Stick an old Sturmey Archer hub on the back, those things last forever and a couple of gears would be useful if you're carrying a lot and freewheeling down hills would save some energy.

Not one of the new Chinese ones though. My everyday commuter bike has a modern SA 3-speed coaster hub and in two years I've already had to spend more than it's original cost on maintenance.

I was coming downhill like a badman this evening with an internal smirk as I steamed past the static traffic. The same stillness in the vehicles convinced a ped it was okay to cross the street without looking and she appeared in front of me. I braked and slowed but we still collided hard enough to put us both on the ground. My first reaction was to ask "What the fuck are you doing you stupid cunt?!", she said "Why are you swearing at me?" and I responded that it was because she was a "fucking imbecile" and insisted that she "jog on" 'cause I've heard people say that.

Wow, that isn't a very nice way to react to having hurt someone at all.

If you were going on the outside of the traffic, then she was probably looking in the direction that she was expecting traffic to be coming from i.e. not the opposite direction that you were coming from.

I once hit a pedestrian when filtering on the outside of stationary traffic - managed to slow down to not hit her hard but my momentum still left me headbutting her in the ear quite hard. I felt terrible - if anyone was to be called a cunt it was me, certainly not her.

Oh yes and there is the matter of the fact that some members may have spent enough time away from their bicycles to have aquired some form of partner, and so may be doing valentines stuff with them.

LFGSS singles night anyone?

Will this be on this week what with it being valentines day and all that? Expect the pub will be full of miserable couples pissed off with each other about not booking anywhere decent in time.

You shouldn't be doing this.

Unless you want to make a wholly brand new design that doesn't use the logo, in which case go ahead.

But I've an order for 250 in the works (as in, already submitted, using the existing grosgrain ribbon, waiting for factory samples of the new version before the full production run proceeds).

Any chances of larger heads being catered to?

Oh and thankyou Branwen.

reddit.com/r/fixedgearbicycle has become a fucking joke and an absolute goldmine for anti of late.

Hello I'm too lazy to go through the last 30-odd pages, so could someone give me a link to a photo of the hat?

How hilly is the iow out of interest? Wondering if my 3 speed would be appropriate.

In other news I'm getting my crack welded tomorrow.

Oh shit is it Thursday already?

it sounds like a huge slick .... is part of the same slick thats coating guillemots in the english channel ?

Their last album was rubbish anyway.

You take that back.

Recently bought some new pads to replace the stock pads that came with my front 105 brake, and having serious trouble removing the old pads.

I've removed the grub screw just fine, and apparently the old ones should just slide out - except they will not budge. Tried getting a screwdriver in there to push it, but only succeeded in ripping the pad slightly - it's like they are glued into place.

Can anyone suggest a solution?

Thanks!

I'm in tonight, providing I don't get blown off on the way.

This is not weather for spoks.

(I own no spoks)

Looking for some riser bars as getting everywhere on track drops is getting a little tedious. Anyone have any they are looking to dispose of?

Thanks!

EBay make reporting very difficult these days. They really don't nor want to give a fuck they just want their cut.

I thought police rode white police branded Treks? Been seeing a lot of popo around West London today riding black Spesh Hardrocks. Supply issues leading to the met having to pop into Evans?

The shit people post in Reddit and then other people say hey sweet ride bro fuck the haters.

I mean seriously.

After a MTB for a current project to replace the ghastly Raleigh Alaska I'm currently using!

Anything 17"-19" in size is fine, only definite requirements are:

1. Must be horizonal dropouts as it'll be running a coaster hub.

2. Must be made of something at least slightly better than hi-tensile gas pipe.

If you have anything at all I'm interested! :)

And now you see it too.

Big droopy purple dildo dick forks.

I might - might - make it on thursday. Do you still want a good drilling round the back of the pub jezston?

I'm afraid I won't be able to make it this week! But bring your equipment next week and I'll be more than happy to let you shove it in my crack.

£500 for a decent but unremarkable steel frame? Nah.

^ Sounds pretty exciting.

I had a nice 50km ride to the north of Nairobi this afternoon, in a partially cloudy 24°C. Got a bit hot, opened my jersey up. Wasn't missing the UK one bit until the final kilometer when the front wheel went unexpectedly deep into a big gravelly dip in the road, while doing only about 8mph, which caused the bike to nose-dive forwards to an almost complete stop. The emergency jumping maneuver that followed narrowly saved me driving my head face first into gravel.

It's all down to the unique way that the Kenyans fix roads by just filling massive potholes with gravel and hoping for the best. There's no Kiswahili word for "to maintain", only the word for "to fix", which is telling.

What's it like riding in Nairobi?

I have a friend over there and was thinking of going with my bike some time, but was advised I'd likely get run over in the city by don't give a fuck traffic or chased and eaten by cheetahs should I dare venture into the country.

Looked like one snooze!

Ps - not good news on the night with the adverse comments by a male Westie who doesn't subscribe to the diversity & equality rules of life.

A put down because female & from another country deserves a kick in the goolies or worse!

I hope said person reads this and stops to think very hard........

Being there that night did I miss something? I hope I didn't drunkedly say something stupid.
