Cleaning and lubing

I've been a victim of crime a few times, and twice I've seen the guy/guys who did it. Both times they were white. I think all races commit crimes, it's a fundamentally human thing to do, unfortunately. There is one group that is not responsible for many crimes, though; women.

Look im not trying to be racist, patriotic, whatever. Its just a fact.

what is a fact?

sorry to hear about the trouble dude. Try wire wool and teacut!

OOh howdy by the way, my first post

ok, everytime i have seen a bike nicked, it has always been a baggy jogger wearing baseball cap and hoody 20 year old.

I think RPM was saying that there is maybe a little too much Political correctness and we should not stereotype, however, time and time again, its the same democratic group.

No, sorry, I wasn't mentioning anything about demographic groups.

My point was the "this is london my friend" attitude is tiresome and selfish, I think society as a WHOLE needs to grow up and admit it's not all that, then do something about it

raceless?

my bike has raceless

o rly? my bike has raceface. black.

my my...

how much? Just spoken to the couple with the narrow boat from last night. A lot of paint on their boat and had more trouble during the night, now heading west as they have had enough of this area, theu have only just got the boat ffs!

the on-one hubs, £35 for a pair including postage, definite bargain.

rims, either a cheaper Open Sport or go for the lighter Open Pro, £60 pair.

spokes, rims tape (or electric tape), and you're sorted.

cheers will google tomorrow. @ velib, i get pissed about this the police agreed with me and I have also had random attacks in the past. just saying...

shit man, really sorry to hear about this. like everyone said, heal up first

cheers, more worried about my gf, as she's not dealing with things well. I'm in work all ok just bruising and still got some paint on me will start looking for other wheels though.

I'm with RPM

Society is shit and ignoring it is hardly the answer. Immigration policies have diluted our culural fabric to the point of extinction, no longer do Londoners care about London, there is no ownership.

This is really fucking dry. Sorry to hear about it. If you need any help let us know.

sounds like a nasty episode to go through, hope you heal fast.
16 yoot though?! if it was me i would have given them the bike, that's what insurance is for.
1-3 scrotes and having something to hand to beat them with and you have a chance especially if you hit the main/biggest agressor first but a £400 otp is not worth a fractured scull or a knife in the guts.

no longer do Londoners care about London, there is no ownership.

so what about all this 'my manor' stuff and gangs with postcode territories killing each other if they stray? isn't that 'ownership' ?

No and you know it isn't.

man, respect for taking on those muppets for your bike, you got balls! *hope u still got'em though! i know we like our bikes too much sometimes but just think about it, a proper dentist session and new teeth cost more then a decent bike. glad you're ok!

you may not have lost the fight, but you kept your bike and showed what you are made of. respect!

No and you know it isn't.

don't be so presumtious.

just out of interest, how did the paint become involved? your paint? their paint?

oh and history has taught me, worry about your missus first, then your wheels, then possibly yourself.

tiswas, shes not like that at all, I'm worried though as she is really shaken up at the moment so main priority is making sure she's ok. I don't want to come across as racist or whatever but i agree with dov, some of these people do fuck all apart from suck money which could be spent better and cause misery for other without ever actually acheiving anything beneficial to anyone.

ok, we were talking to some people with a narrow boat and had the bikes lent up, i saw my bike move by me and thought it was going to fall in and went to catch it, thats how it all kicked off. the paint was next to the boat as they were doing it up. -prior to this I was helping them do a bit of work on the boat as well (I love sailing, etc.)

this really sucks. very sorry to hear about this james, some people have no respect for anything. well done to the gf for bottling one of them (hope she is feeling better now), shame it wasnt in the face really. scarring one of those scumbags for life would have served him right.

anyway, I hope you heal up quick man and are not too shaken up (I know I would be).
