  • That might be rad, I'm just going to see if the cranks off my road bike give a workeable chainline; I'll keep you posted.

  • Cool man, just let me know.

  • Anyone got a powerspline bb?

    Maybe. Might be fucked though.

  • This will be the first time I've been (fixed) on a Velodrome since the last LFGSS trackday.

  • Maybe. Might be fucked though.

    Most certainly less fucked than mine. Seriously, at the pedal the crank has about 2-3mm of wobble. Are you riding out to the power hour next week by the way? Unless the weather's shit, I'll be rolling down with another product student on thursday.

  • Greetings folks,
    I think I come along and watch this one. Looking forward to it. Herne Hill is such a hidden gem....
    Give thanks,
    Tim

  • Turns out I'm not going away for bank holiday weekend, looks like I'll be at the velodrome then...

  • Ill be down to watch since I don't currently have a tarck bike

  • Tarckā‰ Track

    Thats how all powerspline cranks die though! Just had a look and remembered how those cranks died - it has half a crank bolt stuck in it unfortunately.

    Not riding HoP next week seeing as I'll be filling my face with Bodeans, should be there the week after though when I have my road bike again.

  • Greetings folks,
    Showing what a (replacement) hip - ster I am, I had to google 'tarck' to see what it meant....!
    So I have learnt something today and it has not put me off attending.
    Give thanks,
    Tim

  • ^Tim we will give thanks just for your attendance as you will make the day shine.

  • Did the induction today. Lots of fun and highly recommend it to everyone.

    Onto Basic Training next week before Track Day VII.

    Now I need to get my bike ready!

    Nice to meet IndraRipper, others whose names I forget (sorry) and to catch a brief sight of malandro in Novice Racing.

  • Nice to see you too mate, see you again next week.

  • When do we think trackday VII might actually happen?

  • Next sunday.

    Inducted today too, with bermuda sam. I was the 'rider in black' (hah...). What were you riding? Really lovely day, I'll see you in basic next week!

  • What were you riding?

    I rode one of the hire bikes. They gave me a steel Harry O complete with "Owned by Southwark Council" sticker, cottered cranks and a slack chain!

    I swapped it for a Fuji when the earlier session ended.

    I was in all-black too. I started on the lower rail and moved up to the "confident" group for the final part.

    Definitely see you next week...maybe some others in prep for Sunday?

  • ^^ I was on a hire bike too, newish fuji. Having ridden a track bike on the road for ~ 5 years, the day I actually get to the track, the bottom bracket died. Naturally...
    I'll be on a red and black continuum next week if everything works out.

  • Hiding under the stands from the hale, just after the race was called off. Fingers crossed for next weekend...

  • I wonder if I walk like I've shit myself even with real shoes on

  • I wonder if I walk like I've shit myself even with real shoes on

    You do.

  • Next sunday.

    What time...?
