Polo Bikes

They're really light in fact, the difficulty you have is securing the head. A few have tried a bolt through the bottom but struggled to stop the head from spinning. Pawl had a small piece of MG welded to his but it then snapped at the weld. As they're skinny it's difficult to find anything strong enough to attach the head. You could drill and tap the bottom for possibly an M5 or M6. I've not tried using one yet so I only know what others have tried.

Also if you drop the mallet then running over it makes no difference, unlike the ski poles.

oo well, i stand corrected

polo bike by lance mercado of squarebuilt bikes NYC.....

Looks like an uber tiny gear.

Anyone got any pedal recommendations.

Go clipless.

You mean like SPDs? No way. I want to be less connected to the bike.

It's hard to be certain, but I'd guess 28x17, not that spinny, just below 40gi.

Why? clipless is great because you can clip out so quick

Time Atacs. Or Plastic bmx pedals(get ones with metal pins).

Wellgos and some adjustable straps.

Does anyone make mallets out of golf clubs these days?

It looks like one of my neighbours is throwing a bunch of clubs out. I'll snag them if anyone wants them.

I still use golf clubs. Dunlop woods are usually long enough, have a solid steel shaft (still playing with mine after 2 years), are super light and give a nice whip.

To fix a head you need to punch them, then drill them with decent bits in ascending sizes from 3 - 5mm. I fix mine with a 5m bolt, no problems.

Who's running Onza T-Bird cranks? Is it an ISO or JIS taper? What length BB you running on your Pomp, Margs?

Just got some off Otters and was gonna chuck 'em straight onto a Campag Centaur 111mm BB on my Pomp... Bumped into Ryan and told him what I was gonna do, he pulled a funny face... :S

Thoughts?

not sure about the local polo-ists... shifty eyes

:P

Reported.

JIS taper... Bollocks... :[

What length BB you running on your Pomp, Margs?

ha! trying to find your perfect position huh?

And twist shifters!

Who's running Onza T-Bird cranks? Is it an ISO or JIS taper?

Can you explain this a bit please, I didnt know there was any difference in a square tapered bb. Which is more common?

Many tapers on BB's. Square Taper more common.

It's basically Campag vs Shimano, Kev (except for Japanes track stuff, which is ISO standard).

When I last asked Sheldon, he said you can mix them, but the taper difference means you'll put the chain line out slightly (which I suppose could be used to help a bad chainline sometimes).

I had chorus cranks running on a Shimano BB for ages with zero problems.

I think due to the difference of taper, you're also more likely to round your crank thread with a particular combination, cant remember which way round though. Im sure sheldon can tell you all.
