  Thanks for the link, I've had a quick root around and I'm worried that there could be a crack in the frame where the BB fits. Can this be repaired?

  Crikey I've been getting a clicking (about 3 per revolution) coming from my newly fitted bottom bracket, chain ring, chain and rear wheel. Thing is sometimes it clicks for a while and it's really loud but then I can go of somewhere and nail the bike for a few hours and it doesn't make a sound at all. I'm confused.

  I just hope that trucks and buses can't cross over into them and create huge craters. I also hope they are free from speed humps that are present on the cycle lane on Royal College Street, Camden.

  True, glory holes can be a bit impersonal.

  How do you get to know people?

  I find a rough shag up the shitter usually helps speed the process along.

  i have modified my route to avoid.

  So have I, I nail it straight down to Regents Park, unfortunately that road has now become a building site with squillions of sharp little bits of gravel to puncture your tyres.

  Meat and 2 veg is boring, fortunately most of English food isn't this.

  Depends which way you swing. I personally prefer a ham wallet.

  There's a little piece of road I find proper bad just as you pass Swiss Cottage on Finchley Road, then pass through/over the junction onto a very small stretch of Adelaide Road and back onto Finchley Road. There's chuffing cars coming at you from all angles, it's poorly lit and it feels like you're cycling over a fault line.

  Another annoyance is cycling up Pentonville Road, as you're pushed further onto the curbside the buses and trucks weight have caused the road to ripple - a right proper bast*rd.

  All of Kingsland Road is pretty shite as well.

  Saw a crevice the size of Jordans clevage whilst peeling off the roundabout onto Walworth Road t'other day that nearly made me fill my pants.

  Do these shenanigans carry on every week? I live about a 15 minute cycle from that pub and I'm about to be made redundant so they'll be plenty more beer swilling time.

  This morning; Balls Pond Road then turning left onto Essex Road - Purple fixed with Gold rims.
  Then going down Pentonville Road - two fixies; one green with white front 'spok and blue stussy hat and a black bike with the guy carrying a black messenger bag with something written on the back.

  I don't think eye contact was at the top of our agenda's this morning :-D
