Get sewing!

Your's shouldn't be much longer i promise....just awaiting your flaps return...:)

er..so teddy gets thanks for my compliment??!!? when I ventured out and said it?!!?!

Let's not throw a tantrum eh....you're old enough to be her dad anyway! ;)

I'm sure there's some closet roadies on here that have spent more than me on bikes..
My S-Works RRP at the moment would be £4500, actual cost to me is more like £3300.

Also some mountain bikers...:)
my big link would cost about £6500 new.
my storck will be worth a fair whack by the time it's done too.
No wonder i'm broke!

It's dales geekhouse frame...with strange dented looking seat tube?..;)

You can find all the information you need here

There's no need to call him names...you don't even know the guy.

ACS Claw freewheels come in 20t and are good quality.

His theory is sound...there's none of this 'having to overcome the big gear' because the transition from pedalling forwards to pedalling backwards instantly cancels out the big gear...only one freewheel is ever driving at once.
The ratios turning at different rates also makes no difference because the freewheel that isn't driving is simply coasting along.
In theory, the fact that he's using two freewheels does infact mean that he will have a big gear for driving and a smaller gear for resisting.

The only problems i see are the strength of the freewheel pawls...finding freewheels with fast enough engagement to limit the spongy feel...being able to get both chains tight...and the constant freewheel noise (which can normally be eliminated by packing with grease.

As for the pedal thread loosening on a drive side crank run on the non drive side...i ran left hand drive profile cranks on the right side of my brooklyn race link for months with no problem....if you're worried, just use a bit of thread lock...although you will need to buy two sets of identical pedals so you can switch one right axle into one left body.

Dylan....two freewheels running opposite to each other will feel basically the same as a fixed wheel....when one is driving,the other is freewheeling....and it will do the same in both directions.

One very important thing to bear in mind is the strength of the pawls inside the freewheel....the amount of force your legs can produce when driving a freewheel will be nothing compared to the force of effectively turning it into a fixed cog and completely locking it up every time you skid.
On a normal freewheel that kind of force is never there because the wheel will just keep spinning faster and the pressure on the pawls will never really get past a certain point.
The pressure on the pawls when forcing it to effectively 'lock up' ,especially from the kind of speeds you're hoping to achieve will be increased by a very significant amount.

During one particularly dark time in scotland...i went out on my bike late at night to clear my head...the roads were unlit so just my light lit up the road ahead...my head was spinning with far too many things on my mind....i was heading down a tree lined road with the rain coming down...suddenly out of the woods by the side of the road a deer jumps out right in front of me...scared the life out of me. I slowed down and it stops....turns...and looks straight at me for a few seconds as if he was telling me something. Suddenly my mind cleared and i smiled at the deer...he then leapt over the hedge on the other side of the road and disappeared into the night.
I think i probably fed off that moment for a week or so.
Chance encounters with animals always seem to have an effect on me.

It's the little moments and gestures that make the biggest difference.
Nice story Corny.

See now if you're gonna correct people mr '100' , THAT'S the way to do it...:)

Trying to look more clever than you actually are requires more knowledge than you obviously possess.
When you've only been a member of this forum for one week it's never a good idea to be a...oh what's the phrase i'm looking for? oh yeah...that's it.

If you 'were' sorry you wouldn't be correcting my grammar.
If i want my posts correcting i'll marry an english teacher...and if i want to carry on i'll do it regardless.

Write out '100' times...'I should stop trying to police forums and think of something more interesting to write'

good bike

but the stem is too long and seat is a too far forward

It's not your bike...so how do you know the stem is too long and the seat is too far forward?

Now if i was to say that your frame is too small and your seatpost was too long....that would be different!
