I remember you picking those up at Herne Hill for a ridiculously small sum. £1.50?
Maaaaan you get all the bargains! Have you thought about a side-line as a personal shopper for 'fixed-riding hip urbanites'?

Perhaps Putney Cycles? Some MTB mates swear by them..

I'm very hungover - and need some urgent advice on Salsa dancing? What is Salsa? is it this:

^fixed

^twas me pointed him here.. hence explaining the newbie lack of netiquette?
He was selling his bits 'n pieces on gumtree over the last 2 weeks.. so I mentioned londonfgss.com as a good way to spread the word.
I should have said to put his stuff in the ebay craigslist finds thread.. my bad!.
yeah, it is a bit grating what with the ALL-CAPS, lack of detail, etc. I dont know this guy from Adam. but the world now has his name and phone number?!

@ Stef - I shop at condor too - where else can you almost certainly get tubular tape / Dura-ace cog in London? they have a massive selection..
it was light-hearted comment based on the fact that Evans is down the road from them and cheaper.. and I think lots of people will realise that.

Oh - and its inadvisable post your mobile number online.. I don't.

BB tools are expensive though - I have 'borrowed' a campag one for 2 months now! ..and I havent used it yet - its a once a year tool.

damn! Thats gonna save a lot of rotating mass..

TheBrick has the patience of an angel.. I've seen it several times on this forum with bollox mechanical problems like this.. I am astonished!

Did you push the pin out all the way? If so you should remove (shorten chain by) a pair of links and extend using the excesss that you have kept aside.
Otherwise it is just a matter of lining the links up properly witht the pin sticking out of the outer plate aligned with the pin of the chain tool and twisto-presto!
Seriously - google it. park tools website. bikeshop it.

You will need to take both the cranks off (crank extractor reqd.) and measure the external dimension of the bare BB spindle.
If you've got that far you might want to borrow the right tool to take the bottom bracket out and measurements will be written on it.
Then you might as well buy and fit the new bottom bracket. :-)

^nice bike - do you reckon he rides it? brakeless?
It must be specifically for practising track-standing what with the low saddle and all.....
Just to keep things on-topic - celebrity couriers are allowed to bring muddy bikes through revolving doors in Hollywood! How convenient!

what chain is it - 1/8 or 3/32?
does it use a quick-join link or did you split the chain in the conventional manner?

erm. put the old cranks back on?
If you are having trouble with using the chaintool then check out the park tools website.

Plastic clips (used kingfisher, tioga, mt. christophe) - a) don't get bent out of shape if they hit the road/kerb when you ride on the back of the pedals. b) look a bit wrong on a road bike. c) are more comfortable in my opinion. d) are more likely to break in a crash. not sure if this is good / bad?
Metal clips (using MKS) - a) look good + classic bling factor. b) my left clip got scraped to sh1t and bent up regularly coz I was riding on the back plenty. c) can cut into shoes.
Straps - nylon straps last longer, cheapo leather strap lasted less than 1 week. never tried laminated / double / expensive ones..

Am I the only one who finds this thread title an embarassment? :-/

Cheap option - I bought a pair but not used them yet. Sole is a bit thick, but seems stiff. Fit is snug/bit narrow - I bought 47 and am a wide size 11/12uk.

Hello all - as a proud westie I would normally be up for / down with this but am stranded in Norwich weeknights and it's a bit far to cycle.. on my own.
Njoy!

^word. Whatever next? (This disturbing bike-paedophilic pic must be used again.)

Londoner selling a 2005 langster (still on original front tyre) with SPDs for £95! frame has a crack but you can build up that winter frame in one fell swoop..

Surely the back wheel gets in the way of using that bottle opener?
