panniers are for men with lots of beer to carry. FACT YOU.

teeeheehee. glad you noticed ninja edit.
I dont drop less than 53t even with pannier on th back and a stupid steep hill. Just put speed into it before the hill......

haha you saying 48 is for the ladies? So whats 39 an 45 for, children?

so you undestand exactly what im on about?

For singlespeed sunday best rides of course, done a few centuries on it, mostly in the flat South East of England with a desire to get up a bit of speed and not be dropped by my geared ride buddies, even when they're really trying.

Tried other ratios but been riding that ratio for 4 years now on commuter and the Sunday best, yeah yeah I know, I constantly being told how bad this supposedly is, but I've done many 1000's of miles on it, never had any problems and just like it. I can do high cadence on my geared bike but my default tick over seems to be better at lower revs.

I'm prepared to compromise down to 48 but no lower.

I may be drunk but this bastard isnt even asking a question! plus I mean, 48? wtf is that?

Im saying 48 is a bitch gearing.....

'Douglas K Hartley was born in 1921 in Manchester of parents who were shopkeepers. He joined the West Manchester Cyclists Touring Club in the late 1930s and then the Dukinfield Cycling Club and took part in time trials. During the war he joined the RAF and later the Police and at that time a Doctor Abraham who examined Doug commented especially on his extraordinary physique. In 1942 he was declared the best all-round racing cyclist in Britain based on timed distance and endurance trials. After the war he worked for Raleigh in Manchester and married Margaret in 1948. In 1949 he took over a cycle shop at 100 Ashley Road, Hale that had been opened in about 1897 by Frank Jackson and later run by Herbert Jackson. Herbert later sold the business to Victor Bailes who sold out to Doug in 1949. Doug and Margaret lived over the shop initially, later at 79 Ashley Road and finally at Mere where the house backed on to the golf club, golf being Doug’s favourite hobby. Roy Goodwin joined him in 1950 and became his manager until the shop was sold in 1996 after Doug’s death. Doug was a friend of Reg Harris who built bikes after he retired from racing and Doug bought many from him in the 50s and 60s as well as building his own. Doug expanded the shop by buying 104 Ashley Road and later 102 and replaced the 40 by 15 foot wooden workshop at the back of number 100 by a brick one. Local builder Kennedy rebuilt numbers 100 to 104 as flats in 2000. Seamons Cycling Club, Altrincham have a Doug Hartley trophy.'

Haha. I know mad right? He's just a old man who hates young uns and even slightly modern bikes. Just opens up for something to do I imagine but resents visitors.

That's an amazing job
Who did it and how much?

just turn the upper and lower adjusters yourself...

Anyone know anybody near Altrincham way that would be able to fix my front derailleur for me as It doesn't shift up? I'll obviously pay.
