  Hi there,

  i'm looking for a bike bag on the cheap as I'm moving to Oslo in 3 weeks. (I'm in Dublin now btw)

  Any suggestion welcome.
  Been looking at CRC, Wiggle and the likes, but I'm sure I can find a used bag from one of you?

  cheers

  I got one of the cycle computers for £3.90 and they're pretty good, awesome when you consider the price! I'm going to get one for my second bike tomorrow. Recommend.

  Just installed one of those computer too, wireless for less than a fiver. Sweet.

  Too bad I can't understand half of the functions :)

  Anyone out there who knows how well it behave overtime, if it's accurate, etc etc..

  Hi Guys,

  Just got 2 flat tyres in 2 days (didn't see a vicious little bit of glass that got stuck in the tyre after I repaired the tube :( ).
  2nd Night i had to walk my bike home for almost an hour and passed 2 gas stations.
  Both times I was hoping I could get a maxi air boost from the car air pump, but they have no adaptor.
  So I kept pushing til I got home. (my handpump was useless that night)

  So my question is:
  does anyone know where I can find an air pump adaptor that would go from a car diameter to a Presta Valve ?

  Cheers

  I got it from my lbs (cyclelogical in Dublin)
  I know charlie the bike monger does them...
  My lbs can get framset only so I believe you could.

  Not familiar anough with Fixed necessity and rear brake.
  Is that because it can "short cut" my pedaling/breaking?"

  For those who are interested, I got my Creamroller last saturday, only really rode it this morning to my first work commute since the accident.
  I have to say that it rides really well so far, but I'm just getting back onto the bike in 3 -4 months.
  First time fully fixed as well (i was ffreewheeling before).
  I like it, even though will need to get use and loose my coasting habits.

  for the moment, it's all stock execpt the saddle from my old bike.
  (i even have 2 brakes fitted, just to be on safe side psychologicaly)...
  The bikes looks beautiful in real, the cream color is spot on, and goes nicely with the black parts.
  Really happy about that now, but need to ride it more...

  Anyway, they're available for the taking now.
  not the cheapest OTP, but a steady quality ride I'd say
