Polo Bikes

right, I'm gonna sell the ESB I won and get myself a nice peruvian polo frame, probably just the frame and fork for sale and I'll keep some of the other bits for a beater/knock around fixie of some sort. Figured I'd stick it in here before the main forum.
I had Ryan braze on some brake mounts on the fork, might make you like it more, might make you like it less.
£400ish sound fair?

do a proper thread in classifieds as well, bob. pics, measurements etc. or just a link to the competition thread.

with photos and stuff

get myself a nice peruvian polo frame,

Not to be a bore, but did we decide whether 135 front was lame or not?

Yes, its lame.

gonna do a proper one, just wondered if there was any interest from polo folk first

Where did you get that symbol from? Out of Max's 'failed mallet' box?

+1 I had to use Ctrl+scroll to see that symbol

It's the infinity symbol, morons.

Oh, Bill...

It's the infinity symbol, morons.

I know what it's supposed to be, I was merely commenting on the poor reproduction.

better?

I need a WI free wheel tool. Anyone have one? Trying one I borrowed from Jono (just normal freewheel tool), but the slight difference in diameter is not working out.

Is that my troll rating? I'll have to get Rik to work that out, as I can't do the math(s).

mrak i have the shimano/surley/miche one, probs no good to you, but i just bought it so it happens to be in my bag.

Different tool, but thanks B.

I have one mrak. It's the park tools one and I always used it on my old WI.
Can bring it to polo tomorrow night if people are playing or Saturday

Just created a Wanted post in classifieds asking for a 36h 700c chukker and didnt think to ask here first. Forum fail. Does anyone have one?

@ those who are using cassette rear wheels, what axle / skewer are you using?
QR aren't holding the wheel and halo hex bolt axles aren't working too well either. There's not really any room for a chain tug so I'm struggling to keep my wheel in place.

Have you tried putting a pipe on the end of the allen key to get it really tight?

i changed my quick release shimano deore hub to a track axle with wheel nuts, £12 for the axle, You can easily do it to lots of hubs (not hope pro 2 though)

A pipe? No, because I change gears for commuting so need to undo this regularly. The halo skewers aren't very solid and don't hold up to being tightened very well.

Is a track axle different from 'normal' axles? I thought there are problems with the cones when you change from qr to solid axle?

Cheers guys.

Maybe you should get a hub gear?
