not sure if its sealed or unsealed, will check tonight, hoping its just the chain.

Hi Guys,

Got a bit of an issue on the Charge, which started after it was left outside for a couple of nights in rain/cold when my lock broke a while back.
When I start to ride the bike in the morning I get a knocking sounds coming from the back wheel, after about half a mile it disappears. The sound only appears if I havent ridden the bike for a night or day, it doesnt occur if i'm off the bike and spinning the pedals, and it doesnt appear to be coming from the bottom bracket, its almost like there is something caught in the spokes, but its louder than that and repeats as the wheel goes around (not as i push the cranks although havent tried it on single speed cog yet). Going to clean and regrease the chain tonight but wondered if you had any ideas.

what time does condor shut in the week? There website link to opening hours doesnt seem to work..

nice one, cheers Jonny

Sorry for the slight thread hijack but i'm still on topic ;-)
I'm in the market for some Sidi's too, but want to try some as I have wierd feet and have to have insoles. Who are the best bet to actually have some in shop in Central London?
Evans don't look particularly promising, I'm going to check 'On Your Bike' in Tooley St on the way home.
I dont mind about the style just want to get the size right, then i can buy on the net.

damn i will have to dig out my pics of the Gaylord centre in Memphis and the Foo-king gift store in Hong Kong, not to mention the Seaman's Bank in Provincetown US!

red raleigh frame locked up next to my Charge in my work car park in St Kitts Dock, you've even kept the fgss spok card i put in your wheel a while back
who are you!?

depends on the quality of the lock really, wheel jacks sometimes work or big ass bolt cutters (the sort that come up to your waist)
there's always the co2+hammer combo as well but I've never tried it.

i always ride very carefully with one foot down over the big red bridge in St Katharines dock that has evil wide grating that will gladly swallow 23in tyres and puncture them if your tyre pressure is a bit low.

think i spotted Odge just off bermondsey street walking with his bike, blue frame, rear white dv

Jesus.

oh and if anyone wants an extra 5% discount at cyclexpress, I got a discount code. :-)

wow that shits on wiggles price! awesome thanks Scott you're a legend!
ordering now!

£61.19 including free postage and 10% discount on price!

Ok the bike is finally Free!
So the question is what do i replace it with, I cant say i'm overly impressed with the Abus cable locks now so am thinking of a NY Kryptonite D lock which is a similar price to replace it
Ideally i'd like the forgetaboutit big bastard chain but i can afford £90 for a lock at the moment. Having just spent that on a locksmith..

Any thoughts or past experiences with them? I'm looking to spend no more than £60 on a lock to basically leave at work.

Yeh Osprey Estate is prob still a bit of a no go...

went to school round there and it was a big of a hole back then, but I do here 'up and coming' things about it and Southwark park is nice :-)

oooh fetching! sorry I missed it now!

i dont muck about me ;-)

because of where its locked (at work) there's a load of bollocks about the landlords kicking off about it the fact that i'm not insured and using heavy machinery on their property, so I'm still waiting for the locksmith to turn up, should be here at noon, hopefully he can save the lock - for the money I'm paying he bloody should do!
I'm just amazed its lasted 2 nights in that carpark without something happening to it!

Hops battling north over Tower Bridge at about 6pm, I was on foot and you were gone before i could shout. Ello Luv!
I liked your hat btw

thats a good point Scott, I think i need to get my hands on some to check it out.

match the rest of the bike :-)

i reckon something like this, but in chrome,

speaking of risers, I could do with getting some that have a bit more rise in them, i'm not sure what i have at the moment (cheapo halfords job) but whats the highest rise I can get without falling into the domain of bmx bars with cross braces?

jonny the commute to the job is proving rich for this thread, before i had even got to brixton this morning i saw two on railton road, tall guy on an old converted raleigh, single speed, then just after a guy an old red condor with red rims. both nice bikes but the pick of them was on kennington road. a guy on a pearly pink mtb conversion (i think - defo not road geometry) with mudguards. really nicely done and put together, chris king headsets and the like. he was wearing one of those rasta style hats

I see the rasta guy all the time round Clapham, Stockwell, he has a lovely bike and is brightly coloured in everyway
