WANTED:
-rear coaster brake
-32-38c tyres
-silver platform pedals

ta.
could you post skulls?
i am in nottingham at the mo..

does this have a coasterbrake in it?

what's it like to ride?

any pics of it matey?

yeah i was tempted by the polished silver deep v wheelset he does, but was wondering if anyone had anything a bit cheaper..

a cheap 36h coaster hub would do as well..

am i allowed to bump a wanted thread?

if not, sorry.

if so, bump.

hey folks,

title says it all really, i'm looking for a cheap wheelset or rear wheel with a coaster brake.

would need it posted to nottingham or be within 20 miles or so of here.

thanks

yep thanks for your help everyone, managed to get it done

No need for improvement on this design... http://www.cycloc.com/

Now, what would be really good would be secure bike parking / bike lockers which people could rent from the local authority - turn some resident's car parking bays over to resident's bicycle parking. Design a means of persuading local authorities that it would be a good idea; now there's a challenge.

ah but it's £60, not ideal for students..

and yeah youre defo right there about the bike parking thing, if this was a longer term project i'd probably look into something like that

I think that a tweak here or there of the pedal hanger would do, for the reasons you mentioned - they stick too far into the room, as there's clearance for very wide flat bars. They should have done a shorter one for drops/narrow bars. As for marks on Walls, a black paint stripe would fix that, cos yeah it's not ideal.

Please, say college or university. Just not 'Uni'. It makes you sound really fucking young... Oh wait...
#oldguypretendinghe'snot...

well i'm only 19, most people call it uni dont they? as for tweaking current products, it definitely works, but not every bike owner is gonna want to do that or be able to do that.. i think there's definitely still a market for a design that works out the box

again, thanks for the comments, but im not trying to design a new product, i just want to know people's opinions on currently available ones?
ta

how about saying that MOST current racks on a student budget dont offer any other functions, or arent aesthetically pleasing.

yeah that's probably true, but it's not a case of the budget, it's more about making maximum use of the limited space in a student's digs (or a small city apartment)

No need for a new design. These are the bestest.

would this cause dirty tyres to rest on the wall though?

We've got the rule "Blood in, blood out".
Once in my stable, there's no easy way of leaving it.

cheers for the pics, what would you say could improve those designs though? like if it was your ideal bike rack, what would be different? or what makes them better than other ones?
ta

okay i'll be the first to admit i have not organised this well, if at all lol.

the thing is im not trying to design a new product, i just have to write what is wrong (or right) with the old ones, so if anyone has used any and has anything to say about them i would appreciate it.

the pedal hanger one looks good but im guessing the tyres lean against the wall, no good on a dirty bike?

and thanks for input so far, most of it is useful :)

hi everyone, i need your help!
i'm at nottingham trent uni currently doing research for a project. basically i have to write a report explaining why a new product needs to be designed, and ive chosen a bike rack to go in the home (student/city apartment with restricted space), so what i basically need to do is get everyone's opinions on what the advantages/disadvantages for the current designs on the market are, so here's a few of the best sellers.. any chance you could write what's good/bad about each one if you've used them..

i know a lot of designs are duplicated across companies, but i want to get an idea of what is good/bad about each design.

the sort of things i was thinking of were like some cause the pedals/tyres to touch the wall, damaging it etc.. or it protrudes too far into the room. that sort of thing..

so yeah, just write the number, then write something good or bad about the design, please :)

thanks in advance

:)

sorry saddle is sold now, will re-update my first post..

stuff still available, prices dropped, will consider offers..

yeah i just figured it was from ages ago so assumed it would be okay to bump it, okay no worries :)
