I'm gonna get that, you need 48 spokes

gazzzzzzzzumped!

sorry

All valid points, you'll never escape now!

My only hope is finding gainful employment and buying a carbon road bike - at least you feckers run gears low enough that a fat middle aged bloke could outrun you :-P

I have no actual money I checked my account and I'm dangerously close to the end of my overdraft.

NO MORE BIKE THINGS... until next month.

That hub will be attached to a wheel soonish, probably by the time you have money again

You would get more money from me if I didn't know the hub's price.

True, s'all about the quality labour though

You would get more money if you give it to a proper mechanic to make it :D

ow :'(

Love you really. You fix my broken things and provide entertainment.

Well done newbies - stick with it!

Try and get something with track ends and not too big/expensive. We also need to talk wheels - strong wheels....

Why track ends, would horizontal drops not do?

I have a set of wheels that i was going to put on which have been described as bomb proof, so i guess they'll be tested to that.

same ting innit

Track ends aren't dropouts. Tut tut.

silly me, kinda same ting innit, but t'other way round

Ideal? and cheap! Dunno if i'd fancy trying to ride it from widnes mind

if you want a shit mtb, I've got one in my basement you can have, missing wheels at the moment and is very shit

sounds ideal. I just need to grab my wheels back off a mate in liverpool. I figure i'm going to be coming off regularly whilst learning so don't want anything fancy, until i'm at least a ten handicap player.

come grab it whenever, I repeat, it's shit

Get decent bar plugs and scruffy pedals and saddle, they'll take most beating.

and thumbs

I have the stock saddle from a bianchi pista, it's uglier than a night in the printworks so should be ideal

Keep flinching every time I need something from a right-hand pocket where the skin got scuffed off a bit. Need to find a massive plaster.

I know your pain, I ordered these the other day
