Polo Bikes

It just helps to flick the back end out and change direction more suddenly (twist & turn) when on the ball. Basically I find it helps give me more control. But i also prefer to ride with one jol strap, so it's all about what feels best for yourself.

agreed...
but also good to have a front brake for a little more rear wheel pop.

these are my newish doublers...

i haz pompino ordered as well....

snoops, havent see you in ages, do you still need the back wheel??

hellooooo, been busy working an ting...

no i am giving up on this 26" lark, for polo anyway, i'm heading the pompino route as i always intended. sold a bike so been able to afford one finally.

might keep the inbred and slowly build it up as an off road thing...

might not see anyone until the new year though, heading back north on wednesday until new year. might be out for a bit of polo on tuesday if people are still about. my bike is in bits though, i'll just be there socially.

very good about the pompino, I always though the inbreed will be a bit small for you
and will be nice to see you before Xmas, I'm sure will be polo on tuesday

coolio, and btw eingang what size is that pompino? looks fairly big...

@snoops: it's the xl size

@sol: the stem is a "funn serial grippa" stem, a huge fucking big block

On this note...

I picked up a packets of 50 reusable zip-ties recently, YES reusable. Thick, strong and more to the point reusabel. I'm sure there's lots of places that stock them but i've only ever seen them in the place on lower marsh next to boots accross from christian aid, SE1. Well worth it!

@eingang - that pomp lookes pretty tidy... have you got enough space for wintery tyres?

winter tyres:

(i am genuinely interested in max tyre sizes on pompino front and rear)

whats the biggest you can get in a handsome dog?

pompinos are cyclo-cross bikes, innit? I will have though they can handle big enough tires

[ame="http://forums.mtbr.com/showthread.php?t=90575"]here they say 35C[/ame]

Could have done with a bigger front tyre yesterday :( rubino fail. (front wheel judder)

I used to run a 35 in my handsome dog, don't think anything bigger would fit.
