say hi if u see me around london

few questions

is there any adaptor for this kind of valve?
my pump only works with normal presta and schrader

what kind of lock ring does royce rear hub take?
i was trying to fit my old one on, but the thread didn't seem to match

thanks

congrats, you must be a rich man... i won't ever think about locking this bike anywhere!!!! you sure you're going to do that?
lucky you, a royce hub, unfortunately i'm not sure what lockring it takes but assuming that it's made in the UK it must be english threading?

Gorgeous !

is this for riding round the streets of london?

You're going to ride hed wheels in London?! Madness!

Look's great though.

eeehhhh You're going to ride hed wheels in London?! Madness!

Look's great though.

Are Hed wheels a bad idea for London ?

Is it the low spoke count or the carbon rims which would be a problem ???

if i tell you, you'll change your name into a full stop.

Watch it or I will give you a portion of what the last fella got.

I was thinking perhaps the carbon is in danger on chipping (?) - but - as it has been conclusively proven on this forum - what the fuck do I know about wheels.

ooooof. Nice bike. Wouldn't leave that locked up anywhere in London though.

Hutch ooooof. Nice bike. Wouldn't leave that locked up anywhere in London though.

I wouldn't leave that locked up anywhere on earth !

Calm yourself.
I'm just joking.

I think I will have a piece of toast, a hot bath and a shit, maybe not in that order.

at least get out of the bath before the last part!

DDM at least get out of the bath before the last part!

It's not the shit I am worried about:

Nice. Very nice. Personally I would want to use that bad boy on the track and have another bike for the street but as long as you enjoy it and ride it lots thats all that matters.

Bingo !

Yep, ride it to death, just remember everyone who posts on this forum will be dead at the same time, so ride that bike and make sure they bury you with it.

I'm pretty sure thats not a valve as such.
Its just an extender, a brass tube that screws onto the threads that usually hold the dust cap on the presta below.
I'm guessing there tubs on it, like glued on thres? The extender is put on to get you through the deep section Heds.
I think a schrader should fit on to it.
Its a pretty pikey way to do it, as you can never screw the presta tight. I have conti tubs and extenders, with contis system you unscrew the valve core put in the extender piece, then put the valve core back at the end. Much better.
I've just re-read that and its very confusing.
Hope it helps.

thats a really nice bike, but it might look odd on the street, because everything about it says track, maybe flip the bars to a set of risers and ourys then it will just scream street ride.

is that a hershey front hub?

flickwg thats a really nice bike, but it might look odd on the street, because everything about it says track, maybe flip the bars to a set of risers and ourys then it will just scream street ride.

Yeah, and stick some deep Vs on there and some gears.

tell him then

the valve thing is an extender. i got some monster 52mm valve tubes for my deep v's, but don't think they will be long enough for those!
