Rat Bikes! Pub Bikes Beaters! Frankenbikes!

nobody's going to bite, Malaysian

quite like this, dredge from 2009 somewhere on here

i really like low profile rims with anodising, understated but still eye-catching. good find.

I really like this, hopefully it's no repost

looks a shedload of fun.

Takes about a week or two of normal use in the mud for them to get like that. The alloy is quite soft.

still got the dust caps? Mine looked like that after 2 weeks.

they're from classifieds, title includes a wheel i think

yeah they're selling for £12

something going on with this, but can't find a bigger picture.... has it been wrapped in hockey tape?

Shouldn't like it but I do.

That Brooklyn's a fail.

Pot, kettle, black?

SS with one brake is perfectly safe, i don't feel this issue has been covered enough on this forum.

I'll bite it - I have no prolems with mine, gets ridden hard and with the one brake it's got now it stops better than it did with the original 2.

I had a go on a fixed gear bike today though and love skidding on them so I do want another wheel that's fixed to skid on :D :/

my only comment on the one brake on a road bike with fast 700c tyres is, I've had a brake cable snap, luckily on a fixed bike so I could stop. would rather have 2 with a freewheel, just because I wouldn't want to damage my bike by crashing it. Which is why run a barely used brake on my fixed, cos I couldn't face damaging the frame if the chain snapped, or I come unclipped on a hill. I also run a 2 bmxs and a mtb with 1 brake, never had any dramas with those.

^ win. Close the thread, nothing more to see.

Has that been at the bottom of the sea for 50 years?!

my bottom bitch:

don't mock the saddle. it's wonderful for what it's for.

Nice bike, how do you stop?

look at the chainstays he's got a coaster hub

Nice.

was a freewheel/REAR brake until i completely cased a very tiny gap like an asshole.

the wheel cost a whopping 35 dollars (USD).
