I would've said yes to going out for beer - but stuck at home writing a stupid personal statement for my uni application. Will need a stiff drink after it - oh my darling whisky.

11 polo players arrested for trespassing in a car park. In the US though.

ah yeh saw that today ^^^

crazy

simon i will bring both of your mallets ok?

is polo at six?

Meet at 6 at sb or 7 at the car park. Can't really update the twitter and facebook and stuff with the address of a random car park so just said sb instead.

Right, I am goign to take advantage of the January sales at Wiggle and Chain reaction and buy myself some new polo parts.
What is the concencus on a good solid back tyre? looking for a 28 as i think that is the largets that will fit in a Langster with rear brake.
What about grips, what are the new ones you bought like Chan?

Rear tyre, the cheapest Schwalbe Marathon you can find (different rubber compounds and more threads per inch on the more expensive ones - not relevant to polo), the rubber on mine are over a centimetre thick! Skidtastic.

grip-wise is personal preference - hipster ourys give me sore hands, too fat. if you can get lock on ones, they're good. Using £8 bike-boutique velo ones on my MTB, hard rubber, thin knurled grip, lock on. surprisingly comfy and grippy for what they are, but going to change them for some super-tacky ODI ones for getting back off road. Since riding Bmx discovered the joys of having a large flange to rest your hand against on the inside of the grip. and yes, Lock-ons = awesome ... no more slippy grips, EVER! consensus is usually softest rubber you can get away with, without them disintegrating within a few rides.

yeah i wanna go for lock-ons
unofrtunatly as i'll be ordering off the internet i can't see how soft the rubber is, maybe just go by reviews or sumin

john mayer- isn't he soooo dreeeeeamy?

are you going with jammy?

negative, jammy's going with his brother i think, but if i see him there i'll try to drag him out for a bit, though he told me he has to drive home friday night

Ill come down polo tonight, wont stay too long though, not played in a while because i want to get my bikes sorted out, just having 1 bike for everything is a pain. also want to try playing on someones single speed, im thinking of getting one of the crappy create bikes and prolly just stripping it for parts for polo, since it comes with brakes ill give single speed a try.

Glowbike, your leaving it quite late arnt you! :-P deadlines the 16th? for most things

I'm out for tonight, gonna be a bit slack this month as i have exams and my girlfriend is only in England till the end of the month, I'm all yours after that

Technically there not great for polo, fat aluminum dents and they only take a 28 tyre
yours is good tho woody dont get me wrong

haha. yeah the fact the tyres only go up to 28 is a bit annoying, although at the mo i am running somethign tiny, any bigger would be an improvement! i quite like the dented alu look

Polo. 4pm Sunday. In?
