brighton team....? how do i not know about this? or has the track club been secretly planning???

yeah, actually in Ringmer, but its a nickname thats stuck...

not seen any others on the roads apart from in Brighton, seems to be a growing interest and nearly every older roadie i come across likes to swap stories of when they used to ride fixed

well it sounds like a hoot. apart from its in london and i havent got a fecking clue where things are, and its at 7pm so i have no chance of getting up there on the train till after 7 and that will take aaages. maybe nextime....

15miles each way, nice and rolling with the mix of hills both ways, and the wind helps me on the way home if im lucky, and when im not lucky its into the wind all way to work! :(

most likely that the bb's are two different lengths, measure them and see...im guessing the first one is longer that the second

so far the frocast is good for friday and saturday!.......have i spoken too soon.....?!

7:45 holy poo. yeah it does exist but in the evening! haha
your right though, earlyer is better! ok lets say 8 at the old peir....?

that route looks good too, oooh but what gearing to run....decision time! haha

im still up for it, where and when to meet up i guess is the next thing....

loving my new army surplus gortex trs in this weather! worth every penny and only £20! brand new!

if god rode 46-17 into a head wind for 15miles he would think about getting a 18t on the other side of his almighty flip flop for such conditions!

mosquito have decided not to stock the rush this year, but im sure you could get them to special order one if you asked nicely.

nice frame, horrid horizontal dropouts! come on its an expencive frame and thats the best they can do.......

if the end is visable and able to get to it, get some tweasers and a scalple and have your best few goes at trying to pry the bugger out. i have used this to success on a few old locks before and if you have a spare key you can use the lock after....good luck

yep, said so on the other thread too. could be good fun and maybe a bargin or two....

yep im up for it, on my day off too.

hahaa now thats what i wanna see!

Rooski Hi, I was also looking at the ACI Alpina spokes as a cheaper alternative to DT or Sapins. They are made in Italy so i guess they are nice spokes. Alpina's 2mm/ 1.7mm/ 2mm is pretty close to the DT revolutions 2/1.5/2. I'm guessing they are all made from a similar grade of steel. Can anyone confirm ACI Alpina are nice spokes?
On my google searches into the early hours i did find some even cheaper db spokes - 100 for £10!

(Not sure what the thicknesses are, and they are sold in very long lengths so would need cutting and threading - not worth the hassle of buying tools to do that!)
Unxetas, as it happens I'm after some 292mm spokes, and also need about 70. If they are going spare, do you want to go halves?

At the bike shop i work at we use Alpina spokes a lot, my wheels are currently built using them too and alls good, even after taking a beating through some pot holes. But good spokes also become better with the combintion of what they are attached to. So if you have a cheap rim or cheap hub, the wheel will only be as strong as its weakest part. saying that though, good spokes are well worth the few extra pennies even on cheap rim and hub builds. hope this helps, i give Alpina the thumbs up.

holy crap.

ah bloody hell what a load of fuss. trying to explain things on a bloody forum is hard and time consuming,so due to my computer lazyness I give up trying to get my thoughts across! until they have a doodle function so i can do little diagrams to aid my shite descriptions!
mmm just had a mincepie, damn they are good.

not on the bike, on the fork.... the only reason (other than being quirky/different) i can think why the brake would be mounted on the bac k of the for is because its not giving the brake that is being used enough tire clearence....however i am guessing all this from a side on picture mind. I'll have to send the pic to the CSI lab to get a full 3d pic so i can confirm my assuptions....

err isnt the brake behind because there isnt enough clearence for it if it was mounted in front..........
as a note all the TT bikes ive ever worked on have always had front brakes, and shit the bed they have always been on the front!??!?!!!!

we sell them. Push seatpost, cheap £14.99 silver microadjust.

ive bumped up my houshold to cover over seas, but it still only covers it if its locked up in a locked building/garage.....which luck or not for me when my bike was stolen i was covered! but then they wanted to up the cost of the insurence next time round, so i changed insurence. to be honest id like to see what other people say and reccomend because it all seems to be fooking expencive for next to no 'useful' cover!

i'll have a look then :)
