Wtf?

Fuck Gabe,
I can't stop looking at this and I think I might have a fit.
Where was the warning?

discopak

i just had a MASSIVE fit.

...Actually no...

Can't see a lockring on the 'fixed' side of this 'flip-flop' hub... if it doesn't have one then lots of people are going to die in nasty skid related accidents.

did you know Lionel Richie sang this song?

Lionel can't dance too well, ceiling or no. The one chick in the white plastic dress can though, even if she only gets three seconds of airtime.

Weird to think Rodney Dangerfield was brought in for this video. The 80s huh.....

Unrelated, but I'm so drunk I almost set the sofa on fire with a roll-up... Don't try this at home, kidz... It's a percentage game you ain't gonna win... And so to bed...

one of my friends just turned up to college with a unipac, needless to say I warned him to watch the wheels.
it is a nice red color though.

Pointless post time. yay!

Good man. Now start a thread about last night's Inside Soap awards or some other shit and you'll have a clean sweep. ;-)

I hope he answers my question.

don't tell him to watch the wheels, tell him to watch out for the large truck turning left

"Take extra care if you smoke when you’re tired, taking prescription drugs, or if you’ve been drinking. You might fall asleep and set your bed or sofa on fire"

Been there...not good

At least they got rid of that stupid line on their ebay listings

"These fixie gear wheel bike are the hippest thing since bread!"

and real Trackies don't ride with a lock ring on their fixed wheel when racing on the track

Real trackies also don't ride with brakes, or risers, or 28c tires and there aren't many post office vans on velodromes. Or traffic lights.

i had the misfortune of having to ride one of the wheels fo about a month and it was abismal, spokes look as hell, heavy, weak. i feared for my life at times. wont be long before everyone else realizes unipacks are not worth the materials theyre made from

Spokes loose? Well, tighten 'em! :)

Tis true though, unipacks don't exactly come with a 'complete set up'. My friend turned up to hyde park on one, with the risers upside down. Full list of errors:

1. Handlebars were loose
   
2. both brake levers were loose
   
3. Headset was loose
   
4. Rear brake was loose
   
5. All but one of the crank bolts were loose, the one that wasn't loose was missing altogether
   
6. Saddle was loose, like so loose it was literally falling off the seatpost (which wasn't loose, but was pointing off 10 degrees to one side)
   
7. Rear tire was almost completely flat
   
8. Chain... guess.
   
9. My friend's fly was also loose.
   
   

Some people should not be trusted with mechanical objects.

Apparently this Pashley is sold out. I saw one yesterday on the Harrow Road, and it was proudly stickered as being £995. The all-chrome effect didn't make it look beautiful, just extremely heavy. A thousand squid for a shiny bike with super slack geometry. Something else (copied) soon to be seen in the Unipak stable?

I actually wonder if the people who buy these actually like cycling?

nah, i was talking with moris who owns de ver, and he saw my lockring and laughed saying when he raced he never used one incase the cog came loose and striped the thread.

Wiggans rides with a lockring.

It's personal preference.

Bradley Wiggins

Paul Weller

Obviously been commented on before!

Especially by the man himself. Paul has always said that he models his look on Bradley.
