The one Si took was 110 & 130 bcd.... Not 135

If you can't find one second hand, have a look at the goldtec ones super burly... But expensive... But good...

Only thing with the cutter version 2 is that there's not a lot of room for larger tyres at the rear, i'm running 28c Shwalbe Marathon Plus and the axles have to be as far back in the drop outs as possible.... Just my 2cents...

I can't make it out tonight, and as the last 3 weeks has been super quiet due to excess polo & excess revision i'm thinking about changing to just going out riding as and when people can be bothered, or just trying to organize a monthly session instead possibly...?

`Whatcha think to that....?

Manchester city centre... They're always feature in the Manchester Evening News after some dozy motorist tries to tailgate one of the buses that have the (radio transmitters?) things that lower them on board, then they complain, a lot...

This is despite the fact there are big fuck off no entry sign and signs warning of raising bollards.... perhaps it teaches them to pay a bit more attention to their surroundings..? i'd like to think it does, but i somehow doubt it.....

Re: the bollards above. Where are those!? Amazing footage, people trying to sneak in after the permitted vehicle has gone through.

Nice idea, but looking at the prices online the pole needed costs £67! before you even buy the clamps and hooks, Edinburgh Bikes have this similar design for £88 all in maybe worth a look?

East Bay youths pioneer scraperbike movement - Louis Bohan

A blur of spinning colored wheels comes rolling down the street. The lead bicycle is a three-wheeler that sends rotations of color and the tease of candy snacks as it nears.

Tyrone Stevenson Jr., aka "Champ," zigzags down the double yellow line on his Oreo-package-sporting three-wheeler of homemade urban elegance, with the Scraperbike Crew in tow.

Stevenson wears a royal blue T-shirt and jeans to match his blue- framed bike -- its wheels decorated with blue Oreo-package clippings. The self-proclaimed "Scraperbike King" wears a blue sequined cap as a crown.

What began as Stevenson's attempt to create the next best thing to having his own scraper-car -- known in Oakland's hyphy-style rap culture for the matching body and wheel colors -- has turned into a mobile mini-arts festival of 26-inch-tall Ferris wheels rolling through the streets of East Oakland.

The Scraperbike Crew, a group of teens, got some buzz for their self-titled music video, which was nominated as one of YouTube's Top 20 Best Music Videos of 2007 and has drawn 5,123 views. The youths have used old bicycles, ingenuity and urban style to create an Oakland-grown phenomenon that is earning recognition from community leaders, local children and cyclists around the globe.

Stevenson describes the Skittles bike with a rapper's flow: "Them (are) 26-inch rims with candy-paint, four-toned, turquoise, purple, red and blue." The spokes were wrapped in tin foil -- in a shape resembling a fan -- with a top coat of paint to match the frame color and candy theme.

I've got one of these in black somewhere... they fit 110 bcd & 130 bcd.... the one i've got is 47t i think, which is quite good for having quite a few skid patches.. i'll see if i can see it when i go home to get my polo bike...

Oh, it's 1 1/8th inch... what's your chain at the moment...?

I still can't understand how anyone can live in Manchester without it.....!!!

Yeah... i'm in for a bit providing it's not torrential rain.....

Bloody hell whats going on with the weather today!? It was thunder and lightning before, and now it's really sunny.

I'm up for playing tonight. On thursday a few of us played in platt fields, it was raining a little but didn't seem that slippery. The court seems to absorb the water really well. Whitworth is out tonight and Stretford a little too far for most so I reckon PF for the win!

Who's in?
