If you pick it up, a few inches off the ground, and let it drop onto
it's tyres, it almost sounds like a basketball bouncing.

...I love that description

The last iteration looks amazing! How much of the original frame is left in that?

slightly OT, but does anybody know how the booking system at Shepperton swim currently works? I've not been in a year and the app shows no upcoming slots...

Just email them? Or is it back to just showing up? Love the lake but booking is always a bit chaotic with them...

Looks excellent with the rack!

proper ballsack trap that saddle. Frame looks good!

Thats the one I had in mind! Do you know if they all have the wobble?

Wow this looks fabulous! One day in the distant future I'll order one.

Yea not sure what I make of the rack pivoting off the single weld! It certainly looks clean, but if that weld fails = horrific accident. If you build one please do a thread about it !

Another way to do it is use a massive second top tube, like in the pics.

@M_V didnt you make one as well?

yes this one is the best!

Been looking for one like this for a long time... but not anymore. this would build into something well cool.

Ah yea no doubt, there is an @bankiren...

Thanks for the tip! maybe I'll
DM

long shot...

Is the maker of these two awesome bikes on here?

Would love to make one but unsure how sturdy the rack is if you do it this way...

oh man so nice...

no idea i was just passing a construction site...

Y'all think i need a new rim? It's only punctured the upper layer, so should be fine?

nailed it! the one situation where nobody can say "with tubeless this doesnt happen"

I will but first I need to crowbar the tyre off somehow

Sheesh this has got to be my worst london flat yet. I'm pretty sure the tyre is nailed to the rim!

amazing.... are they printed in steel? or Ti?

Sounds like most people just risk it!
Maybe I'm overthinking it 😂

How about a tyre spray? Inflates & seals in one go, though i never tried if they work...

Thanks all for the suggestions.

@Glws yea this is what I had in mind too! We might try this in the summer.

thanks guys for the tips. I think ill look for a suit next week.

Last noob question... do you prepare for flats? if so what do you take? spare tube and a co2 inflator? imagine that the route around dorney lake is quite clean but still having to call it because of a flat sounds depressing.

wow thats tidy. glws

Thanks for the offer! I have a rather abnormal aspect ratio... 6 ft 5 but very lanky. My wetsuit is an M/L. I imagine these need to fit quite snugly?

ah thanks thats good to know

How long does it take for the tri suit to dry? I imagine it could still be quite cold in early may at fuck-me-this-is-early o'clock
