  • So displaying my allegiance to a particular team, be it national, pro tour or pro conti, would automatically make me a Fred? So what kit am I allowed to wear? No Molteni? No La Vie Claire? No Brooklyn? How boring. Maybe it's Fred and his buddies you should be aiming your ire at because I think this guy looks fricking awesome>>>>>>>>>>

  • Wear the colours of your club.

  • Wear the skin of your fallen enemies.

  • Looks awesome for about 2 minutes

  • lovin' that look - will copy that asap


  • These fuckin pogo stick looking pieces of shit.

  • Ha, I was about to post the same, I've never really liked them.

  • They just make a bike look so side heavy and horrible, I'm a bit OCD and this is just a nightmare.
    Like when the TV volume isn't on a multiple of 5.

  • No, the TV volume must be on an even number

    Leftys are sexy.

  • Agree to some extent. Love the egg beaters on my mtb, hate the candy-pedals on my SS-commuter. Wanted to be able to use the same cleats/shoes but I just don't really get on with the semi-platform design, feels like it interferes with the thread on the sole. Should have just bought a second pair of egg beaters :-(

    Sounds like you need to use the crank bros cleat shim.

    I have 2 pairs of candys, i pair of quattros, and I pair of mallets. The egg beaters look cool. But I get this feeling that the pedal opens when you press down hard. Not an issue with a platform. Plus the platform is freely rotating so doesnt effect the ease of clipping in.

    The weakness is the spring tension. Eventually it will slacken, and the pedal is useless. So its a good idea to service and rebuild them. Pick up cheapish versions and replace axles etc.

  • and where can you by the spring if decided to rebuild?

  • and where can you by the spring if decided to rebuild?

    You cant. What I meant is, if you have a fancey Ti axle version. Rebuild it into a new stainless steel springed pedal, once its dead.

  • You cant.

    Bit harsh

  • Be careful about what you say about the Nicest Guy On The Forum™

    Not sure if it was my action, but deebles just got banished to neg-repdom.

    hey, I wasn't complaining

  • Chrome steel rims as commonly found on 3 speeds, especially when they are rusty;

    When I was 11, and had just got my BSA Javelin, the old and wise man next door told me the way to stop my rims rusting was to rub 3 in 1 all over them. So I did. Even though I braked the next day, I didn't actually stop until I was 17.

  • Novelty cycling jerseys

    Mostly the Marmite one....I fucking hate Marmite.

  • You either love it, or you hate it...

    I hate it.

  • Don't come on the slave ride then. Intended to rock that with pride

  • It will go really nice with this bike though...
