If you do buy them don't go for Time RXS- I regret making that choice, as with no float I have to choose between hip or knee pain on a longer ride.

Speedplay are going to be very slightly richer when I get around to it.

My road shoes have vents literally all over them- there are a number in the sole for example.

This makes them very pleasant to wear in the summer, less so now.

Ma3k is right about the walking like a penguin thing, so they can really only be advised when out for a long ride on the good/fast bike.

I have SPD's on all the day to day machines.

Many thanks Madame Clefty, I shall look forward to it.

You going Andy?

If so fancy rolling over together if you are in the office today?

I shall probably come tonight- but I just wanted to check first to see if I owe anyone any money?

It seems that tonight will be a Fiduciary Day of Reckoning...

This going to still be there at lunch time?

If so I'll pop down- I'm only round the corner.

This is driving me slightly nuts now- is it someone on here with the 52cm Fuji Track that locks up in the hallway of Meridian Point?

My inseam is 34", so that may well be too small.
Curses.

Measure the BB shell width.

68 English, 70 Italian

Now that's a relief.

I'm probably wrong here but I seem to recall (through a fog of lunch time beer and old age) that if it is a 68mm shell then it is more than likely English thread.

You could run a thumbnail along the thread and work out if is clock or counter clock- that would be a lot more reliable than my rememberances however?

Possibly this bit of the post indicates that s/he might be a girl?

Email lucy(at)magnificentrevolution.org if you spot it.

it would be too small for prav. conan's fort is 60cm seat tube and he's my height.

doh, didn't read this page!

So what height/inner seam length would it fit- i.e. I don't know Conan and cannot remember how tall you are Dale!

I have to say that I find it hard to sympathise with the OP- starting all their other posts with "Poor you, my bike got nicked etc" in reply to everyone elses stolen bike threads was poor show.

As the "Fixed Apocalypse at member 5000" post shows there are a lot of us, and you just have to look at Scott's post to see how to mobilise a hugely diverse but bicycle obsessed bunch of people to look for your bike.

Forum etiquette fail I am sorry to say.

Run into an oriental sports shop, buy a Kendo outfit, instant Star Wars character.

And you have the yellow Mavic car mech's on speed dial?

i will be there, i don't have to ask. (he writes from a room with no working heater)

Well you live about 20 metres from my office, I could pour a fresh cup of tea out of the window onto you if you really need to warm up?

I've been tempted by any number of carbon bling rims on the bay before- but they are cheap for a reason!

Tublulars are great if you have a bunch of mechanics following you in a bright yellow car with "Mavic" written all over it, stuffed full of spare wheels.

Not so great if you have only your bag over your shoulder.

In short- to fix a puncture with a clincher you just need to swap the tube, with a tub you need to remove the entire tyre/tube sealed unit, re-glue or tape the new tyre/tube unit to the rim (and it must be pre-stretched), then inflate it to 160 PSI with your mini-pump.

I run clinchers personally, even on the road bike.

I went to the Chap Olympics last year- much Hendricks was quaffed.

The pavement seemed to be significantly narrower on the walk home than it had been on the way there. More of a zig-zag to it as well.

This might change things- how tall are you Prav?

I'm 6'2" and thought that this would be a good fit, as I ride a 58cm conventional frame.

Looks like there are a few Prav impersonaters here now...

Hmmm, what would be a fair price for that Fort?

Same here- bought a flip-flop wheel, fixed sprocket, lockring and a screw on free wheel for the other side.

The screw on free wheel was never used, and now sits in my toolbox sulking.

Go to park>wobble>learn>go and play in traffic.

I neglected to bring my duelling pistols with me today- any suggestions?

You seem to talk the talk, when are you going to display your aptitude for walking the walk?

Why would I need both hands for that?
