2011-11-12 Wake Up To the Udon Roll

Cool, might be up for this!

Alex is it? Man this is the ride for you. I know you get rowdy!

No mights or maybes here.

You have to be strong of mind and body to roll with the Ninja Udon Krew.

Alex is it? Man this is the ride for you. I know you get rowdy!

i have no absolutely no idea what you mean!

:)

yeah why not, count me in

Oh dear it's on! I'm bringing my nun-chucks and katana. Protect ya neck kids!

well excited for this, that is, if i can sort my fucked bike out. really hope i can make it :)

What's wrong with it?

for some mystery reason the wheel just isnt coming out of the dropouts and i need to change a flat. need to get my mum's fiancee on the case as i reckon it just needs a shitload of brute force and i certainly cant supply that.

Dry pulling the stays apart with a little hand force, then pull it out.

i shall, definitely needs two people though. hope to see you saturday man.

Haha I wonder who you could be refering to...

Any requests for a model? The obvious choice is the traditional crane, but there are other models we can do that are easy and look cool.

iris iris iris please!

Ahh yeah. Great shout. Iris it is. Everyone try and bring along an old train ticket too, I'll teach you how to make a jumping frog from one. We can have a compo for furthest jump.

Arr! Got some bad news! I can't make it to the ride :( Have a shoot to go to that afternoon.

Really was looking forward to this.. I'll find another ride to join you guys.

    sorry dudes but im out unless i can find a 110mm spaced wheelset by saturday which i highly doubt.
    

Did you manage to get it out?

yep, but it turns out that the wheels that came with the bike as complete were 120mm spaced wheels jammed into a frame which is spaced to 110mm.

Boris Bike?

nah, i hate them. il see if i can borrow a mates bike or something.

Mate just use a 120 wheel, and bend the stays apart. It'll be fine, I do it with my Panasonic. Steel frame right?

yeah its a steel frame. is that what a cold-set is? is there any way of doing it accurately?

Sort of. I had that quandary when I bought the frame (keirin 110 spacing) and there seemed to be a drought of 110 hubs at the time. But many trusted professionals* assured me it's totally find to stick a 120 in there. Three years later, all still fine.

*honest, including Superted who was sober.

so have you actually bent your stays or have you just shoved a 120 wheel in? if its the former, how did you do it?
