I thought there was some kind of f@cked drop handlebar scheme happening on his downtube, or kiddie foot rests (without a seat) before I realised it was a d-lock...
-
I bent my drop bars into a slightly unconventional shape after a prang. Again, completely my fault - jumped a red down Oxford Street and flipped over the bars after slamming the brakes to avoid a street cleaner truck, so looked on it as a valuable lesson learned...
-
Looking good for Sunday now, but missus is working over the weekend so I'm at home on kiddy duty.
Have fun... atanz, if you're squeezing any more rides in before you go back let me know (maybe a quick jaunt up Box Hill back end of next week?)
-
As long as you've got other takers I'll bail out as well - I'd need the frame brackets for both front and rear. Cheers for going to the effort though :-)
-
Er... I have to admit I'm a bit confused - but that isn't difficult...
I don't mind the mounting screws for the rods missing as I guess these are fairly easy to find (Clerkenwell Screws maybe?), but will need the mounting brackets that go on the frame itself. So as long as there's a guard, rods and brackets for front and rear then all cool.

Nice one... let me know how you want to do payment, collection etc :-)

I'm probably up for this if the wind speed gets friendlier - BBC's saying 29mph on the coast and 20mph inland for Sunday. I'd rather do a day in the rain than fight a headwind like that :-)

Michelin Krylion Carbons - these are the best things I've ever ridden (against Bonty Hardcase, Armadillos and Re-fuse). Nice stripes too...
-
I'd be up for this... just to clarify - how much are we shelling out each?
-
£11.99 ?
£14.50 - and no naked waitress...
-
Great day's ride - thanks to everyone. Really cool that everyone stayed grouped and no boy racers split off. I think Nick's Garmin and gears clearly demonstrated the advantages of modern bicycle engineering technology on some of those hills - it was just relentless towards the end! Top props to Bob Jackson fixed brakeless dude. And now I can say I have visited the Most Expensive Pie In The World pub...

That'll be me at the back then...

Just one thought... if it's an old chain on a new freewheel it may get a touch rattly... maybe splash out on a new chain?
-
Me too... it's fine.

Really, have a bash yourself. I only started trying to do this myself a little while ago - you get the hang of tweaking after a while - just take your time and only make minor adjustments at a time. Nice to know there's one less thing you have to rely on your LBS for. And if your wheels needs doing anyway, why not take the opportunity to have a fiddle - if you totally f@ck it up you'll be spending the money anyway?

If this gets popular (which is likely), maybe heading out of town would be better... a Box Hill loop could work with cakes halfway?

Anyone have one of these knocking about in good condition? I'm specifically after this brake rather than Tektro etc. Cheers.
-
... just noticed you're in Manchester. I'm London - maybe the drivers up your way are all homicidal maniacs?
-
I actually find bus drivers to generally be pretty cool. Sounds like this guy needs reporting though, he might think twice about losing his rag next time. Also, did you ball the guy out, or point out reasonably that he put you in danger? In situations like this I try to leave the motorist feeling a bit more love towards cyclists rather than winding them up - they're less likely to be gunning for the next cyclist they come across?

25c's - 95 rear, 90 front. I used to run around 110, but this feels so much nicer...
