Anyone have/know where to get Forward Components' eccentric bottom bracket?
They seem to have lost their domain (http://www.forwardcycle.com/) and I'm not paying €190 for an Exzentriker (which does the same, but is German.)

Not sure if this is the best place to ask, but here goes. I got knocked off at the weekend, completely pringling my front wheel. Is it going to be cheaper to build a new wheel onto the hub or just buy a second hand wheel?

A Manchester mechanic, but yeah I can rebuild it for you. Depends on whether your hub is worth keeping tbh.

Right, i'll pick it up this saturday (crashed it in liverpool and left it at a mates) and bring it to polo) on sunday. Haven't even properly given the frame a once over yet, but i'm hoping it's ok as the impact was fairly light.

£20, but you'll be needing parts on top. I ain't gonna be at polo on Sunday I'm afraid. I dunno where you'd get a steel rim from, you might need to have a look around for suttin you like the look of, spokes and nips will depend on what kind you want but will be about £8 for plain gage and £13 for butted.

Does anyone have spd/mtb style clipless pedals ?
I want to try to see what the difference compared to clips , before buying something which I might not use.
