is the front wheel 700c? if so, dibs please.

A bit late, but is there anything left for me to pinch?

This thread went from trollolol to serious face. lulz c:
But, yeah, no doubt there are others like her out there.. Scary

No skid patches. Me gatorskinz are almost brand new :) so a loose cog/lockring sound about right. Tah tah, beautiful internet people.

Interesting to see how many people have this kinda issue when setting off. Personally, I'm more afraid of what the driver behind me would do/think if I fell than hurting myself tbh. So I can kinda relate to Chak

Looking back at my chainslip moment when accelerating from a trackstand, I have come to the conclusion it wasn't a chainslip (as my tension is fine), but it was actually wheelspin which made me poo my shorts. Is this possible? Has it actually happened to anybody?

^this is soooo helpful. Thank you! That link's awesome too. I'm gonna give it a go, and hope my knee feels a bit better.

+1 to you, Sir.

I feel bad now. 2nd dibs, please?

I've got some basic Tacx rollers (they might be an old antares model), a little more agricultural looking than the new o RS but they work fine.

£40 collected from New Cross Gate, let me know if you're interested and I'll take some photos tonight.

I'm interested in these. Unless robadob wants first dibs? It is his thread I'm hijacking after all :/

^yep. That's me most of the time, but sometimes it does cause me issues... But only stiffness really. When it does I use the ibuprofen gel my GP perscribed for me (which doesn't do much) and my bandage thingy which I find actually helps A LOT.

@JB and Aches and pains. Thanks for that guys. I thought it was just me. Might try to give it a file soon

^Jesus that sounds seriously slack! Is your chainline off as well?

Chainline's perfect, I just need to take more notice when my chain gets a bit slack... Oh and accelerate slower. Damn my hugely powerful legs. ha

Osgood schlatter's disease anybody? My knee's started to makes noises when I squat with weights. Pretty sure that's not normal... no more squats and back to the med for me I think.

1mm of clearence between drive side crank arm and chainstay on my pre cursa. Running 165mm Miche Primato cranks... must be doing it wrong?

Trackstand to chainslip (new fixieskidder trick) in the middle of a junction. Fortunetely unclipped in time to save myself from falling. That's what I get for having a slack chain and being too lazy to sort it.

The only reason I have a bike is so I can escape the place lul

Anyone from Romford?

^I like these very much

Good question. The seat tube length seems to be about right for my legs and the stand over height is good too. My upper body is a bit short which explains the stem. As for the saddle, I take your point completely... The stem compensates for my assumption the TT would be too long.. But the saddle ended up like that after playing around with it and realising it's the position it moves around least while riding. The saddle and seat post came off my old bike and they're pretty unreliable. It's not that far forward solely because the frame's wildly too big for me...

I'll have a go with a saddle that's not crap and eventually a longer stem and see if it helps. Thanks :)

I'm 17. So, still a bit of growing to do.

Ah, right. I thought so. That is sort of why I put it so far forward, but I am growing still (as ridiculous as that sounds) so it won't be like that forever. Also, in any other position, the saddle slips into different positions, and this is one it sticks in. Thanks for the input everyone :)

Hold on too small? Really?

Meh, not sure if I care that much. It fits... just looks a bit ??? but I don't mind. I'm just happy it moves. yay

Mine's not all that good though.......

Just family photos really. Pictures of things that noone else would take a photo of.

Ah, nice. haha. See, I'm trying to do some decent street photography and get some useful gear together for it... so recently I've been thinking about how best to spend the little money I have. lol

I've also played around with DIY doorviewer fisheyes. They're lots of fun :)

My 56cm pre cursa. Ignore the crazy/anti/fugly saddle goings on. I'm having... issues.
