• My chain keeps getting rusty

  Rust buster KMC chain

  A KMC chain for £2.60? What's the catch?!!

  I've been running one of these for the last 4 months, no rust despite my almost complete lack of maintance, noisy though.

  edit: actually it was more expensive, and 1/8 too, probably this http://www.dotbike.com/ProductsP3053.aspx?Track=FGL

• Classical music and an insomniatic head

  also if you find voices send you to sleep try Alvin Lucier's "I am Sitting in a Room", features the composer recording a phrase, then playing back the recorded phrase and re-recording. end result is not only fascinating but quite musical.

  i recommend minimalism. Reich, Messiaen, La Monte Young (check out the well tuned piano for one of the most amazing classical pieces of music ever, make sure the first time you listen to it is in one sitting), Terry Riley, Harold Budd, Wim Mertins, early Phillip Glass (probably best to avoid most of his operas though).

  musique concrete is very interesting too, although some can be a little scary for listening to whilst sleeping. Check out Vladimir Ussachevsky, Micheal Chion, Francis Dhomont and Pierre Schaeffer.

  I am planning on swapping out my fork for something drilled sometime, just need some money, but no close calls as of yet.

  and thanks, seen Lovvers once before, got one of their 7"s, but I believe they have an album out now?

  Good stuff, will see you about! I've realised i'm on 86 gi, which i find painfull on the larger hills but not silly. But i'm debating dropping lower as it sounds like I should be spinning faster...

  I'm running 73" brakeless for now, seems pretty good, have to be pretty restrained downhill but i haven't had an opportunity as of yet to spin down anything anyway.

  Thought i'd revive this thread, Uni term started today... peace is shattered ;-) and i've already seen a green langster. So any Notts people lurking out there. We'll add my new Carlton 80's track frame to the tally.

  i'm now at university, riding a turquoise graham weigh with silver deep v's, saw another fixed outside the built environment center earlier; white frame, bullhorns?
