Welcome To Norwich, A Fine City {nvs}

Safe. I got a winter hack now up and running. Hopefully have the Dolan up amd running again soon.

Just started at UEA and would love to get involved if anything's still going on. Probably gonna have to change my gear as Norwich is a bit hillier than native Cambridge though

Hi spiderpie,

I've just started at UEA too, well 3 weeks ago. Only been out for one ride since I got here...need to get out again! What you studyin'?

AlleyCat next Wednesday evening: http://www.lfgss.com/thread73758.html

I'm doing American Studies, staying in Britten House, how about you? What you riding?

also was considering the alleycat but don't really know the routes yet; only been on a handful of rides since i got here

Im studying Ecology, in Britten house too, Flat 25. I ride a Giant Bowery, SS obviously, what about you?

nice dude, add me on facebook (Will Gladman) and we should go on a ride sometimes. I have a Gazelle Champion Mondial fixed but i think I need to change my gearing in the next week or so

What gear are you running? Norwich isn't that threatening.

can't wait next wednesday!!!!!!!!!!!

How many people here study at UEA, does UEA people need to create a Facebook Fixed Gear page??
Do we need that? hands up plz...

I'm running 48 - 14 and actually it seems okay, I'll hold onto it for now. UEAFGSS would be cool, count me in. Haven't really had a chance to explore the city yet so would be cool to meet up

That's quite a few gear inches you have there.

70ish I think? It's great for downhill but horrendous for up, can't decide whether or not to change hmm

Assuming you're running 700c wheels, it's around 90!

so what would you suggest? only really had such a high gear cos living in the countryside meant lots of hills and lots of spinning otherwise

I'd put a 16 (high 70s) or 17 (low 70s) on the back. Depends if you prefer working harder uphill or down. I ride 48/17 (74") fixed and 44/16 (70") singlespeed.

I think I have a solution...

I've got one, it's too complicated, will never catch on.

I'll try 16 for a bit and see what happens. getting a bit tired of having to crawl up hills.

Have you considered the Sturmey Archer 3 speed fixed hub?

I have one these for the fixie I am building.

I have considered but i'm also desperately poor, i'll just throw on the 16t i have lying around.

also was considering the alleycat but don't really know the routes yet; only been on a handful of rides since i got here

I wouldn't worry about not knowing the routes; most of the locations/road or street names are listed with the clues that I have set; although a couple of them are points that can be seen from the locations of other clues. So all that is really needed for a newcomer to the city is an A-2-Z and few minutes to plan your route at the start of this Alleycat

Pedal Revolution on Bethal Street just tightened my brakes for free, I just wheeled it into the workshop and the bloke willingly sorted them out. On the wall of the workshop was a calendar displaying an attractive tattooed lady with no vest on.

Pedal Rev = great service one day, then a rude and frosty reception the next. Never know what you're going to get.
