Do you know if D.A.M.P. has gone belly up?

do you give warranty in your poles Ale?? polo specific

My poles don't cost 800€.

So, I've managed to bend my DAMP forks in Karlsruhe. Damn. No longer rides straight with no hands and you can visually see one leg veering away from the other.

Anyone got anything 32mm rake and 405 A-C? long shot but anything close would be considered.

The identiti ffx forks are an option at 30mm rake and 425 A-C, how would that change the handling? Would I even notice?

Shit man, that sucks.
But since it's a polo specific bike, don't they give you some sort of warranty on it?

Honest answer, but I have not done any of the actual science (not even weighing them): Milwaukee poles seem to have a thicker wall. All things being equal, the result of this should be obvious. They will be heavier, but stronger. You have to decide what you want from a polo mallet - light vs heavy, strong(er) vs weak(er). Like Lucky does with his heads, maybe you'll find a place for both in your mallet arsenal (I brought one of each to Karlsruhe).

To put things into perspective as to what a weaker shaft means, Lewis from Australia just wrote me to tell me he had just retired his perro del mal(let), which he bought from me before the worlds, after 11 tournaments (and a world tour).....

how do they compare to the gary hand job ones?

Chan and Gabes have both played with the Milwaukee ones and Perro del Mal(let).
Perhaps they could comment on this....
I know I'm biased ;)

just curious, but is there phone signal or wifi courtside?

good question.

Nice one Max!

marathon plus? those last a looooong time.
i'm using michelin city's 26x1.85 and they are pretty good for the price.....

B, is that what I think it is?
can't wait to see in in person!!

Was thinking of buying the truative but the prob with the external BBs is the 51cm chainline, plenty of spacers on the inside of the frewheel? Spline simillar to Octalink?

you can put the spacers on the opposite side of the BB shell to bring that chainline closer to the center...

Polo + karlsruhe + people from across Europe hanging out + 1l beers = win.

So much win in that phrase. +1!

Hahahahahaha!!!!!

I wish you'd done a tourney, would be way more awesome. xoxo

+1
But then again, I haven't played a BM yet and Karlsruhe has some crazy organizational skills.

Have you tried strengthening them with a powerball?

I have little prepubescent girl's wrists and this seemed to help me a lot.....

Spanish are retarded... But you probably already knew that...

+1. Jajajajajaja!

but that is not your OLD polo bike...

yeah! That bike was such a landmark of Bike Polo.
I vote for it to be introduced into the Bike Polo Hall of Fame.

yes i do... yes i do...
anybody wants any?

Do you already have an idea about a ratio for every country? Or the way you gonna use to choose it?

I have an idea of which communities have more weight in Europe. ;)
Since we are very much dependent on the amount of courts, it is useless to open that can of worms at this point.
One thing at a time.

Selection process is the work of every community. Number of teams is the work of organizers. Number of slots per city-country should be a decision made by organizers on the people advices.

agreed

Left Coast.

say whaaaat?

For my part, I think it's really important to set the dates very soon, so that everybody (teams and other tournament organisers) can plan for next year. The sooner we know, the better. And it's obvious that organizing the euro's needs more than two month. Ask Uolmo.

Selection should not be part of the organizers task. They only have to allocate a number of teams for each country. Then, it's up to each country to determine the selection process (city, qualification tournament...).

Like I said, dates are late may, early june. Take 3 weekends on those dates and that's when it'll very likely be. They are location dependent, so I can't confirm the specific weekend yet.

We've been working on the euros since we started the Sexy Polo Beer tournament, so we probably have a better idea than what you might think.

Im off the final list anyways

No, no. Jono is ordering some spares so you can still get them.....

Good.
I'm pretty sure Pique, Aidan, Ray and the other person whom I don't know will be takers.
I'll start preparing the package
