I was wearing wool today and i now smell like a wet sheep, arguably a pleasant hum but a hum none the less. It seems to me the answer to my question is simple, yet expensive.

I have a piece of shit freestyle bike I have built up to see if I enjoy that type of riding and am currenlty running fixed on a ss hub, I use another cog, added advantage of storage. I have ridden another bike like this on the road and found if it loosened it only loosened a bit at a time, start to feel play, tighten it up. Install both with rotafix method. Still having said that, you are still better off with a fixed hub, get one.

I am not to bothered about looking wet, just lycras aren't appropriate, that swrve stuff looks right the ticket. I now just need to replace my entire wardrobe with their products.

I use my bike for work daily, having said that I have an office job. I sit at my desk, then get on my bike, get wet, sometimes see "customers", get back into the office, sit at my desk being damp and uncomfortable, then get back on my bike still damp, this makes me very cold it makes me chafe and if this repeats a few times in a day I start to smell like mildew. My question being; is there any technical cycling gear that is appropriate for english winters, is reasonably presentable (not a shirt and tie kind of office) and dries out reasonably quickly on a body (mine). I dislike waterproof as I just get very sweaty under them and would ideally like to have only one set of clothes per day (at most). I realsie I may be asking a bit much from the fabrics of 2010.

I have had trouble with a left crank and this is exactly how it sounds/feels. Also though i have had a much more sinister problem! do not assume your bb shell is 68mm, if you have not checked it could be 73 or 71, I would imagine that at 73 you would notice but at 71 a 68 will fit in and seem fine although the cup side (assuming you have only one cup on this bb) becomes slightly wobbly and creaky even though the cup is in nice and tight. (this would happen on the side with a cup, which I believe is always the non-drive side, therefore left) if this is the case, DONT RIDE ON IT, you will ruin your bb shell thread and then you have a large pain in the arse to deal with, incedentaly if anyone knows of/has a 71mm threadless BB, i'm in the market. best of luck, hope it's your crank.

I've been sorted out.

thanks guys pajamas called me and he had one.

I have got into a bit of a picklehaving built up a bike I wanted to be riding tomorrow only to find I have misjudged the seat post size the frame takes a 27.2 and am lacking. are there any bike shops open this late on a monday in or around Hackney or is there someone who is willing to sell me a 27.2 seatpost tonight?

I know the chances are slim but if someone has a 27.2 seat post they are willing to part with for some cash around E8, I would be very gratefull. I need this tonight as I have foolishly over-eye-estimated the size of a seat post and have a nearly complete build that I would love to be riding for work tomorrow.

Having bought this rather lovely frame, I need some tyres that will fit into the extremely close clearances, if anyone can point me in the direction of a thread or a recomendation would be greatly appreciated

I offered to trade this guy what he wanted, a wheel and a tyre for an inner and a tyre, he Pm'd back saying great i'll tet when i'm near or something and never did. Hit by a bus riding on a wheel with no tube?

If you really want to trade a wheel and tyre for a tyre and a tube I will oblige. PM on the way

can finish work at 4, whenever suits you.

i would love to see this frame, possibly a bit big for me, if not i will take it. i'm in dalston, happy to meet all over the place. pm on it's way.

Hi is this still for sale? If so can you please measure the top tube, I don't know what small means.

this post got me interested in unicycles but for 50 quid there are newer shinier better lookinging uni's elsewhere, a may take it for a better price

if this isn't snapped up tomorrow i will get paid and want it.

I live and work in dalston and am about to cycle back from work to home at such an ungodly hour that the scallies will be in full force and now i'm shiting bricks even tough this hasn't happened to me in the many years i have been here, however i know people similar things have happened to and i sort of agree with trebek, it hasn't increased teh scalliness of the scally but it has increased the worth of being a scally.

It is actually 56, i miss typed, slightly longer than tall though, i'll measure the TT if you wanted

i have found a vice works pretty good to remove a freewheel, but not if you want to use the freewheel again. fw in the vice and turn the wheel like a pirate. I have to agree with Jeez, tools are expensive and there are a lot you may end up needing only once, but doing your own bikes is great fun and improves your understanding of how your bike works which is never a bad thing

got a 58cm puch frame, needs some love (respray) it's on Ebay at the moment search puch prince. start price £20 don't think it'll get much above that

nice one, the first season intro was filmed in the public place me and my friends drank in when we were too young for public houses

I've been lurking for a few months/ posting for a few weeks but havn't yet done the formal "My name is Rono and I love bikes"

I live and work in E8. i ride a black mystery frame (lugging suggests Mercian) with deep red deatiling on luggs and brown chrome tipped forks. I'd love to get involved in some of the rides and eventually the races. I look forward to meeting like minded fellows.
