this is not your typical internet forum where you can join in safety knowing that you'll never meet other forumengar in real life.
I ALWAYS keep that in mind. Especially after I got in a bit of trouble with Julio..
On Topic thouhg:
Is it my lack of exposure to tight clearance or does that fork look bent..maybe it's because it's so steep? -
With the Charge Plug mate-fine its obvious you've accepted you are trying to hop into a highstreet fad-but at least you've kept it highstreet and not put any nice parts on it to try and step up to the wank that some people post on here.
What the hell are you on about? A fad? Try asking people why they bought they're single-speed bikes in the first place. I'd say about 99% of us will have ridden a bike regularly before that. Maybe, you could consider the fact that we wanted to try something new?
Stop being a close minded elitist and accept the fact that other people like to try things and that those who recently came into the world of single speed road bikes (not the glorified cult you seem to think it is) will either move on within a year or stick to it much like I intend to do and contribute to communities like this with a kind face and a few pints at the drinks/tricks/riding sessions.

I take it you didnt buy yours in the last year...The sooner that half those who have, get rid of them the better. The scene is nothing more than a way for dumb highstreeters to gain some identity and probably now all write on here like they've been riding SS since their paper round
you know who you areWhat a fucking cunt.
And I'm not being touchy because I would be the "dumb highstreeter". Yeah, I got my "mainstream" charge plug freestyler just over a MONTH ago. Fu-cking bite me.
I didn't take your post personally btw, it's your attitude which I can't bear.

that a bit strange, the hubs on my bike are the same cheap hubs that were used on the Charge bike, how did the slipping happen) did you not even use a lockring?
Of course, there's one on there as standard but it has been getting loose. After a short ride doing skids on damp road it's still moving, less but this is getting annoying
Would lock tight solve the issue?

Apparently, a lot of people find the rear hub on the Plugs to slip a lot even after tightening to the point where they ended up stripping the hub.
I know I have, got it tightened at a shop and after a few skids at Trixie, it started moving again. Did a rota+hammer job on it but if it slips again I may upgrade..

i liked the matrix. i liked the idea. once had a big "what-if" discussion with some mates years ago and the matrix concept was one we talked about. aliens, computers, etc. we were bit freaked out when this movie came out. anyway, liked the series but bit disappointed when it all went 'christian' in the last two.
i like 'lost in translation'. i think murray's character was more ignorant/selfish than racist. arrogant american actor in a foreign country...seriously, what do you expect? and you think the japanese arent racist??? no real plot in the movie, but i sometimes like those kind of films.
Totally agree about both.
I don't understand matrix bashers. Most of them only see the film in one dimension: fast action. Even if the script is hollywood, the underlying message is still a very interesting one..
Lost in Translation and all films that are a slice of life are awesome! It also introduced me to the wonders of MBV-Loveless :D

^^Probably should spend on a new sprocket plus lockring then.
I'm guessing the forumla hubs have a standard thread size? Being..?
