Out of the two? Head. There's quite a few I'd like to aim for!!!

It just seems like it would be easier to judge. And I think that's about the same height as the Downham ct. wall.

Ah.. Hello Chris. I'm guessing you'll be the one Yorgo mentioned about joining the Zombies (myself and Yorgo)?

Welcome indeed and the red super-hi density Franklins are scarce here, we have a few of the orange hi density balls but more are always appreciated.

Yorgo won't be back until next week but I reckon Dale and I can take on you lot.

Dale? You up for it?

Pic? Description of what it looks like?
I don't have it but I'm sure someone does unless it's still at the court. It was pretty dark when we all left...

Some of those bikes at our own brick lane...

Actually a few of the Oakenden Peddlers are featured on the banner of that Wilkenson website.

Oakenden play on those bikes. Toe overlap is massive!

... but the ghost of Nick will still always be at center court, tapping out.

fixed.

I kinda like the infinity height. I kinda don't like it...

Downham Rd can be easy to sort out, height of the wall.
Brick Lane and other courts with fixed goals... self explanatory
Mitchison, where we don't use the fixed goal and Peckham carpark should probably observe a regulated height.

700c seems way too small to me and would put alot of goals we've always counted without question as too high. Plus it leaves only the bottom bracket and the main triangle as a goal area if someone is parked in front of the goal - is that a positive or negative point?

Toptube height is as standard as 'a bike width' for width of goals. So if there's enough interest in setting a height, I vote for toptube (for now...).

Nice one Rik! I always have a spare mallet or two with me. I know, a far drop from the 7/8 I used to drag down to brick lane every sunday! (most of you don't remember that though...)

I have nearly a dozen mallet heads cut between 6 and 5 inches long. All you need to do is smooth the ends a bit on the pavement, drill a hole in the centers and attach a pole. Donations of beer is accepted in trade.

I also have a few balls, mostly the softer/cold weather ones if anybody wants to trade for beers I usually have a couple spare in my bag.

I have at least 4 mallets, would loan out two, possibly three. One is a bamboo shaft with a tiny head, super light though.

No can do, Yorgo. No polo for me this weekend, I've postponed xmas shopping and leaving for the states this coming friday...

ah hat and goatee gotcha...

yea. and disgruntled faces.

nes...i suggest you remove your number or edit it in some way.

second dibs on the phone edit. But go MCR!

I took the liberty to do so but only just...

Manchester Dropouts and co. came down with some pretty good teams for a couple tourneys so don't count them out!

Nes, are you lot still using wooden mallets?

Wow! I don't look at this thing for a couple days and all hell's broken loose! No wonder nobody new shows up to polo with the insane lot around here...

Thanks for the suggestions! Now I'll shoot them down one by one:

22t is way too small unless you run something like a 12, 13 or 14 in the back! Would save on bending a chainring, though I've seen pics of them snapped. It would definitely open up the '5th hole'...

Yea, £24 is a bit steep. Especially for a flimsy 3/32 carbon 10spd job... And yea, my cranks were a fiver, everything else came free, in trade or as a part of something else that was actually wanted/needed/valuable!

I have that sugino 34t watched but really want a 39 so I don't have to change anything else. 34x24 would be too spinny! 34x20 would be ok though apart from skid spots.

and...
d:{/> = Rob?
d:{/> = me?
E:(/ = Yorgo?

I have a table reserved for ‘Mike’ and 15-20 people downstairs at KICK on Shoreditch High St. from 8pm to 11pm.

Please show up. If you need to cancel make it known 24 hrs beforehand (at least so I can let KICK know…).

What size steerer for the fork? I might have one.

Saturday? No way we are playing Zombie and Bad on the same day. Sorry.

I'm pretty good for any night this week. Saturday is good as well...

Can you play as shit as matt then?

Yea, I'll play left-handed then.
