up and running???????

That's a shop, and I for one, never run.

Matt is the toolbox on tomorrow morning? I'd like to pop round to tru my front wheel and sort out my slipping cog if thats cool....?

Toolbox is all set for tomorrow.

Matt, does Sheep still have golf clubs and water pipe?

we have the blue pipe, enough for about 6 more i think,
no more poles left though

I found a shop selling new hollow s/s clubs for 1.50.

I got 3 clubs - you can buy one off me. I need to come by and sort the rest of the stuff out.

Matt - our polo team need 3, any chance we can have dibs on enough pipe for that? I'll bring a hacksaw tomorrow!

hi there,

the open toolbox is a really good idea and very decent of you to donate the proceeds. apolegies for the out of the blue contact, i am fairly new to the site and also the fixed gear way of riding.

got a question and be grateful of any advice or assistance...........

i recently bought the genesis flyer and sold off the wheelset it came with. i bought the mavic ellipse wheelset which i now ride free with a flip flop hub. i would like to convert it to fixed and have been advised that i need a cog and chain ring. a member of staff advised me to get the chain ring and cog direct from mavic - something to do with the spacing...........

would appreciate if you could advise on what need to convert my current set up to a fixed gear.......

many thanks.

Catchchee, you need a cog and a lockring, the lockring prevents the cog from working loose. Bring your bike along tomorrow - i'm sure knowledgeable folk will be happy to advise.

thanks playswellwithotters...... i was told by the guy at evans that i should get the lockring from mavic themselves as every manufacturer is different (ie. shimano etc). can i get the cog from any shop?

unfortunately, i cannot make it tomorrow. is the workshop run weekly as i would like to bring the bike over next week if possible.

cheers

hello, just wondering if this is happening tomorrow. would like to swap cogs and have no chainwhip/lockring tool, etc. nor have i ever done it previously, so i don't want to end up with a slipping lockring and/or bleeding knuckles...
am heading to the shop now and will pick up some carlsberg just in case it is up and running tomorrow

cheers

All go for tomorrow
Come over anytime between 11 and 2

Awesome. Can we butcher a seatpost with a wedge mod tomorrow?

no more poles left though

Can I come by and get my mallet back tomorrow before polo? (red handle, carharrt sticker)? Ive been looking for it all week. Last night I drunkenly fell over it.

..if you happen to go past leyland on dalston lane, anychance you could pick up a decent hacksaw blade? Cheers

I won't but I can bring you some of my blades.

See you tomorrow.

You still have an angle grinder Matt? Have some nubs I'd love to shave off my polo bike. Also some bars I'd like to cut (assuming Em brings the blades).

Maybe I don't want to use an angle grinder? Sick.

wow.
how on earth did you find that?
