Brighton Hard Court Bike Polo - Official Thread

Not a bad idea, but surely with your mad sewing know how, you could knock yourself some up?

What do you lot think about these? http://www.burrobags.com/store/bike_polo_wheel_cover

Woo, I dont like these...they may well be better for less bouncing of the disk but i'm a fan of the more robust, and free signs!

+1

They are less wheel protectors than wheel socks. I think a rigid disc with fabric over the top could give the best of both worlds.

I'm not going to buy some, I' was thinking of making them when i get this cordura.
Somebody wrote " I love meat " over my disc so i have to replace it...
I can't see how it would protect the spokes as much as a for let sign or someting similiar, unless the material was really taught. And i do really like the satisfying thud and bounce you get when you save a shot using a disc made out of a for let sign.
I saw them on the geekhouse polo bike and thought they must be good but maybe they're not.
I think the ultimate material for discs is that light weight, clear, bendy plastic stuff the french boys had, those guys really do have it sussed.

couldnt you just draw a little arrow thing and write 'don't'?

issues guys.so i may have to invigilate at my exhibition on the saturday.this means no cambridge till like 6 or 7.... still going to be there on the sunday..i'll get back to you tomorrow about it.

All good, Thom. Sunday's the important one. Just let us know what a gwan innit. I'm still aiming for Brighton station early on Saturday.

Easy! Great meeting you lot on wednesday, thanks for your patience ha! Sure i'll pick it up soon enough, hopefully i'll be down on sunday ;)

Any non-cambrdgers down for a sesh on Sunday? I haz no balls

In addition to above:
Polo recruitment drive - discuss

good to meet you man.takes a few months to get well practiced.You'll be well on your way in no time!

Thom is right in a way. If we do a big push we have to think about how we're going to handle the increased numbers. If people come down and only get a game or two then they'll get bored. It's quite boisterous and we're getting a lot faster so it's hard for newbies. We've all learned together so we're quite evenly matched.

I'm keen for a sunday session. Fingers crossed we get 6 people!
It would be good to do a bit of a recruitment drive. It's great to see new faces turning up and getting involved! it would be awesome if we had 6 newish players that could have games together. It would also reduce the amount of unevenly matched games we end up playing. I think at times it's a bit frustrating for all involved when that's the case. I'd really like more girls to get involved, they seem to be dead keen then never show up, it's a shame.

Anyone playing today? I'm coming down to see the graduate shows. Should I bring my polo bike?

Who's playing today and what time are y'all coming down? I'm going to be there about half 1.

its been raining for quite a while ? I dont really mind it, but i know it can be quite disruptive

Dice, any good for you?
