yeah, he's so pleased. So am I. Means we can ride about together now. Cool.
I'll have another look at the chain issues when I get home. I think the chain could be a little tighter but we might need a half link. I'm a little nervous of removing another link in case it makes the chain too short... -
I'd quite like one that looks like an army helmet.
But it would need air vents...
-
I set up my boyfriend's bike for him (he must be desperate if he's letting me do it!)
and there seems to be a problem...
We bought a 1/8 rear cog and a 1/8 chain but we're using an old bianchi chainring that's been kicking around our flat. Not sure where it came from.
Anyway, the chain's all oiled up and he went out for his first ride on the new set up this morning... but the chain is really noisy, almost as if it's the wrong size or something.
So here's the question: how can I tell if the Bianchi chainring is compatible?
Or could it be something else, like maybe the chain line is out? or it's too slack?
Thanks for any help! -
I usually wear one commuting. I hate it thought. Does anyone know of any helmets that don't look completely shit? Someone should make some. Definitely a gap in the market there
-
i think Estelle is gonna try and pick em up.
I can't make it there in time but could drop them off after (if someone tells me where)ANyone want to accompany Estelle to pick them up?
-
is anyone able to bring mallets?
-
Who's coming to Trixie tomorrow? Come on ladies, numbers are getting dangerously low!
-
cool, thanks Dogsballs.
BTW, ordered the rims and hubs for my fella, but they still haven't turned up.
Will definitely be getting in touch when they do.
My own bike project is on hold till I earn more money, but was just wondering what to go for.... -
Can you get coloured metallic rims? But not deep v's - the other type of rim. (if you see what I mean)
If so, who makes them?
Just got a new frame and I'm working out what bits to put with it -
oh where to build mallets? How complicated this is becoming!
We need our own mallets then we can always play even if everyone else can't make it. We could leave them at Foxx's office down the road.
How was last night anyways? Me, Kat and Posy turned up, waited till about 7.40 when Vic showed up and then I went home. We were on our way out when Vic showed and by that point I'd already decided what I could have for tea if I went home! I need to pack more snacks in future -

I think Em and Chandra are coming as well. I have lots of piping if you ladies want to make your own, I've got mine but keep forgetting to bring it. I also have a spare ski pole going, and some bolts, hacksaw and drill. Damn I'm organised..If you can get hold of poles and get down my gaff I'm happy to have a mallet building day, combined with a quick game at my local park and BEERS. That is if you manage to get all the way down my manor..come on..that southern air will do you good.
p.s. i've had words with the authorities about the 'Trixie Chics' incident....
Sounds mighty fine to me! Lets set a date
-
Rose and I (for a change) will be there.
Anyone else noticed that we've had our second X-chromosome hijacked?
Chix not Chics! Although it's nice to be the plural sophisticate, eh?Oh yeah! I couldn't work out what you meant but then I spotted it.
Nous sommes tres chic, ne c'est pas? -
okay cool. Thanks Sano.
Is anyone bringing mallets? Or are we just drinking beer and doing tricks (although what tricks, I'm not sure.... perhaps we should work on this a bit!)
Mackenzine, Posy and Robofoxx, maybe we should make our own mallets at some point. Would be useful, no?
-
I don't think Clefty can make it. Posy is coming on her new steed.
Is Robofoxx in? -
that whitcombes getting hounded!! juliet whats the size of your frame? and if thats got no brakes is it easy for me to fit a front one?
It was this one
http://www.gumtree.com/london/32/22484832.html that Eyebrows posted about.
Its a 56 . Single speed though -
might wanna buy some cheap spokes too, otherwise even the mighty dogsballs might have trouble lacing the wheel.
Ha! Yes, that might be an idea
-
what about that one on Gumtree? Did you call them?
-
Posy, why don't you ask Helen what size hers is. You seemed pretty comfortable on that
-

http://www.cyclebasket.com/products.php?mode=searchbuy some cheap rims
http://www.cyclebasket.com/products.php?mode=searchand i'll build each wheel for a £10 ea
Thanks, Dogsballs. Couldn't get the link to work though, so I couldn't see what rims and hubs you suggested
-
do you reckon these will do the job? If so, which whould I go for?

Miche hub laced to:
Mach1 CFX,
Rigida Chrina,
or
Remrx taurus or sunbow rims
Single sided hub wheel-set in black or silver.

[/SIZE] -
Anyone got any cheapo wheels they'd like to get rid off?
I'm trying to sort out my boyfriend's bike and he is running a suicide hub which I'm not happy about.
If not, any idea what would be the very cheapest hubs and rims I could buy? Well, at least the very cheapest but not completely useless...
He has no money at the mo so its looking like I'm paying! -
[quote=eyebrows;142396]I don't think you can do it fixed, as London tri conforms to BTA rules, which state:
[quote**] *****h. There must be a brake on each wheel and both ***
***wheels must be classified as free wheels. ***[quote]Dammit! Didn't notice the bit about the free wheel. Bugger.... : (

Great. Thanks Scott! Now I need to save up and buy one.
By the way, I have a Bucky Lasek Pro tec helmet on ebay, if anyone is interested. Its CPSC certified which means it's suitable for bikes (on the road)
Its the wrong size for me
