yesterday... not sure when the next game will be

haha gutted for me. had this horrid flu thing the last few days so couldn't hae made it anyway!

well whenever stuff is next happening could you drop me a text phil/matt?

cheers :)

@ Phil & Pete:
Experiment to 'fix' the Shimano freehub on the polo bike has worked at the second attempt. Used small lengths of allen key,filed to shape, and placed where the pawls used to be, to lock the inner and outer parts of the freehub together.
Got inspiration from this: http://www.63xc.com/mathieson/cheaphub.htm but went one stage further.

It's holding up to some pretty heavy abuse so far, fingers crossed, but cassette cogs could be a better fit. Now able to lock up the rear at will. Polo fixie skids a go-go ;)

If it doesn't survive the abuse, I'll weld the fucka!!

anyone about for polo this weekend?

ill be up for a knock about tomorrow but didn't think we could get enough people down

Was just wondering, since no-one had posted. Seems a bit quiet on the forum right now. Just wanted to try out the new Frankenstein-fixed wheel setup. Might be a bit tight for me too as I'm working on another wheel - a bolt-on-cog fixed, plus family commitments, but I might be able to make it. Is no-one else about this weekend?

Back from travels. Who wants to play weds or thurs eve this week? Thursday's best for me cos i can get there a bit earlier - say 5:15. Wednesday would be about 6. Any thoughts?

Thursday.

Ed's up for Thursday too

I might be able to make it too.
Wanna try out my new bolt-up-fixed wheel:

haha that looks sweet! look forward to seeing how it hold up.

Seems rock-solid Phil. I'm only sorry I wasted so much time converting the shimano freehub wheel to fixed. This is much stronger, and quicker and easier to do.
I've also been making handlebars:

Edit: Sorry about the poor quality phone pics
