the white tape looks wrong.

whats the reach?

I tought MASH was a pretty dull film. just a 'skateboarding' style video but with less tricks.

from the preview I had expected more of a a documentary of the 'bike culture' in SF but instead you just get long shots of some guy riding a bike around doing skids...with arrospok

spotted this arro-trike on Kingsland road on the weekend.

5mm?

fuck thats nothign - i wouldn't eeven worry about it. I Imagine mine Chain is out by at least that.
its 'looks' pretty straight to me.

I found this quite difficult for the first week or so. but after that it is mostly second nature and you can do it withtout even thinkign about it / lookign down.

ideally you want to 'slip it in' on the first upswing...

if the only option is replacing the hub why not just thread it on the freewhell with a bunch of hard-core loctite and the BB Lockring so that it NEVER comes off.

you will be stuck with that gearing / sproket but thats cheaper than replacing the hub. swap out the hub later on...

I rode a Suicide Hub for a while without any loctite. - It wasn't secure enough for Skidding - I could never get the BBlockring to screw down hard enough.
you can also use a thin shim between the sprocket and Lockring to get more outward force on the threads.

for Fixed stuff in Sydney your best bet would be Cheeky Transport / Cheeky Monkey
http://www.cheekytransport.com.au/
in Newtown just off King St street.

CBD Bikes in the City on Kent street sell a bit of track /fixed stuff - they stock a few Off the Shelf track /fixed, SS commuter bikes, Bianchi Pista, Kona, etc..

most of the other Bike Shops in Sydney don't seem to stock any fixed or track stuff.

oh wait there is a little place on Paramatta Rd with a Red and White sign 'Cycles' that may do some track stuff - although it seems more of 'serious roadie' shop.

bloody Australians...

how the hell do you get them off with just your thumbs?

• I just recently bought my first set of 'skinny tyres' 700c x 20mm
  
  

adn goddamn they were hard to get on. - I'm used to big fat tyres that are so much easier. my thumbs were sore for days. and i doin't think i got them on very well. the tube may have been a bit twisted/bunched.

hmm so if i just rock up will they let me in?

hey I think I missed the boat with teh email invite. is there any space left? anyone know where its on / what time?

Jake Anyone want a LH 26.0mm clamp Cane Creek Crosstop lever?

Totally brand new, never used. Can be flipped and used on right side and still looks neat.

Thats just what i need right now.
Where are you?

I ended up buying one from Charlie T on Ebay.

Condor is in Camden isn't it?

oh and are half-links dodgy?

Hey I need a 1/8" Half-Link.

my dropouts are not very deep and the bolts are kinda on the edge. with the chain a bit too tight i think.

where in City -> Hackney area could i get one easily?

is this a parody that has gone over my head?

But there is only about 5mm difference in size between a 27" and a 700c

• you can barely tell the difference.
  

i mean the look alright as i haven't yet put them on my bicycle.

i just got a pair of MKS Sylvan Road pedals with Toeclips and leather straps for cheap on Ebay. they look alright.

But i've never ridden clipless and mostly just ride to the pub and stuff where you want to wear normal shoes.

not bad. I might have to get some of these.

where is the pic?

the paint job is horrendous.

Those Etrex ones - are they geared mor etowards the hiking market?

it could be useful having a map one for cycling around a new city.
if you coudl mount it on the bars somehow, - but £200 seems abit steep - I think i'll stick with my £5 mini A-Z.

what is the price lik eon these suckers?
