I just picked up a 18t cog for my visits to Bristol. 47x17 is what i run out here in Cheltenham.

Riding brakeless in Bristol i'd need to gear about 60 GI!!! or it'd get pretty sketchy. And that's in the dry!

bump.

on the off chance this didn't happen. :-/

I sound like a smug twat in ^that post sorry. Just thought I could save some people some mincing around.

Anyway back to the thread...

There are 2 types of people in this world:
i. Those who know a way to get grips on bars (but have never used hairspray)
ii. Those who know the best way to get grips on bars (they have used hairspray)

Also if your bars are to short for untrimmed Soyos use the short Evertop grips (Tokyofixedgear sell 'em).

That should be a pretty sturdy wheel.

Is your 28 hub in good nick? Fancy selling it (hub only) for £15?

;-)

That rings true. They make mistakes (like anyone) but they're honest and sound. They build bloody good bikes.

...they don't really know what customer service is.

It's funny reading that back. I'm not sure I'd usually roll over so easily but the things you'll do to get your frame after 9 weeks wait...

When BJ built me the wrong forks I paid for the courier. Annoying, and you wouldn't expect that from most shops. When the replacement forks arrived they had fucking big chip out of the paint on the fork crown. Not the end of the world but dissapointing.

It's tricky comparing the service you get with a shop to dealing with a factory. With BJ your actually really close to the builder of your frame in terms of people, so sometimes you get exposed to human error.

they are fine... HTFU and build one dude!

mine has been perfect - strong & true (32h, 3x, rear).

yep mine are still going strong. i love them.

Yes I was asking about H+Sons, i didn't make that clear.

Teddy... your running one on the back too? Is it stiff enough for skidding hard on or does it flex a lot compared to the Velocity?

I anyone riding these rims still alive? Or is it just it's too cold? Or you've all bought open pros and mudguards! ha.

There is a thread on it I can't be bothered to find.

Leamington Spa will be partying in the streets!

BLBs own frame needs some competition. That sells for £175 but has butted tubing and is actually pretty ok to ride.

If straight-blade forks, no holes/braze-ons, straight chainstays etc make it cheaper to build, then that's what to do.

i've had them since new. i didn't fit the seals, though i still have them, and i used them very little and only a few times in the rain, so they're still buttery smooth.

i got a pm from someone interested in the pair, but you and dylan posted first so you guys get first dibs.

Dylan and I will duck-out and let them go as a pair. Dylan wants sealed, I think he's after your front dia compe hub?

this is not so practical

spin spin sugar

I think i'll build a black one into a new rear wheel.

They get a bit of a hammering here. And this forum gets a mention too.

i'll only split if someone else wants the rear.

I may well be interested in the rear DA hub. Just couple of questions...

Did you own them from new? Also have you fitted the little seal I believe they're supplied with when new?

How can you not give a fuck about BOGOF on Mates. That's a bargain.
