I've got an absolute fucking emergency here. I need to get a Rohloff to 50mm carbon rim built up tomorrow. Is there ANYONE on here who has various spoke lengths and can do it. I'm in East London, Hackney.
SBC, BLB, and Paradise all appear to be closed tomorrow. I have loads of shifts I can't afford to miss and my current wheel split open today. 🙁 -
I literally have no fucking clue what I'm meant to do on there 🤷

Feel free, for I know not what I do. 😁

I'll look into it tonight. X

Can we at least have a Bright Times Whatsapp group so I don't feel entirely cutoff from everything I'm into?

LFGSS and Microcosm shutting down 16th March 2025 (the day before the Online Safety Act is enforced)
Having been a member of LFGSS under some guise or another since there were less than 150 members, I can honestly say this place changed my life.
The forum and its members, especially in those early days got me through one of the worst periods of my life and helped to give me purpose when I felt I had none.
Over the years it also helped me to see and understand through the way I interacted on here parts of myself that I really didn't like. Unfortunately this resulted in me ruining friendships, and at times taking my self hatred to very dark places, but this was through no fault of the forum or its members.
Having taken a step back from the 'front line' of the forum, and a step back from the social side, I still often remember so fondly the good memories and good people this place helped to bring into my life. The rides, the drinks, and the parties, are some of my happiest memories.
Knowing that LFGSS is always there if and when I need to take a break from myself has been a safety net that is much needed.
I feel genuinely sad to read that it might have to end, but will hold onto the memories even tighter.
Velocio...you did something incredible here. You changed lives.
Love always, Scottnotscot/Archiesgrobags/Black_Rainbow_Project

For anyone who hasn't seen it yet, I strongly urge you to watch this.
Like the film Klunkerz before it it documents one of the most important points in cycling history and is a great reminder of a time when fun was all that mattered. ❤️

I would have had a set ages ago, but they wouldn't do a spider that fit my Gates ring. 🙄

So is it a 30mm specific shell that won't work? You can't use a standard BB shell and then external cups to take the 30mm spindle?
I guess a pair of raw cybercranks would be a nice alternative? 🤔
I 'might' have found someone. 🤞
But thank you!
