Polo Bikes

Cam, those v-brake mounts fit on 31.8mm∅

Can they be shimmed to fit seat stays and/or blade style forks?

Here's my Polo hack; it's nothing special just an old Universal BSO MTB that had been abondoned which I pulled out of ditch back in February this year.

Initally I resprayed it Caterpillar Construction Equipment Sand Yellow, but in a week or two I will respray it RAL 1028 Mellon Yellow and add a few Gloss Black Zebra stripes to match the front wheel disc.

Anyone know the A2C of Charge Scissor forks?

That would have taken more effort than just telling me.

Slow day.

Awesome.

I did google it actually, sent me to a load of guff on some fixed gear bike forum, and Prolly says he doesn't know.

it is before coffee o'clock though.

EDIT:
Charge Scissor Fork 440mm A2C and 35mm rake
and if anyone cares, Onza Tuff Guy Lites are 40cm and 30mm rake

What's the best tyre size for 26ers?
Does any one want to buy a halo tornado wheel on a halo hub spaced with a 16t freewheel?

A little help, please?

I know what I said on there, but on a 2nd thought, are these a good idea for gearing up a polo bike? Have been looking all over the Internet and opinions are slightly confusing.

if you're riding freewheel they'll be fine.

And have a Spanish BB?

I ride freewheel, yes. Got it yesterday, it weights a ton as expected, but seems ok. I am looking at the difference between Spanish and Euro BBs. I think they are both fine... maybe doing a degree in bicycle instead of art would be more useful.

Whats the deal with BMX cranks/BBs? How are they different to normal cranks/BBs? Basically, how do you put BMX cranks on a normal road frame.

if your frame is english 68mm thread, just buy a euro bmx bb, its exactly the same.

bmx cranks are normally 3 piece, with a spindle going through the bb as opposed to the shimano square taper style...

I got the BMX cranks only because they are the right size for polo - 25T, and they were cheap and cheerful, ish, but they are heavy. So I am keeping my eyes out for something lighter, but you know with things like this, it's always a bit of luck. And since I have only just started out, I don't want to spend too much on it. This is my reason, but I think some people like the cranks being a wider or something? I am not sure.

The BBs have different ways of installing, A bit more annoying to install from what I can see on the Internet, and require a bit more maintenance, I think? Have yet to try myself.

I am sure someone else would be able to provide a more sensible answer than me.

I feel good now I have learned something new!

you're such a nerd

Go to bed and be a good boy!

My Pompino has a crack in the chain stay. Where the crimping is to give tyre clearance. Josh said this is where his cracked too. Hmmmm...

I have no idea what to get next. In the mean time, pray the stay sticks together.
