Nursery for New Members

Hi guys, I'm Keira and I'm new here. You can find me on twitter if any of you care for that sort of thing. I'm just getting in to track cycling - caught the bug after a couple of taster sessions at Manchester and Herne Hill.
hello and welcome, there are loads of Herne Hill fanatics in here somewhere, it wont take long to find them.

Until they invent a floating cycle gravity will never be defeated.

Hello people. Relatively new to building my own ride, so looking to get input from people who have walked down that road before. At the moment I'm working on a Gazelle Champion Mondial AA Frame from the 70's, and looking to source some original/replica pieces, any advice?

a 10 speed cassette is thinner than a nine speed one. You need those stupid tiny spacers behind the cassette that are easy to lose. They are much more sensitive to set up and the chains don't seem to last as long.

Cheers cookie, I've heard much the same thing from some friends! A friend of a friend with the same frame had some serious shifting issues with a 10 speed as it was too large for the frame, so I think I'm going to settle for 8 and save myself some money!

Just would like to say good evening, Im Arv and have just joined. I currently commute from south east to central london and heard about this forum from a fixie convert at work,I myself do not have that bug yet but am admiring his bike too much...Looking forward to finishing in the nursery once I feel I can manage without nappies. Thx

You can't admire a fixie-bike too much. Fact. :)

Welcome!

Been riding on London roads since c1983, so have plenty of experiences to share and much to learn. Encouraged to join by lolabelle and markypoos. Hello lfgss.

Hi all, used to ride a Surly Steamroller, had to sell it for financial reasons a couple of years ago. Now I've got more time to start riding again but not the same budget, so I'm looking to build a cheap but strong bike. Is the nursery limited to this post, or is there other areas I can post?

You can post anywhere you want so long as it's relevant to the thread.

go on then 24 hrs
