I want tweed rims for my bike

Bloke on a white Dolan verrr nice track bike this morning all the way along Grosvenor Road and Embankment...part of a 5 bike racenotrace at about 8am

I said..."bit nice for a winter hack", he said, "it's fine if you wash it every day" that's dedication

No one has met Littigator. I doubt that he is real. I suspect that he is a syndicate of individuals who share a user name and password on here, the BikeRadar commuting forum and the Dynamo forum.

50/14, you are clearly ideal for Rollapaluza CC (as is Littigator).

I exist, last time I could be bothered to look.

Well I can say with absolute confidence that I most certainly do not exist. After not joining this forum (after months of not practice posting on Dynamo and Bike Radar) I overreacted to a snip from Chris Crash and disappeared up on own non-existent arse....since then I have split into 5 quasi-beings who enjoy formation racing and synchronised spinning classes.

On the Tweed Run I may appear as any one of my alter-egos or I may not appear at all

The perfect reason to get my first build completed as soon as poss. Golly, I'm as excited as a daschund with a new bone!

stelle is a very charming young lady and almost certainly does not dream of herding sheep.

Shouldn't you be suing someone?

Dude, it's Christmas, have a heart. Besides I'll wait until the New Year when they're really miserable (mwah ha haa haaaaa!)

Stelle, sorry re the gender misreference, perhaps I'm now the one who's getting a bit confused

On the general ubject of gears though I just spent 2 weeks experiencing my first mountain biking in South Africa...A-MA-ZING!!! After all that spinning up hills etc my first fixed ride yesterday seemed like VERY hard work.

I had a dream last night that I could freewheel on my fixed. dream analyst verdict?

You're clearly a very confused soul! Do you also dream of Brokeback Mountain style scenarios?

I've had a year with London Dynamo, my first foray into cycling with a club. I enjoyed it at first mainly because it was a new experience, but haven't found it to be as friendly as I had hoped. That said I have met some decent people through it and the club is very well organised and has a lot of runs mid week Saturdays and Sundays.

Notwithstanding that I won't be renewing my membership next year. At races and through forums the guys at both Dulwich Paragon and Kingston Wheelers seem like a good bunch.

Canary Islands, not boiling hot but weather should be decent and if it's is only a short break rather than a week then it's pretty close.

I made that mistake my first race there and went rapdily backwards from 1st to 8th in the final 100m...DOH!

80 riders on that circuit is a littel hairy I reckon, well done for sticking it out and d'you see what I mean about being better ofdf up front now? Means you miss all the havoc and reduces the number of people braking in front of you.

Well done and see you there in the New Year

Have a good trip and see you on your return.

Cheers mate, will do.

@Littigator, where in SA you going? Just got back from a 3 week stint in CT. All great, apart from getting the radio nicked out of my hire car.

Flying into Cape Town, then 2 weeks in Knysna then finishing back in Cape Town for a wedding. Can't wait!

skipping is reisting the motion of your wheel to the point just before it locks up, then realsing, then resisting again ad nausem untill you stop. it works a bit better then skidding as you do not lose traction.

That's about the best description so far, I think I know what I'm aiming for and have tried a couple of times but I think my high GI makes it a lot more difficult to achieve. I'll be switching back to about 70 for the RP rides so will try with that

Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight so all I have to learn how to do is repeat bunny hop whilst in motion. I might drop my GI down a little then. I think 82 is a wee bit high for this manouvre

@Cliveo, yep for sure mate, but off to South Africa next Wednesday for 3 weeks so it'll be in the New Year...once I've spent 3 weeks MTBing in the sunshine...tra la laaaaa

dubstep . . .
last nite was a joke . . . was trying to rewind a set with gloves lol didnt work then the lights went green and cycle then dropped the ipod and few cars went over it and miss and last car had to fuckin get it and it was a 4X4 aswell Frikking X5 . . .

cycle back to oxford st and got a new 1 . . .

I left my iPod in the pocket of my jacket when it went through the washing machine last week. 3 days on the radiator and hey presto it was working a treat....what a result.

Top tunes to listen to at the moment Modular presents Leave Them All Behind vol 2, perfect mix of this n that

Dumbass question but would someone explain how a skip stop works?

If they're metal I'll take em!

Nah, this be brake porn. Just for you ;)

Nah mate, that be lego porn...you had it right first time

I'm building one with a 40 rear 32 front (the original set up of the frame when new), both deep v rims non-machined but anodised. Was told it'd be ok to run a brake on the front. Will that ruin it and should I get a machined 32 for the front instead. They're in bright silver finish

ok enough of all this rim talk...most importanly TFL...in terms of your new set-up, what helmet are you going for?

What?!

what he said, avoid dangling at the back, you're much better off staying in the front third!

wood yew pay silly money for rotten rims?

Buy some normal ones, quick trip down MFI...bit of glue...BYU

Good luck Willo!

I'll be doing a few after New Year...once I'm back from 3 weeks MTBing in sweet sunny South Africa....oh yeah!

Job done...all ordered and he asked me to post his new website address

Dylan's got one but it's longer than that and is pointy down...so not really any use to you actually. S'pose i really should stop typing then...
