yep requires a new hub.

luckily i have a new wheel in the post already so i can get back on the langster in a week or so.

thanks for the link, looks like a good dirty cheap hub. gives me an excuse to build a wheel too.

im hearing tuesday for polo? guess ill be running a suicide setup for that!

bummer dude. single speed polo in the dark going to be interesting. forgot about the other wheel though, good news. that hub looks fairly plausible for the money i reckon - may well purchase one myself for the new machine

i cant get my sprocket on.... :*(

well im out for a ride after my stir fry wanna join me?

if i had a working bike i would pete!

think im just gonna buy that hub matt posted and get a wheelbuild. hopefully have both bikes running by the weekend!

next project: the phil thomas city racer!

Really great to see the community growing in my home town. I'm back for a few days next week, but bikeless unfortunately.

When are you back? could come to polo on tuesday, i think ill be bikeless this week too.

alright guys, i'm gonna try and pull my finger out and get out on my bike one night this week. I was down at rcyb this morning getting new stem and bars so hopefully i'll be up and running again with a new setup in no time !!

So, polo tomorrow? What time you wanna meet?

Im gonna just put and old sprocket on an old wheel really tight with no lockring and hope it holds.

Should be ok Phil, just as long as you don't try any skids, otherwise it's coming straight off! I'm in for polo, obviously earlier the better as still haven't got a full set of lights yet. Can just about get there for 6:30 if anyone else can make it...

gosy park again then is it?

6.30 in't park it is.

Good night, even if no polo was played. We got some pipe for polo mallet. Blue 50mm diameter. Here is Peter getting it home..

So, who is up for a ride on Thursday?

quality 'find' boys, obviously went home too early. just replaced my smashed mallet head with the old stuff but look forward to trying that

Haha! class. What are the chances!?

yo,
what time you thinking of cycling thursday?
i live in newcastle, but am working in gateshead till 9.15

Alreet, we usually do 7pm mate but sure we can work something out sooner or later. Planning some proper night rides in the near future. Watch this space...

i think i am going to be able to make the ride on thursday.

paul will you be riding straight from work? maybe we could meet a bit later about 8ish and hang around/meet you at 9?

btw i cut down that pipe and have about 10 spare mallet heads, if anyone wants one i can bring it tomorrow night?

i want to be a full member.... there

what time are we riding tomorrow then? I can come out for a bit but ive got to head off at about 8.45pm.

Ideally earlier rather than later as have a date with the pub.

By the way. Spotted, a guy on a fixie at blue house roundabout, nearly crashed into my car. Think he was wearing a suit and cycle cap and had a really low gear on. Or did I just imagine it?

sounds pretty odd! what bike was it?

pretty much any time is fine for me tomoro.
