2011-04-03 Sun - Cambridge ride. Fixed-wheel bicycle required

Yes Will, I am well aware of the nature of the ride ;)
Just trying to save my pins from an untimely death. I also need my legs to be in servicable order for work...
Don't worry, if I show up it'll be fixed.

good lad.. I reckon you should turn up on a road bike and just never stop pedalling.

this route is less hilly, is 49 X 17 a good ratio, or should put something more mellow.

I'm going 48/19 (~67") - mainly because the pace is going to be low and I don't like low cadence!

im walking...

(not really)

I bet you're gutted you can't bring the Cannondale ChainBreaker.

I would second upstart's thinking. 48 x 17 is a bit fast for this ride I reckon.

i was tempted to ask if i could bring it Foxy.

i'd like to bring my geared bike too. mostly because there are 2 water bottle holders.

You'd just have to ride them slowly, which would defeat the point. Non-fixed should need a Doctor's note or something...

I have newbike-anitis...

Theres a tandem on ebay I need to bid on. Finishes at 3.30pm
Anyone got an iphone I can get on? Hopefully be in Cam by then...

why dont you use a sniper. hidbid gives you 5 free a week.

never used one before, whats the score?

put in your max and let it ride.
you have to sign up

Yep on gearing comments, i'm using 48x19. Was lovely last Friday on the recce.

What you riding on your back cog then Skully?

ill switch my gear to something lower. thx

A chain? Sorry what's the question? 48x19 means 48t chain ring and a 19t cog. You know this shit, chainbraker?

Motorbike style drivetrain is the new arrospok.
Didn't you get the memo?
