which bit of the ceiling bukkake party above is the 'according to plan' bit?
Well done, there is a chance that you'll need to put more air in over the next few days, and Conti tyres (race king maybe, I can't remember) can weep out of the side walls in a rather alarming fashion. Did you do both tyres or was one enough for now?

I've done it plenty of times. Cut the tube to size before you fit the tyre, not the trimming it after technique as this makes the tyre seat badly.
Slit the tube to around the width of the valve, so it looks like rim tape with a valve attached. fit it, it'll be fairly tight, and then run around the edges of the cut up tube with some Duck / Elephant / Gaffer waterproof tape. Wang a cup of sealant in there and pump like a mutha. I use a CO2 cartridge to get enough pressure to seal, but sometimes a merciless attack of track pump is adequate.
You'll hear leaks, probably from all around the rim, splash a little soapy water onto the outside of the tyre and you'll see bubbles where the leaks are. Hold the wheel leak-downwards and give it a swoosh about, the sealant will seal the leak pretty quickly. Keep wanging more air in, it'll keep losing pressure until you've got sealant into all the leaks. The best way to get it to seal is to keep it moving, so go for a little local ride, not too far as you might be walking home.
I'd do one tyre at a time, it can be very frustrating. Some will say not to use CO2 as it makes the sealant 'go off' faster, but you'll be adding a lot of track pump air in addition, so sucks to them. Also it's a stinky greenhouse gas.
Good luck, it's a messy job, but I've not had a puncture for a couple of years.

Nightmares of corrosive dribble-slime? Hankering after off-world mercinary encounters? Bike lacking that diabolical (and slightly used) finishing touch? Just add a little Alien-esque Je ne sais quoi to your whip with the cunning addition of my Cinelli Alter stem.

This very stem was previously used for around 6 weeks from new by my mate Wayne, a chubby Northern chap, which adds very little by way of provenance. 120mm was too long for him, and it's too long for me, so here it is, after languishing on a shelf for many-a-year this 1" steerer / 26mm bar beauty is now available for a limited time only to LFGSS.
There are a few marks to the side logos, I've tried to show them as well as possible, and you can see where the top cap has been fitted, but that'll be covered with a new top cap (not included).



I've not got the box for this, or the inverse shim necessary to make it fit a 1 1/8" steerer. £30 delivered by facehugger.

wait! another method I've used. Remove the axle.
Get a nail, cut it so that it just fits across the diameter and wedges firmly into the notches. Grab the nail with pliers and twist it, maybe use molegrips or even wedge a tiler's hammer in there for mega leverage. the nail forms the opposite of the slot in a slotted screw.
Sorry, I can't do you a pic, but this is worth a go.

i searched the dnp freewheel removal tool on google. Park recommend this one, though it only has 4 splines they are narrow they will fit into every second one of the notches that are visible around the edge. Apparently.
I've managed to remove a few of these using wd40 and a fat old screwdriver + hammer to tap the inner bit of the mechanism round.

this will do it, but £.
http://www.sjscycles.co.uk/park-tool-fr8c-bmx-screw-on-freewheel-remover-prod12958/otherwise utilise WD40 followed by a wholehearted bashing with a screwdriver against the notches. Has your lbs got the correct tool you could borrow before this rampant assault?

"Turn heads and reclaim that weekend podium. Vogueing has always been assosiated with the fashionista and gay elite. A style of dance that evolved out of the New York ballroom scene in the 1960s. As the name implies, the posing is inspired by Vogue magazine but the dance also combines different angular and rigid arm, leg and body movements.
The class is open to all abilities and no previouse experience is needed to attend.*
The first class will be an introduction to all the different elements of vogueing. We'll go through the different styles of posing, learn how to walk properly on the runway, work on some hand and arm technique, 'Shade' the life out of each other and if some of you want to go real crazy, we might try some dips and drops! (future classes will focus on all of these elements individually).
Wear what you would wear going out, girls and boys bring heals if you feel like it and just look fierce!"
Class is run by some 'utter bulb' named Reme. Is the surname Dial? Well Reem. Keep it foolish.


definitely Hookers and coke mayhem for my ideal wayto go. Sadly my fairly clean lifestyle men's this is unlikely to happen.but maybe that's a good thing.
