Polo Bikes

srsly, no one laughed at my triton joke?

Hope make everything in Barnoldswick, Lancashire, I was wrong, doh!

We'll excuse you, especially given your Cornish background...

Fuck you, Geordie.

You can convert a standard Pro II to QR using an adaptor.

gabes: How much does the 9mm axle conversion cost? Have never seen them before and I guess only available directly from Hope?

I acctually also want a rear disc on my charge...got some info on various adaptors, etc. but a 120mm ss disc hub are rare or non existing, correct me if i'm wrong..reason? rain, rim not true and v's are shit (some of you heard the seal sound)

Ben, a standard Pro 2 IS Quick release.

The hope adapters are available, though CRC is out of stock, somewhere else has them

It's designed be used with the DT Swiss 9mm front skewer http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Images/Models/Original/21670.jpg

But it's just as good to use the Fireeye 9mm axle http://www.chainractioncycles.com/Models.aspx?ModelID=51894

Jamal, Morgan was running one of these

Yes, I saw them already but couldn't find where to buy them..

SS disc hubs are easily available, but not for fixed. Changing the width isn't that difficult.

i'm running singlespeed but not with a cassette

I've just bought this cheap Specialized Centrum for polo. I'm pretty taken with it, but it's slacker than I'd like. Can any of you recommend some cheap forks with low clearance for a bike running 26" wheels?

~Edit~

Oh yeah, the headset's 1 1/8", threadless.

Cheers.

Why bother? Pfffffff!!!

Summint to do.

Why bother? Pfffffff!!!

because they have the ugliest paint job - ever.

I agree but who cares? You're gonna thrash the fuck out of it anyway... And after seeing the state of Mrak's rustbucket the other day I'm pretty happy to leave the paint on mine... Is just a tool, no?

tool for what? taking photos of?

garden ornament?
