As mentioned, it's pretty much pointless posting a picture. It's brand new, been dry stored out of sunlight. You're saving £15 off shop price because of a little bit of cardboard.

If you insist I'll get a pic tomorrow but I can't get to my camera right now.

Many different ones. Old and new. The Dolan was especially twitchy.

I still can't work out why people spend so much money on Dolan frames. They're no different from every other generic Chinese frame, the carbon frames were rebranded Italian frames. They put their brand on something and the price shoots up. I hated the Dolan I was given to use. BB was so high and the front end really twitchy.

Hella?

You might hang it on your wall as art but you wouldn't ride it for shame.

You could make a Derny bike road legal with lights etc. Only a 50cc engine so I imagine emissions won't be that high.

This is the style I've ridden before. Gearing was something like 100x15. A bit of an arse to start. The style that they have up at Meadowbank seems to have smaller gearing. The above type are good for around 50mph.

That's the only bike I've seen yet which looks good with a non layback seatpost.

I've never managed to do that ^ (fuckyeah face happening here)

I guess so as there's not so many bumps on a track to throw the chain off. But even so it would give you an idea of what to aim for.

On the subject of chain tension... I'm running a Shadow conspiracy 1/8th half-link atm. Since putting it on it seems to have stretched. Twice since tensioning the chain properly it has stretched enough to be slapping against the chainstay. I'm running a 13 on the back so not much to move before it slaps any yet despite the chain being so slack I've never had it come off in 4months. When I pulled the chain out of the box I notice the amount that I could flex it sideways, almost to the point where I would say that a standard 1/8th chain should be thrown in the bin. A strange one.

By dry they mean the grease has dried up. If you're competent enough then you could sort it out yourself. I get the feeling this isn't the case though. Pedals are cheap enough though.

I use my hand to tension the chain. It should 'flop' a little but not much. Find an experienced track rider, try the track league at Herne hill, and ask someone to show you. Track riders often change their gears often so are well versed in tensioning chains.

Your compression will be low until the turbo spools up. But the odd one out is probably the main culprit

So if I get angry with the bike an start hitting then I'm gonna see what is written with this smart water?

Back to the subject: Check all the most common places stolen bikes/parts are found and report it to the police.

Aero spokes may be a waste of money but they sound cool.

Think of each tooth of a chainring/sprocket as a percentage of 10million pounds. 10mil is a shit load of money and yet one percent of 10mil is still a hell of a lot of money.

I hate cars that don't work properly. I don't really care for how dirty it gets but everything has to work and rust is always dealt with.

I much prefer cars 10yrs+ though as they're much easier to fix without spending big £££

You ride two different gears and you wonder why one is harder to ride up a hill?

Seriously. Why does a car have different gears? Think about it now...

But you ride a fixed gear which is a specialist bike.

A bit like being a gamer and not knowing why his computer is too slow for a game

Man rides bikes but doesn't understand gears. This man right here say whut?

Why would riding fixed be any different to riding singlespeed while going uphill? Both are exactly the same while you pedal forward. only difference being is that you can stop pedaling with one.

Brand new. I no longer have the cardboard casing but that's not like it matters. I can post pics but I might as well copy a pic from the Conti website.

£40 posted.

As a reference they're £55 from a shop.

Can do paypal but would prefer bank transfer.

Please explain how the above is relevant to this thread.

The usual way is to start from the ends and work up towards the middle. Means that it doesn't catch and fray when you pull on the drops.
