that looks good. Apart from the fact its a Friday night. Beer beckons...

cool, thanks. I'll try that and read up on it too. I'm wondering if I need shorter crank arms

I've read all the other threads about knee problems, so I have indeed tried adjusting my riding position in various ways, taking glucosamine and riding in a low gearing.

But I was just wondering if anyone knows any specific exercises you can do to strengthen the muscles supporting your knees? I have quite a bit of pain in one knee at the front under the knee cap, probably due to snowboarding and skating and stuff. Does anyone know any good exercises to help?

Poor thing. Thats so sad. Heal fast buddy

I got pretty shaken up this morning when someone tried to kill me just to make a point. Red van man was annoyed because I was going too slowly for him, so he whizzed round me to the right then crossed right in front of me insanely quickly and very close to take a left turning. I mean, I was fucking close to being in an ambulance. It actually really upset me that people like that exist; people that actually want you dead or seriously injured. WTF? But I put it out of my mind after a couple of minutes and got on with getting on with it.

Anyway, my point is, that there's a lot of bad in this world, but you can't let in ruin your life. Just concentrate on the positive. The fact that you're back on your bike after an accident is fantastic - try and banish negative thoughts and worry, build your confidence slowly and be happy that you can ride a bike at all.

I hope the poor woman on the bridge is ok. My thoughts are with her.

this is useful for working out ratios. Lower is better for tricks and stuff, if you're into that, and higher is better for going fast.

sorry, i think i'm gonna chance it on the bay...
i only got the 105 last week, (for £23) rode with it twice without even really using it.
I'm not expecting all of the money back but might chance it and try for a bit more

balls, I will be in Berlin. Which is nice, but its a shame I'll miss it

7pm by the big stone circle thing outside the NFT. On the Southbank. Near the river. And the skateboarders.

just checked the risers and they're BMX risers. So 22.2
I think..

the 105 is darkish grey

i'll check what they are when i get home

i thought they were keeping it. I could be wrong though

Hello,

I have some stuff for sale.

Shimano 105 front caliper. Only been used twice - £15?

Charge Ladle women's saddle .The one with the floral design and mauve rails. Brand new - £15?

Tektro Tektro R536 rear Caliper I dunno £offer me something

Black riser bars. Unused but with a bit of a scratch. I dunno what kind they are or how much they're worth but let me know if you're interested, i guess. Actually, i can't remember what diameter they are either..........

bah! I can't make it. Been hoping to come along to one of these for ages

i've never been able to do one of these things. I wonder why.
What are you meant to see?

Do you have household insurance? You should be able to claim on that if you do

I agree. Not with the beating, but its beyond me how/why you would play polo with him

That reminds me. I once gave a christmas present to a friend that was a certain type of wash for waterpoof jackets - it apparently re-waterproofs them. I got it at blacks about £20... incase anyone wants to do that before winter hits

Its called Nikwax I think

hi Vic!
I did get a clamp on brake for the Vivalo but I never used it in the end. It took so long to turn up that I got used to riding brakeless.
Now I'm riding a Charge Plug so the brake is for that one. I went out on it this morning for the first time but my wrist is still so weak that it felt really dodgy without a brake for peace of mind. So I had to get the bloody tube again...
Still, I'll be back riding tomorrow. Yippee!

yeah, i know, i just wanted to get back on my bike asap.
I'm managed to borrow one from a friend so will be back on my bike tomorrow.
I haven't ridden it since July! Actually, I have never ridden it at all because it's new, but what I meant was I haven'r ridden a bike since July.

I completely agree. Its way worse.

I mean the music forums

I've been posting on a music forum for the best part of 8 years, and it's vicious, cliquey, judgmental, offensive and snobbish in the most extreme way, so perhaps it's all relative.

I completely agree. Its way worse.

After a summer with a broken wrist, I've just found out that I'm allowed back on the bike. Yay!!!!!!!!!!!!
I really can't fall on it though as it's not very strong yet and I don't want to take any chances. So I'm gonna put a brake on my bike but I don't have a lever.
Anyone got one that they'd like to lend me/sell me?

i dunno, i must confess that i was basing my choice/focusing my attention on the booze. Terrible, I know
