If you mean one of these http://www.clevelandpeople.com/images/china/chinese-garden/chinese-lion-statue.jpg then, this may sound silly, but you really need to get 2 lions. Only having one is very bad luck.

Seriously, the left and right are slightly different, you need both.

when I get round to it I will be getting these on the back of my calfs.

"The lions are always created in pairs, with the male playing with a ball and the female with a cub."

Thanks for the heads up - I had gone in with the intention of just getting the female, but Piotrek suggested having the male in the background. I knew they always came in pairs but hadn't even considered that only one would mean bad luck.

It really was my lucky day then! He has a space appointment tomorrow at 12 (unless it got filled this afternoon). Otherwise he said he's not taking bookings until after the summer. I would feel bad but I'm still too excited.

Getting a statue of a chinese lion. I'm really into super realistic tattoos, but still want it to look like a statue. Was pretty nervous as my only other tattoo is pretty tiny and this is gonna be a biggun but the consultation today totally put my mind at ease.

I Booked three appointments today with Piotrek at Good Times tattoo. Managed to catch 3 cancellations, must have been my lucky day! First appointment in 2 weeks, I'm so excited.

I hammered some cotter pins and managed to fuck up the thread so if you're hammering, make sure you give it enough force to get it out in one. Otherwise get down to LMNH, they have a press and supplied and replaced a pin for me for under a fiver.

Any cash monies I have at the moment are going on my mtb, I only really want to thrash about the track for a few hours, fall off a few times and then give up.

Trying to fit in road riding, mtb and polo is proving difficult enough at the moment.

I'm trying to acquire a bmx this week to make a tit of myself on this new track, if I manage to get one I'm happy to share it.

This was my first ride of this kind today, and it was great fun. Good to feel like part of a community and I didn't even get any abuse for not making it up a couple of the hills.

Look forward to more rides like this in the future!

Hey - where in London are you? Would you take £150 for em? Can meet with cash after work today

What I mean is, for a teenage girl she's not as incredibly irritating as you might expect.

That girl* has probably committed suicide by now.

*I say "girl" but it's difficult to tell if she's 15 or 44

She's actually handled it pretty well - http://www.thatgirlinpink.com/

I'm looking for a 38 or 40T chainring, 130bcd ideally in black but if not then I'll take a silver one.
Anyone got anything lying around?

Thanks
Chris

There is a guy in the Spitalfields Cycle Surgery who is really helpful. I was looking to find out the right grease to use in a coaster hub, Evans told me not to use any grease at all so I asked in Cycle Surgery. The mechanic said to just use a bit of GT85 but the shop guy agreed that didn't sound right, and spent about half an hour going through books to help me find out the right answer. Eventually found coaster grease in their inventory system, and when he found out it would take a week or so to order in he pointed me in the direction of some other shops that might have it in stock.

How come everyone selling a frame seems to rest it on concrete to take pics? Wouldn't that potentially damage the paintwork?

Thanks n3lson. I'll give it a go and keep my fingers crossed.

Does that mean I'm fucked then?

It's definitely the flange, when I spin the wheel the flange looks like it's wobbling in and out.

That Velosteel hub looks so much nicer than the Ventura one.

Can anyone give me some advice please? I had a wheel built up with a Ventura hub, got round to fitting it yesterday and the left hub flange isn't straight.

The wheel is still true, so I'm assuming it was like this when it was built up. Is it likely to kill me?

Ah yeah, I'm at work and it's at home - was hoping to order the spokes now. Not to worry!

Sorry to revive this old thread, but did these measurements turn out to be correct? I've just bought one of these hubs and I'm trying to work out what length spokes I need to get.

I'm looking for a cheap rim to have a crack at wheel building, something that'll look similar enough to my front wheel which is black with machined walls. Needs to be 36 holes to match my hub.

Does anyone have anything suitable lying around?

Thanks, Chris

Argh my mistake, I un-second-dibs.

Second dibs on the Rigida please

I damaged a cotter pin a few months ago and LMNH replaced and fitted a new one for me for next to nothing. They had both sizes in stock at the time. Definitely recommended.

preliminary dibs please - just PM'ed you

Dibs on the no name risers please - will PM now
