ride from ropner park stockton, tonight at 6 pm meet at the bandstand

Rides this week, possible tuesday or thursday night, from near stockon police station, splash area
Im free anytime after half four, any good for any one?

there is a fixed gear riders on teeside page on facebook, something me and two mates set up a while back, theres about 8 of us on it, its a private group so if you drop me a pm i'll sort it.

i've rode the circuit at prissick.
Its pretty good, fairly short and flat though, on thursdays there is an organised training session ran by a friend of mine, i believe the coaching comes with a fee, which wont be too expensive.
The session is gunna be quick so i dont think turning up on brakeless fixie's will get us very far!
If anyone is interested in getting some serious coaching (road bikes or cx bikes with slicks only im afraid) then pm me and i will sort you with the guys email address.
Anyone who is going to be up for a ride next thursday night pm me and we'll do this via facebook, much easier to catch people on there is all.

What does everyone think about thursday nights?

Bloody hell, 52:16? i used to have that as my max gear on my race bike.
My other road bikes had normal cassettes on like but youth races require naf gears.
I run 42:16, don't see the need for anything much more, maybe a little taller for faster riding, or shorter for wheelies etc but i get 30mph out of that no bother.

I was thinking pretty casual, especially for the first few, and once everyone gets to know each other we could get two rides a week in? One fairly brisk the other more a prat about in a smooth car park or something?

Can anyone do week nights? Im not in teeside on a weekend so can't make weekend rides, but if anyone can make it a week night ride would be great

sorry for starting this thread and then not replying!
Sounds good to me about the middlesbrough meet, for stockton riders how about meeting outside the big libary near the police station?

Now then everyone, desperately need to get some rides going asap, what days/ times are good for anyone?
Lets try get something decent sorted.

42:16 can get over 30mph if i push it, was going to increase it but i don't like to ever have to push a gear below 75-80rpm unless climbing

Hi,
i've got an old handbuilt road frame, 531 tubing and while out riding yesterday some bloke decided it'd be a great idea to park his trek madone on top of it
Long story short there is now a dent in the seat stay at the joint of where the back brake would normally go, its a fair size dent and seems to have deformed the seat stay a little, should i be worried about the strength of the frame or is it likely to be okay?
will try and get some photos uploaded asap if it helps.
thanks

Just completed a fixie frame and forks and a bmx frame forks bars and cranks, been riding them for a couple of weeks and they've both held up well, the fixie doesn't have any clear coat on either and surprisingly its holding up well, took me a good while to get all the paint off but the finish is unbelievably good

Im from stockton and ride fixed, know of a few lads who do also, should get a meeting up in middlesbrough or something?

I've got a flat crown chrome 27" fork, very tidy apart from a little bit of bubbling at the dropouts
