Hi everybody.
Finally i can contribute with something useful to this place since im from Madrid.
Actually third generation and that it´s to say a lot since nobody it´s actually from Madrid.Awesome city to ride fixed or whatever.
Incredible big fast alleys or small old steeped streets with really tight corners. We have a couple of really steeped streets that we use for sprints from time to time.
nice weather most of the year.
amazing beer.
small group of all-of-the.year-riders but most of them great people to share a Mahou.
we havent had a big bang of
colored aerospokes, fixed gear madness and i think it has its pros and cons. I stuck with the pros.El guapo:
So yes, theres a lot going on, and next time please get in contact, wheter you bring a bike or not (we can always get you one).Alockett:
Barcelona its way far than us with bike culture. People there uses bikes everyday and, as you say, they have a city bike hiring that everybody use.They are thinking of this too in Madrid. Will see.
On the oher hand i love to ride Madrid wherever i please, between cars or sidewalks. Bike lanes will ruin the fun (thats personal opinión. Lots of people wouldn´t agree) and up to this momento police dont care about bikes (cars either).Teenslain:
Rafa is one of my best friends and another reason to come to Madrid are Los Chicos (http://www.myspace.com/loschicosrocks)!!!!If you come to Madrid get in contact!!!!

ok. got it.
pins are further apart but because the holes grow wider. -
Im no mechanical engineer but the the center to center distances from to pin to pin seem larger in an old chain and i think that will mean stretch.
when i have the time ill use a caliper to measure this distance and if possible the diameters of the pins.related to this.
Which do you think it´s the main cause of having two different chain tensión places of the cranks?Cog and chain wheel in different planes?
misalignment of the chain wheel with respect of the spider of the cranks?
bended chainring?i observed that this effect is greater when using a wear out/strecht chain.

Hi there, firstly the chain doesn't actually stretch, it wears out.
It strecht. Try puting a new and used one in parallel.

Nah, not against any rules...
But being a bmxer, I just think that trying to emulate (lame) bmx tricks, on a bike that was designed to go around velodromes, is a bit wierd.
i use to think the same.
180 over a few stairs, bar spins or backward circles? get a bmx!but perhaps you have to misuse something in order for it to evolve, right?

hi there!
madrid is fun!
carefull with cars.
i agree that nobody thinks of bikes, but most people are nice.
when you try to talk with someone that almost run over you they are 90% of the occasions "iam really sorry, i didnt saw you"the wheather know is awesome.
sun but not hot. a little cold in the shadows. but you surely would enjoy a beer in a terrace after going from plaza castilla to plaza de colón.have a look to simplifica.tk and you can meet people there to take you for a ride.
have a nice time in my city.
