Did you ride it to the NE Christmas do? Pretty sure I saw one there...

You might be able to fit the wheels but your brake mounts would be out of place. There are solutions and depending on what you want, braze on v brake mounts or clamp ons.

Best of luck with you build!

from measuring up 700cs wheels from my other bike theyll fit, just. might get new forks anyway. id prefer a flip flop so i can get a decent sprocket for polo but also have a ratio to get to the polo court. i dont want to cycle several miles on 30-40 gear inches.

B, got 2 pieces left, orange ones, will bring it along the next time I am at Newt

Should be there 7 (+/- 15 minutes) depending on when the overground staffs allow me to go through the gates. Official off peak is after 7 but will give it a shot at 6.30-ish and see if they will let me through.

Plans are pretty much up in the air and nothing is firm as of yet. When do you guys play? Which days and time?

Might be in for some Thursday or even Wednesday (working 6 onwards...) polo depending on weather and location of the West-lo courts. Someone kindly paste the googlemap link?

Anything with Brooklyn on it carries huge price tags :)

Time to introduce HDPE mallets to the H polo guys? :)

Will be in Brussels/Antwerp this end of the month 25-30th and would be nice to get a game or two (or even more if possible!!!) during my short stay. Will be based in Antwerp (bumming with my friend) and will make the travel down the Brussels if the games are there instead of Antwerp.

Already sent an email to Brussel's bike polo peeps, still awaiting reply and if anyone from the European capital is reading this please do get in touch. Thanks very much!

Regards,
Benjamin

p/s: Really only have to be in Antwerp on 28-30th hence 25th-late 28th is supposed to be polo time :)

HELP:

Need a light and foldable bike bag, any DIY solution will be good too! Got one, but not foldable and not too light... Can collect from SE/NE, will be at SE polo tomorrow if it helps... Thanks!

Mallet and HDPE with Josh (JAH)

^What he said.
But in mallet form.

As well as 1m of hdpe.

As well as the ball being played with on the main court.

Might not be a wheelset but here: http://www.lfgss.com/thread57414.html#post1873824

I think plenty would be happy to help you make the purchase and arrange postage over to you. I for one could do it if my schedule permits next week. Drop me a PM if you are not sorted by Wednesday.

I want a didgeridoo!!! :D

North or South?

I prefer Smallfurry stuff ;)

Does this mean coventryeagle doesnt swallow?

Just for my records like.

In for an early start.

I am looking at this idea, but with magura rim brakes, not disc but hydraulics nontheless. Looking at the web to find a 1-2 hydraulic 'splitter' (Goodrige have some but it's not meant to be for bicycle brakes) and of course get a set of (battered + cheap) maguras to play with the idea. Anyone got a set they are willing to let go for the above experiment?

I have been giving the dual brake idea a little thought and have come up with an idea. I am no engineer, so bare with me on this one! Looking at motorbikes, they often have twin front discs with two calipers, working off of one lever. What about copying this setup, running a larger master cylinder on one lever and having two brake hoses - one to the front caliper and one to the rear caliper. It works on a motorbike, so why not on a bicycle? I am not an expert on hydraulics, but surely one master cylinder squeezing fluid down two lines to two identical calipers would give equal braking front and rear?

Will check B's lead below and see if they have it, if not then I will most probably take yours. Any chance of a pic?

If you can make do with just the one, I think I have a well used one.

Thanks B, will pop by this Saturday and have a look.

try bike fix.

Union Cycle Works at the end of Deptford High Street has an open tool session every Saturday. Drop knowthejo a message.

Anyone contacted TNT yet? Might wanna speak to them and let them know they are potentially losing quite some business opportunities.

Super Saturday in the making :)

Just got a Pomp as a polo bike an I must say it's pretty decent. Love the compact design and + layback seatpost gives a lighter front end + plenty of grip/weight close to the rear axle... :)

ETA guys?
