  • Wanted: 700c Rear Polo Wheel with a freehub body.

    Either a shitty one for cheap or a quality one that'll last a while.

    Someone rode over mine last weekend providing a not unpleasant sinking feeling but now my wheel is beyond fucked and I'm playing some league games on Thursday.

    I bought a 20t BMX freewheel to fit to a fixed wheel with a flip-flop hub but the threads are incompatible which I sort of thought would be the case. Are there threaded shims or converters available, or some way to put a freewheel on a fixed hub that doesn't cost a bomb? (Is White Industries the only way?)

    I know there's been talk of this stuff on the forum before but I can't locate it.

    Also Josh was talking about a cheap quality rim for about £19 but I can't remember what it was, where it was from or what his forum name is.

    As well as the wheel, some 'singlespeed' spacers for a freehub body and a basic chain tensioner would be good.

    Prompt payment in cash money / beers / however.

    Ta, Cameron.

  • Can't help with the parts but I think that the rims would be Rigida Sputniks.
    They are cheap at Spa cycles and dead good.

  • League game on thursday? are you are playing for the Cogs?

  • secret weapon.

  • not very secret on an open internet forum emmet you spanner

  • Cheers otto. That's the link I was looking for.

    Just need a wheel to hold long enough to help get some Cog's points now.

  • not very secret on an open internet forum emmet you spanner

    Actually i am a spammer, i've been randomly posting the same combination of words across this open internet forum. My post had no relation to this thread other than being in it.

  • Hey Cameron its Josh,
    that link from otto is just the rim i was talking about, you can can your spokes there aswell. Plain Gauge are strong and cheap, but if your willing to splash the cash, get Sapim Strong's - the ultimate polo spoke!

  • Cheers Josh. Thanks for the spoke advice.

    Still need a wheel or failing that, borrow a massive cog and play fixed. (Never played fixed before though)

  • why dont you borrow a normal geared wheel

  • you're too logical rik, shut up.

  • Rik can I borrow your normal geared wheel please.

  • The cog should change their name to the session musicians they change their line up so often, is this the 7th cog? Maybe they should be the cassette?

  • yes no ploblem, when do you can to pick it up?

    where do you play on thrusday? Mitch?

  • Nice one Rik.

    Thursday at Newington I think. PM me where/when I can pick it up from.

  • is this the 7th cog

    don't be silly. Cameron is only the sixth.

  • Pigfarmer lukyb ricky2slicky stu em landslide and cameron... 7?

  • Cogs = throw-in team :P

  • I counted chris as a sub, not as a full member, but as he plYed better than most of us I guess that makes him part of the lucky 7.

  • Cogs = throw-in team :P

    Unlike polonium, who are an official team.

    Just a pity that it is not a Polo team...

  • cameron - if you can't get to Riks i've got a spare rear wheel with a 20t freewheel on it that you can pick up from Putney

  • Unlike polonium, who are an official team.

    Just a pity that it is not a Polo team...

    oooh, that was low.....but we have alot of fun losing anyhoo :)

  • ^ for sale or for borrow?

  • long borrow :^]
