Self-fulfilling team name... :( James - have we got immune/innoculated subs??

What time do we need to arrive tomorrow?

I am in, sorry I have only just said!!

Anyone got a spare Avid SD7 v-brake lever, sparkly graphite with the red adjusting knob?

Emma's broken the end off the lever blade of one of hers.

Portentous...

Please head for Herne Hill for a v prompt 9.30 start - I'll post the running schedule and format shortly. We're going to have a few gazebos to shelter under, but bring a waterproof in case it does rain, and bring snacks and beers as although there are shops in HH, they're not that close to the velodrome. DON'T FORGET TO DRESS UP. If you're a sub, dress up as whatever you want.

Ok, here's the running schedule - it's a bit ambitious with the timing, so likely that after 3 rounds will go straight to final. Please will someone bring a whistle and stopwatch...

Can i just come dressed like i'm going to die of a mystery illness called 'going out with pickles, the night before.' Either that or someone please bring make up so that I can look like I have the BBonicPlague.

I got a pair of SD5, with the same type adjuster. Left lever blade slightly bent, but it looks like the blades are interchangeable. I'll bring 'em.

The pivot on the SD7 levers looka like a rivet, I couldn't see an obvious way to dismantle them.

The lever blade also has extra bits where the cable is secured, the red knob moves the end relative to the pivot.

Oh, I thought I'd signed up too late and so wouldn't have a team: I can't come now so, sorry Antonio, Día de Muertos will have to manage without.

Tournament looks good though, congrats to the COMM.

You tease!

Mines got like a little circlip holding that pivot, & the same adjustment you describe.

beers maybe...

Can anyone bring these things: balls, stopwatch, chalk..?
