I must have ridden past that so many times and I didn't recognise it! The race is on then, who can get their bike there and take a pic.

Welcome to the forum 12304 :)

Thanks. I'll keep hold of it for the beater then.

Not a crash damage question but it involves replacing a head tube so here goes...
In theory could a frame builder shorten the reach of a frame by removing the head tube, shortening the top and down tubes and putting a new head tube on a bit further back? Or will this mess up the geometry of a frame?

I didn't even know road tubeless existed until I picked up a Scwalbe Pro One second hand and read it on the sidewall!

So the question is: Can I use a tubeless tyre on a clincher rim with a tube and treat it as a normal clincher tyre?

Thanks

Why do you need cycling shorts with a chamois to ride that?

I have 2 pairs of unused climbing/bouldering shoes for sale at the moment. Both split sizes, I usually wear a size 7 normal shoe and these rock shoes fit me ok, Rights are 1/2 size bigger than lefts:
Red Chili Spirit Impact. UK 7.5 left, 8 right.
Scarpa Marathon. Eu 40 left, 41 right.
Anyone interested?

I've always gone with Leki poles as parts seem to be available in most decent outdoor stores, replacement tips/baskets etc. Their UK distributor also managed to replace a section after I fell and had to self arrest with one on an icy hillside in the Brecons!

Hooray for a circle line ride. I was looking for social pace rides coming up. :)

By the way, Ryan, I like the way you matched the architectural shapes in the last tags.

New tag:
HEADING Northeast from the last tag you'll find this tree with a story or two to tell.

Old tag was Ruskin School of Art on Bullingdon Road.

Reader's workshop beater loaded up on post office duty, rescued from a neighbour's garden and now enjoying daily runs to the shops, burger van etc.
The frame is stickered up as "Record, Surrey, UK" but also says made in Yugoslavia.

Fuck! Have you got a facebook post I can share?

So is this basically geocaching without the Tupperware and the trampling through patches of stinging nettles to put your hand in a hole full of spiders?

Follow your phone and find something?

New tag is a cycle related mural in an area known for its walls, and near a road sign that sometimes gets rudely altered.

Old tag was St Edward's School Cricket Pavillion off Woodstock Road.

Add that pic of Dropout from the "Dropout Drops In" thread, job done!

Took a bit of googling but I know where this is!

There's a Team GB range in Aldi now with Small size shorts (30-32" waist) at last, chamois appears to be the same as the last Aldi shorts that they did. Also jerseys, gloves, socks etc all in Team GB red/white/blue if that's your sort of thing but they also have track pumps, tool kits and various bottles of lube, cleaner and GT85.

Should've called it "The Fixed and the Furious".

The you could follow it up with:
2 Fixed 2 Furious
The Fixed and the Furious: Tokyo Skid
Fixed and Furious
The one where someone has given up riding but is convinced to come out of retirement for one last job despite being "too old for this shit"
and
Messengers of the Carribean: Dead Man's Porteur Rack.

Well it's not where I thought it was!

I have an idea where that might be but will have to go there and see if I'm right!

In the meantime I've updated the google map with all the previous tag locations. Handy if anyone wants to revisit these places, plan a ride or whatever.

Eat them while we still have a steel industry!

anyone else got rid of old friends on Facearse today who are showing their true colours?!

I'm considering deleting a load of fb acquaintances as lots of them have revealed themselves to be really quite nasty or ignorant, interestingly alot of them I know through one particular hobby that we share which is going to make things uncomfortable if I carry on with it.

I found myself trying to avoid the subject at work today, I'm used to being the odd one out in the workplace with my wierdo cycling/non drinking/herbivorous ways but there was a certain tinge of nastiness and tribalism when it came to the subject of the referendum.

There's a Harry Quinn frame locked at my local supermarket with a flat tyre which has been there a few weeks. I might have a word with security and see if they know anything about it. The Ammaco hybrid next to it has been there for as long as I remember so I'm guessing the landowner isn't fussed about removing them.
