There's nothing inherently bad about chinese carbon rims because lots of very high end bikes have them on them. But unknown carbon could potentially be catastrophic.

I'm interested, regardless.

As an aside, is there any evidence that segregation is actually safer or less safe in and of itself?

I can't help feeling it's more about people THINKING it makes you safer, thus encouraging more people to start cycling, and any net safety increase coming from increased cyclists on the roads.

They says it's mandatory, but you're still allowed to not ride on it.

'Mandatory Cycle Lanes' means motorists aren't allowed to drive in them, not that cyclists have to stay in them.

I am long of the upper body and find Pearl Izumi stuff to often be good for me.

Are people going tonight? I'm free for the first time in ages and want to get out!

I know a few people with boats round that way, I'll ask around too.

A thought I've had for future builds - disc on the front, rim brake on the rear. Means you can have whatever frame you want, just need disc forks, and I guess a touch lighter than dual discs - whilst still giving you stopping power in the wet.

T1 looks pretty functional

And ugly.

I think that seatpost might be a tiny bit past the limit.

Also hello I'm not there am I. I had no idea it was thursday already. Hahahafml

You know murtle gets all his leather from humans, right?

The guy on the bike had plenty of room,any decent rider could see that,he had a camera and probably had a youtube opportunity.Which is his shtick.

I'm not sure how under two feet could ever be considered 'plenty of room'.

What's with all the hating on Gareth? Guy admits where he's wrong, and having followed his youtube videos he's stated he doesn't confront drivers any more and hasn't done in over a year.

Funny they didn't show any of these videos he does: http://www.youtube.com/user/sillycyclists

The taxi driver he had the altercation with that they interviewed looked a prize plum though - "i'd already overtaken him, why'd he hit my taxi?" err, if you HAD already overtaken him then he wouldn't have been able to ... oh, never mind.

(full disclosure, I have met the guy and he's a good bloke)

I shall politely state that I do not believe that this bike is in any way porn.

For some reason I actually kind of like the custom paint job.

Shame that combined with everything else it looks a total dogs dinner.

Sorry I haven't been able to read through the full ten pages yet, but wondered if anyone can help with a spoke length dilemma.

I've got a Ventura coaster brake hub which I want to build to an old Van Schothurst 26" mtb rim off an ageing Raleigh Alaska for pubtasticness, however neither of these can I find any info for on spocalc.

It seems it wants pretty serious sub-mm measurements. Any ideas how I can work out appropriate spoke length?

yeah, he's talented and stuff, but that's a really bad idea and the build is so anti-.
love the trike though.

Disagree. Cockpit is a bit odd and he needs to lose the stickers but I think it looks pretty damn nice.

Looking for a coaster brake hub for a project if anyone has one?

Inside a 26" wheel would be ideal, but I see others asking the same and not getting any luck, so within anything at all would be fine.

There'd been a lot of talk of this on the cyclechat forum when members who use cams were getting requests for their footage. IIRC a fair number of them pulled permission when the researchers they were in communication with used terms like 'war', and had to change the rights usage on their videos to Creative Commons so they couldn't use them without their permission.

This programme will be a fucking shitshow that will only seek to create animosity and make cyclists less safe.

what

I'll be there, although without bike as it's here with me at my mum's house in High Bloody Barnet right now and I cannot be fucked to ride all the way down there in this weather, at rush hour.

Annoyingly I will also be there in cycling shoes and no coat because I didn't bring anything else with me, the twat.

I may be up for this, depending on things currently beyond my control n all that.

Would 37mm semi-slick hybrid tyres be ok or would something bigger and knobblier be appropriate?

The amount of wrong going on with that bike is giving me the fear.

On my way.

u ho haz drilled the tube?

No. I need someone who actually knows what the fuck they are doing around powered tools (i.e. not me) who I can shirk responsibility on to.
