I'm in, wasn't sure since there are so many people already but there was that empty spot on the list there... and I've got Japanese in my username and everything

you literally just pry them apart and put the wheel in. It will naturally sit in the middle.

I, for instance, just bent the rear triangles until the axle/hub/wheel fitted inbetween the dropouts. 1 cm job, 5mm from each side, just used my hands. still rides like a charm.

edit: ^what ppl above say.

My friend did it on his conversion. Shall all 40 of us come round prior to the ride, 20 on each side and pry them open?

this sounds like a solid system. im fine with just jamming it in but then when it comes to having to take the wheel out when i get a flat, it aint gonna come out. i reckon il try and properly cold-set it so that im actually able to get the wheel in and out easily. cheers for your advice guys, il put meself back on the list.

Joe, I can give you a hand if you like. Pretty sure I'm not so far away. Have previous in manouvering stubborn rear ends...

I am serious, can come round after work tomorrow.

Excellent, you get to sit at top table with me, Sumo and Roboto.

Depending on what time I finish playing golf and if I don't go to Brighton to see Rodigan, I will try to roll over to the last destination, as this sounds fun.

Joe I think it is just probably a little stiff, loads of polo bikes have all sorts of axle lengths boshed in on them and punctures are common place there. Of you're really worried, would it not be easier to put a new axle in the wheel?

edit. Ok. no worries man, but if you do need a hand/fancy a ride I am out west. #secretlyplanstostealBridgestone...

We'll probably close to yours by then, come meet us en route

We'll use gps and shit, it'll be copacetic

What frame is it?

I am psyched for this now

With my mind on my udon and my udon on my mind!

Just confirmed the lunch reservation at Ryo. Toru-san the manager is very excite to see us.

Also I'll be pairing everyone up randomly for the day too. I'm the even blacker Cilla Black yo!

I'm now confirmed. The Derbyshire boys came through. New frame has arrived, currently having bottom bracket fitted in Cyclelab, I'll sling the rest of the parts on at home tonight and I'm ready to (udon) roll.

Great news dude. Can't wait to meet you and your new steed!

hmmm.. always knew i had a function to go to on saturday but thought it was an evening thing... it is actually a mid-afternoon thing and in east grinstead, so barring miracles/disasters. i am out.

Got a call from Akari to confirm our evening booking, shit is getting real!

Wicked - who's designing/printing/laminating the spoke cards? WE NEED THEM

Spoke cards are done, Poots sorted it all out.
