Seems we're at the mercy of the weather. Thursday is good if the gods decree.

Awesome! PM me what, when and where.

A great big thank yous to all those I collected from this weekend and sorry to those I missed.

Please keep the stuff coming!

Wheels, brakes (preferably rear), levers and cable are the things I'm needing most.

What? Are you team manager?

incidentally- how naff and old do you care about things being?

I have a few bits here that i could donate once i've built up a bike for a friend. Are old 5 speed rear wheels any use? at all? i have a few. and maybe a few front, and maybe some old drop bars. and thats about it.

Wheels are good as long as they spin not rusted to bits.

Thanks for the offer to do something worse than death for me but tyres and tubes are just about covered.

Though you may want to post up a group buy on tubes? A quid a peice... wow!

which bolt? what kind? I have a few spares but wont' fit all stems.
How long is the stem?

not want my stem then?

pffft!

Sorry mate, passed right over you. 120 is actually a bit too long for polo, ultra short is best, I use something ridiculous like 50 or 60mm on my polo bike.

Brakes on loaner bikes are good! :)

If I still have a 36t ring then yes it would be useful. I'll let you know.

Maybe you'll get two!

i think i still have the stock stem off my charge plug, i'll dig it out and bring to the party on sat with the tyres.

That would be a threadless stem right? All these bikes will be threaded/ quill stems. Thanks though!

got a an old alloy 27.2 seatpost you can have. looks crap but is perfectly serviceable.

i'm in brighton, tho, and going to france for a week tomorrow. pm me if you want it, tho, and i can pop it in the post / bring it up to london sometime after the 14th.

I'll check and see if a 27.2 is needed. I have a couple frames to collect that may need one. I'll let you know as soon as I do...

I've got a tubular front wheel if you want it...

If the hub spins and the spokes aren't rusty, yep. I'll take it.
PM me about meeting up/ collecting?

All welcome!

I think I'm at Em and Em and Scott and ?'s place sat. night...
And polo on sunday.

i can take em to the shop if thats convenient???

Err... which shop is that again? I'm shite with keeping forum names connected to real life people.

Mate, a ladies frame is most welcome!

clefty, tyres are always useful on polo bikes, please do pass them on to Roxy.

Anybody else got some freebies? Really could use randoms like a couple bashed saddles, seatposts, stems and headsets. Pretty much sorted for BB's cranks, pedals, bars and frames.

Wheels are the hardest thing to come by so if anybody has any buckled wheels, shoddy hubs (fixed or free), well worn out rims etc. etc. Almost nothing would be considered too 'junk'.

Yep. And of course she thinks 'blazing saddlesores' is quite disgusting (although the best name yet). I find it hilarious!

Is anybody going to be at the court at 7:00? I have to drop mallets/ball there and run meet somebody at shoreditch park.

If polo is on today...

Damn, looks like rain...

**1600**    ![](http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/weather/images/symbols/w14.gif)    21°C     SW    10 mph    27 mph      **

2200** 17°C W 9 mph 19 mph

not true....ignore.

Myself and many other track riders (some bigger sprinters than I) use power links so that they can easily swap chains and change gearing at track meetings......power links eliminate stiff links and I've never had a problem with them either on the track or 8 years 5 days a week as a courier.

the most stress a chain will take is a sharp acceleration ( away from traffic lights?) this will be the same whether riding fixed or freewheel, reverse pressure such as skidding or stopping is less anyway.

Yep, this has always been the general consensus through practice...
