nhs healthy height/weight chart. Take as a guide, doesn't take sex or muscle density into consideration but a good place to start.
Speency - put your height in the chart! It bugs me that you started it but didn't put it in.

according to this i need to 65kg which seems very low to me - even when I was racing bikes seriously I was never below 70kg. can anyone find a mens specific chart?

having your weigh in at the same time each week is important - you can vary by a few Kg depending on how hydrated/well fed you are.

it doesn't matter if we all do it at the same time - i dont think we need to synchronise watches ;-)

if we had a second column for height we could automatically calculate our BMI at each weigh in - I know BMI has its problems but it would make comparison easier.

christ, how big are your shits!

what, you mean that's not normal????

looks like everyone is moving in the right direction - although in my case it's only the difference of a large dump (or the wobbly needle on my scales)

oh yeah i saw that urban hill climb thing. looks like a laugh.

oh, i see. I'm guessing this is swains.

it rises 70m in just over a km - ouch!

most competitive hill climbs are only a mile or so long. thats plenty enough time for the skinny rider to get ahead.

where is Swains? I'm new in town and dont know my geography yet.

well that all depends if they are going uphill or not! power to weight is important uphill and power to friction/air resistance more important on the flat so its tricky to work out.

just checking ;-)

absolutely, more the merrier!

could always use the shit yourself thin technique, or tapeworm...

are those general suggestions or singled out for me?

just added myself, hope thats OK

I propose the following as challenge dates:
19th Feb
18th March
22nd April
27th May

just found this thread - any chance I can join in?

If your still looking for a way to make it competitive i'd do it like this:

Everyone write down a starting weight and a target weight then calculate the difference. Then calculate what % of the way you are to achieving your target weight. That way you can account for everyones different starting points and end points but you also get to see how your progressing towards an achievable goal.

I'm going to throw in my velocity deep-v wheels with this for the same price. I'll add pictures when I've put them on the bike. Should look great when it's done.

Just put this up for sale if your interested - might be willing to split

At fist i thought these must be the bikes I rode on my first ever trip to a velodrome back at when i was at Edinburgh Uni but on closer inspection I was leant a paul donohue but some of the other riders had these...

I can't for the life of me remember the name of the coach who ran the session for us but if it was you Allister thank you very much!

I'v had 2 crashes on black ice in the lakes at this time of year, even if it's not freezing when you set off it can be in a matter of hours especially if your climbing a pass to the next valley etc. Take care!

Isn't it an advantage to the community to have a very busy classifieds section? Having lots of members who only log on to buy and sell means lots of cheap gear is brought to us.

As a constant builder/tweaker of my bikes I can see the advantage of classified spam!

Maybe I've missed the point.

just try to keep your weight over the wheel that needs grip. Move forward over the bars when you stand on the pedals.

If you have a very short stem consider using a longer one - I find that short stems compromise bike handling especially when out of the saddle.

RIP

Safe cycling everyone.

'dan - The sprocket is a wide based SS adapter sprocket that can only go on one way round on the HG freehub body and is already the second one of its type I've tried, the first being a 16t that was a little loose and I wasn't certain wasn't slightly elliptical, but it doesn't appear to have been that, or at least not totally.
Will be getting a 42-44t chainring soon as I have some cash spare anyway as a 36t is just too small.
Think, as you say, its just gonna be a case of experimenting with different combinations to get the right chain tension and grip.
So frustrating when I've got £1200 worth of bike, that I spent about 3 months scraping and saving to pay for parts and STILL can't ride the bloody thing!
Oh well, guess it all helps to stock up parts for any future projects! :P

in that case i'm stumped!

I ❤ STOKES CROFT also.

Is using white bar tape acceptable?

never

this sort of thing is common if your using an old chain on a new sprocket but your not so i'm a bit stumped.

Is the sprocket from a 9 speed cassette? If so did you put it on the right way around? Or could you try a different one from that cassette?

This isn't a cheap solution but you could maybe try using a bigger ring and a bigger sprocket so that the chain has more teeth to grip but you have the same ratio.
