click the button that has a little pic of a mountain and put the image address in the box that pops up. But I don't think blogger.com let's you link to pics in this way :-/
Works OK. It's a pretty Nhatty function. ;)
BTW, the way I do it is to select the image, copy it, and then paste it into the draft post on here. That does the linkage embedding automatically.

Cheers! My boyfriend designed it, he's looking at printing more if your interested.
I want one too!
and i live in Brixton... so it's even better. -
im pretty sure that this is a back wheel using radial spoke pattern
but for some reason unknown to me you cant do it on both sides?
although how does that work with a flip flop hub?
someone explain please...post was a few pages back, but i didn't come across a good answer so i thought i'd chime in.
in general, when forces are distributed to the rim, through the hub, you are relying on the spokes.
Now imagine twisting a string around a pencil. the string doesn't sick out straight from the center of the pencil (as in the radial wheels), but sticks out at a tangent to the edge of the pencil. this is because that is the most efficient way to move the string. if you radially laced a rear hub, it would attempt to twist with each pedal stroke to position the spokes at a tangent, like the string/pencil. At the first few degrees of this motion, the hub has a huge advantage over the spokes, and so this action would place an enormous amount of force/tension on the hub/spokes.
As you move closer to a tangent, the hub loses a lot of it's advantage, and the spokes need less tension to hold the hub from spinning inside the rim. this is why when you build a drive wheel, you cross the spokes in opposite directions in a pattern such that the spokes are all coming off at a tangent.
Front wheels never experience forces delivered through the hub, so they are ok with radially laced wheels.
you will never see a radially laced wheel which has a disc brake though, and this is for the same reason.
The crossing pattern has an affect on this property as well.

the hairpin (or if you like hairgrip)shaped spring clip should be put on so the rounded end is leading and the tails are trailing.Just in case that 100 million to one chance happens that something catches it and unfastens it.(it will never happen so keep it like it is just to screw up sad f*ckers like me!)

I has new wheels and a new (well, stolen off another bike) saddle but I broke Flickr trying to upload a photo. But the wheels are purple and match my crankset (and decals). It's WELL hipster. I love it.

What he said.
I think the lack of brakes and lack of straps or SPDs will fuck you up much sooner though. -

haha...brick lane bikes did it for me! And I would never have noticed that in a million years. Is it easy to fix?

That seems a perfectly sane reaction to finding oneself alongside you in a car, moving or not.
Yes, so many people find themselves teleported into moving vehicles with occupants they want to get away from. I think what you meant was that if she was insane enough to get into a stationary car with me, it shouldn't be surprising that she was also insane enough to try to jump out of it at speed. If you're going to make gratuitously offensive remarks about attempted suicides, at least try to be logical.

Foot retention fail.
Master link direction fail.
Nice bits though.what is the right way to install the chainlock and why?
a "professional" bike mechanical would do it in the other direction. but on the same side (seen often in shops)
i use the same direction like on the fixie above but on the other side. thats best for me specially for bmx and chaingrinding.

Push a flat head screwdriver into the gap, twist and it to open up the open end of the clip.. it will then ping off and fly far away so as never to be found.. or... hit you in the eye.. one or the other. Once removed from your eye just snap it back on the same way..
I find my fingernail, or (HTFU) a pair of pliers works better:
-
sorry if i get something wrong...?
my rear end is short, as slammed as it could be. shortest chain.
so i cant remove the chain from the sprocket/cog without opening it.if i have a flat tire and a new tube i use it, reapair the old tube later. thats the point where i dont want to use a chaintool.
-
Yo can only put a new tube in if...wait for it....you remove the rear wheel. Either put a magic link in your chain or buy a patch kit.
Actually, I can't believe that someone has gotten themselves into this pickle. I thought bikes were awesome because they were functional.
