DMR make a thing called wonder cups, it goes into the large "old bmx style" bb and shimms it down to be able to fit a normal type of BB. so you can then run any normal crank.

recently ive found that if you use too much washing up liquid with this method it can actually dissolve the nipples...

you manage to pick up your shiny frame yet Paul?

The first important step is what Object stated, DOCUMENT YOUR BIKE! at least at some point take pics of your bike so you can see what they are more or less and also a picture of you with your bike! Insurence compaines act a lot more helpfully if you can solidly prove that your bike IS worth what you have claimed!
Also read all the small print some household insurers only cover the bike if its locked in a locked shed/garage.....I only found out about this when by bike was stolen locked up in a locked garage! luck for me i was covered! and i had pics to back up my claim!
looking at what people are saying this Butterworth company looks good....?

haha wondered how long it would take to get you on here!

Hey Lee,
yeah the practice/coaching was really fun and a good experience! I didnt think id find riding next to people more scary than riding next to lorries! haha
missd last week due to a stinking cold, do you know what type of races they do at preston park? I guess id love to try but im not sure if id be any good really.... also being new to the race thing i felt there was a little lack in explaining types of races and at least vague tacktics invloved....

the guy with the felt is called Will, real nice guy, we did give him some stick about the rim hehe, but his into it. so i guess thats cool.

hmmm sounds interesting.....i only have a fixed though as a road bike
when is it?

or maybe i should just get an early train upto london nextime and ride back!

how about a brighton to london ride.....?

im off to Afan forrest this weekend for some mud drenched mountian biking! wooo! so wont be about this weekend, but im up for a social ride/pub meet when i get back!

hey kelvin, pop in the shop on sunday, i might have an old front 5mm skewer out the back......im sure i saw one the otherday ill see if i can find it!

kelvin just come along its fun just to try

ok if you godown next week, you will be inducted in a group and put through some drills to get you used to riding close and next to people,
bring your own bike, i think conversions are fine but brakes have to come off and yes lids are needed to.
Also it may be worth changing your gear ratio to something in the high 70's or low 80's as i found out....69inches is impossible to keep up with! oh and drops are needed too. although i dont know if 'horned' bars are ok....
jeans are fine but you will be amazed at the difference wearing lycra makes, and it makes you areodynamic...
hope this helps and will see you there!

yep went to the track meet, with the wrong gear ratio and flat bars....so had to borrow some bars and spin like a bitch! good fun though and a little scary. its on next week so i expect to see more of you guys there!! oh and Jo did come along with here world champ medal and jersey, a nice supprise and fun to see!

Halo do white spokes, but dont know what lengths they do as they are mainly a mtb wheel company......check Ison Distro...

yeah found them already, so i have a backup plan.
Ive currently got some ancient pace steel/alloy forks which are amazing but are very very old and way past thier used-by date!
pace used to do their carbon fork in 1" with bolt on v-mounts......wonder if any turn up.....

oh and they need to be for V-brakes

need a new for for my singlespeed mtb, anyone got something hiding in a cupboard or under the bed?? some lovley carbon pace forks would be a treat but super hard to find in 1" steerer!!!

hippy Ride the ones you think look special and pick the best of the bunch. There's no one bike that does it all.. you need at least one bike for each day of the week.

YES! that means im allowed to get two more!
hmmm but what to get........

whats the deal if its piiiiiiisssing down? (as it looks like it will)

what time you think its gonna end...?
i can get up easy but i have to do figure out how to get back to brighton, or what train i can get ( work on sunday)

creeks/squeeks are commonly found coming from your cranks... or maybe if something is rubbing on the bearing seal on your hub....
check the bike! all over and listen carefully to where its coming from and how often it is. have you lubed your chain.....silly question but quite common.
