Thanks!

Hey recently bought a lo-pro. It's great but it came with tubs on both wheels rear is Mavic Gel 280 and front is cx18. I'm thinking eventually I'm going to get a flat and tubs are going to be a right pain.
So was wondering if I should just fork out for a new clincher front wheel (have suitable rear ones already) or if there was anyway to turn the existing wheel tubeless?
Any thoughts greatly appreciated! Ready to recieve quite a bit of stick if this is an outrageous question!

This is a beauty, although not cheap!

My friend recently had two bikes stolen from his garage, was wondering if people could keep an eye out around Oxford.

A blue Cannondale R500 with triple chainwheel and tri-bars, and a Marin Bobcat Trail - all the info I was given, can probably get more specific info if needed..

Photos uploaded not the best i realise but all I was given.

They were very unhelpful, basically said they don't give them away once they've taken them.

I've seen a bike which i'd quite like with an abandoned bike notice on, does anybody know how i can get it instead of the council just scrapping it?

I realise i could just angle-grind the lock but was hoping there was a slightly more legit way to do it.

Cant make it sorry, am in exeter!

Having said i'll try harder next time, i've already failed! I cant come, but the week after.....

sorry, couldnt make it in the end, next week i'l try harder!!

Oxpints this week? I might be able to pop down...

Hey Dan,

Would probably be up for that, dependant on timings really but after 2 should be fine.

Jase, we play every thursday 6-8ish hopefully when a few more people have "polo bikes" we can play later in marston but till then we rely on the ocw ones. Come down if you fancy it next thursday.

Rang PPS and they told me they wouldnt powder coat bike frames! bit strange but oh well.

They go to cherwell school, are in lower 6th called Sam and Ted. Know sam fairly well have met ted a few times. Sam has a brown SE lager and Ted just bought a new lo-pro might have seen it on blog. If you want to get in touch they would be more than happy ot i reckon, facebook is probably easiest. facebook Sam stokes.
I'll tell him to check here.

Hey,
What bike are you getting? What type of riding do you want to do, any idea of rough distances?

you can borrow my bike if im down there.

2nd dibs for a friend

it's for polo and i just thought a tensioner might get broken in polo?

Hey, does anyone know if you can have multiple "magic gears"? I know that 32-19 works (with a half link) but i can't get hold of a 19t freewheel.
Is it likely that there is another ratio that will work?
(Oh also i cant get the calculator to work, so i can't check)

no sorry i need a 19t.

I just bought a bike for polo, it has vertical drop outs and so requires a 19t freewheel.
I didn't realise but 19t is quite rare and very hard to get hold of!
Does anyone have one? Will buy or swap for a 16.

Is this gone? if not i'll take it!

hey guys,
I know this is probably a bit of an unrealistic ask and i'll end up having to build one up, but does anyone have a cheap (under £60) polo bike or beater that i can buy.
My current polo bike is terrible, bent dropouts, a rear mech that doesn't quite fit so likes to pop off and a buckled rear wheel!
I can probably pick up depending on location.
Cheers John

i don't know exactly but i think you could go down the woodstock road to city center, then down st. Aldates and on to the abingdon road. Just before the park and ride turn left towards Radley and kennington. If you cycle down that road continuously then i think you should be able to get to Abingdon then culham and then i'm not sure how you get from Culham to Didcot.

Hope this helps sorry for the vagueness of the directions

so very tempted by the polo bike as mine is completely fucked! but as the story always seem to be im broke!
