me - which brakes should you use to perform an emergency stop?

trainee - er... both?

me - quite right

trainee - why did your bike didn't have brakes?

me - because I'm a bad ass motherfucker.

Repped

I know two people who cannot cycle now due to falling onto their lock, one did it when he was really pissed.. Easily done.

I understand this, and personally speaking I would say....

TBH If you fall of a bike in traffic in london, a lock munching into your spinal column is the least of your worries, the 134 bus or that well known black minicab taxi coming right at you will be your last & only problem. also HTFU.

When Foffa came along and sold "Fixies" with no foot retention and no brakes people went mental about how dangerous it was. Just because this product can be colour coordinated with your wheelset does not make it a good idea. It is just as unsafe as riding one of Foffas finest.

As a designer could you live with yourself if you sold something as the "first wearable lock" and that product caused even just one person to not be able to cycle again.

Terrible Idea.

I know people do wear locks round their waist, but I think promoting it with a product like this is irresponsible. Has the designer thought of the damage that that lock would cause to the spine and surrounding areas if one where to fall off and land on it.

People may wear Abus locks around their waist, but if the lock were to paralyse them due to landing on it after falling they could not sue as the product is not marketed as a "wearable lock".

However selling a product as a wearable lock is asking for trouble as if one where to fall off the bike you would be able to sue if any more damage was caused by the lock, then just the plain old floor.

Just my 2 cents.

How about those Chinese carbon deep sections. You can get the clincher ones for 60quid plus postage. think it works out at 80. 32 rear 28 front something like that?

You know I was thinking about that, didn't SmallFury get some for his BMC build? anyone know how he went about it? and complaints etc?

Yeah I was looking into Kinlin Rims, I was leaning towards the xr-380 though. although they are not easy to get hold of and are machined.

I don't really fancy Novatec hubs, had them break after 9 months light use before, also don't like the weinmann rims he stocks

You don't often see them on ebay, but will have a look for them.

Hah, yeah yeah I know, but nothing wrong with a little indulgence...

would ideally like something slightly more upmarket then CXP30's and on-one hubs. Oh and Clinchers.

I have a track build coming along and have come to a head scratcher on a wheelset, This is the frame, I have a black saddle, stem and cranks, so want a black wheelset.

I figure that to go with the frame they need to be deep section, but I don't want to have naff rims, i.e. velocity V's, doddicis, H+SONS etc..

Any ideas of a good rim-hub combo? The rims have to come in black and ideally aren't machined. The hub doesn't have to be black though.

Budget is around £200 for hubs and rims, as I have access to free spokes.

Ideally the set will be light, relatively durable and atleast 30mm deep.

Oh and Clincher

Cheers
