands through so I must get sorted and set up an account so I can buy the demo. All the best!

That’s ace

Anyone fancy a ti seatpost (standard length) for £80? 5 years old I understand but not heavily used (bike I bought second hand that it came off looked unridden). @Shroom did have dibs but seem to have lost contact.

Cheers will try that along with the updated wheels. Seems like a pretty big design flaw to me so I hope I can fix it without some monstrous Q factor.

Cool thanks both - will get some newer wheels and hope for the best!

Commuted on my new (to me) Brompton for the first time last night. Fun ride, except my shoes got snagged on the small wheels that sit either side of the seatpost quick release - really hurt one of the times! Weird as I’m slightly pigeon-toed and have never had heal rub on cranks of normal bikes. Anyone else had this issue?

The wheels I’ve got are below - can you buy narrower ones or would it hurt to just take them off? I won’t be wheeling it around on them and can put a cap on the bottom of the seatpost so it doesn’t get damaged.

Obligatory handlebar ID query..

Build is fantastic!

Cheers!

Hmmm there is a pretty big difference between £60 for a standard extended post and nearly £200 for ti... wonder if I’d be able to tell the difference on a blind taste test. Having not ridden a Brompton before I’m not sure if it’s worth it.

Arse. Thanks for the confirmation though! Standard length ti seatpost up for sale soon then!!

So I’ve bought a brompton which has a lovely ti seatpost (standard length) which is a bit short. Is there anything I can retro fit to this to extend it? Or do I need to buy a new seatpost? As far as I can tell there is a standard length (520), extended length (590) (which should be fine for my 32” inside leg) and a telescopic one.

But I can’t find anything that you can retro fit to a standard length seatpost to give you a few extra inches but perhaps I’m missing something.

Struggling to come up with a definitive wheel build for the Pretorius road fixed. Really want to get hold of some Mack low flange hubs but I’m not on Facebook so struggling to figure out how you order some. Rims I think I’ll go Archetypes - bit done to death but I need a brake surface for the front and I think they’re probably the best looking and performing on that front.

Can decide silver or black spokes. Think silver might tie the ti parts together well.

Got out at the weekend for a family cruise between showers. Genesis going well in full mama mode. Need to get some decent mudguards now we’re back in the UK. I like those hammered Velo Orange ones which I think would look good in black.

Hi mind me asking which model of extender seatpost you have there? Just got in the Brompton game and the ti seatpost that came with it is a bit short. Cheers!
