Not to try and hijack Yawns organising a ball buy, these guys will do postage of 15 balls for £4.... so 15 ball delivered would be £26.50...
People might prefer Franklins after Snoops opinion of the potential seam/splitting/cracking of balls... I'd seen these a while ago on the bay, so i thought i'd just chuck it in... Me, I'm not fussed what we get....
What about these? they're in the UK and only £1.50 each, Not Franklin but the same i reckon....

Update: just dropped the seller an email to find out what they can do about combining postage on an order of 15 balls.... see what they say....

Ballist.....
yeh adam that is the ball i have. I doubt you'll be able to tell the difference between that and the franklin but i wouldn't mind some franklins anyway, got a feeling the enforcer chips too easily, and the seam down the middle where it is joined looks like it could crack at low temps.
wayne, put me down for one orange and one red, if you're ordering.

This site is selling the balls we need. There are two types: orange for below 70F, red for above.
http://www.hockeyoffice.com/shop/shop1prodview_iISHDB.html
http://www.hockeyoffice.com/shop/shop1prodview_iSC75051.htmlThe order has to be over 35 euros, which with shipping works out a minimum of 16 balls - approx 3.19 each. I guess we need a mix of both colours as - it's not often above 70F on a Thursday night!
So, I can order the the minimum or if we all want a few each then I'll get more. I'd like to get this ordered before Wednesday so they'll be here for next week.
Let me know what you think.

Hi, I've got a Charge Nozzle fork that i bought but is no good to me as the steerer tube is too short (19cm) is this any use to anyone before i send it back? You can have it for £60 (i paid £68 inc delivery?) and you get same/next day delivery/collection from me, in MCR obviously..... it's perfect for barspins/tricks on a smaller size frame (check your head tube size!!)
details here: http://www.chargebikes.com/products/parts/detail.php?id=4
if there's no interest over the weekend, it's going back on Monday....

Are we defo having thr tourney @ platt fields then? I vote for Chorlton instead.
Me too... Better games should trump better spectator numbers.... and the game play is better at Chorlton...

Girl at my work wants an old road bike to replace her mountain bike for her commute to work, nothing fancy, will need to be about 50cm-ish in size, can be a mens frame (horizontal top tube) or mixte, anyone got anything they wanna get rid of...?
-
will there be a spare mallet for me to play with? there normally is, gonna come straight from work and forgot to pick mine up this morning....
-
Update: charge nozzle forks don't fit a 56cm Cutter frame... Steerer too short.... FUCK...!!
-
Nah.. asked t'other day....
Rubbish. They not got anything in GBH that'll do the trick?
-
FUCK FUCK FUCK..... have a nasty feeling that this fork isn't going to fit (steerer too short) it only has a 19cm steerer tube.... which seemed to be a detail nobody had listed online.... FUCK.... pretty sure the cutter frame has a 16cm headtube.... FUCK....
Got the Charge Nozzle..... In black from Wiggle, ordered at 5 on Monday and receive this morning at 10am super good service.....

I've caught a bug that's been going round at work, and am currently bed-bound. I'm hoping i'll be good for polo, but i'm out tonight.
What forks did you get in the end Adam?
-
Yup... good coincidence, i was gonna get a steamroller from Cavendish on my way back from London at the weekend but they weren't open, and then Chan offered me that so thought i'd give it a go......
-
Hell Yeah....!!! looks like my new forks should be here today.....!! if true that means i'll need to do some super quick bike assembly after work tonight so i can make it in time....

Loved the pace of the ride and had a real blast. No real issues or problems occurred which was cool. Who's the guy with the 'cocaine white' ribble and the BagJack? I was talking to you loads but never asked your name.
Me, Dangeruss, down from Manchester for the ride and to visit Damo, was great to meet a load of you guys, thought the ride was a fucking blast, will definitely try and make it down for another
With a needlessly long wait at Battersea for a puncture that was proving impossible to repair (everyone was just standing around drinking).
Erm... yeah, sorry!, i'll put my hands up to that one, i'd had a stupid puncture filled weekend (Damo can attest to just how stupid) and i'd put an extra rubber rim tape in on top of the glued down cotton stuff which meant getting my gators back on after changing a tube was near impossible...! (Thanks to the super chillled guy who gave me a hand & the dude with the track pump, lifesaver!) i was too full of adrenalin from chasing the group down after having to stop to put extra air in to my deflating tyre...
If i'd realised we we're gonna stop at Parliment Sq, i'd have probably been able to make it there just putting a bit of extra air in, but ultimately it needed to be changed if Damo & I were gonna keep up with the pack.....
Think my favourite moment are similar to others: The up-stairs and off-road section at the beginning, chasing the group down to the Battersea park stop, Parliment Sq etc etc....
The one down was Brick-Fucking-Lane!!! i mean sorry but WTF!! the place was like the Hogarth picture of Gin lane, fuck ups, drunks, crack heads and general chaos crammed onto the street... thank god for the reward of the Bagel that made navigating the piss, broken bottles & puke worthwhile......
Oh and thanks to the guys who rolled back towards Tooting with us, helped keep the spirits up riding with a few others to get home.....
