works a treat in my experience, at least in SW London and Surrey. turnaround is usually between one and two weeks.

i very recently had a set of the condor hubs built up. I've only got about 200 miles on the wheels - but they're doing the job so far.
they're noticibly lighter than the goldtec version, the whole asymmetrical profile is sort of strange.
I had a hell of a time getting my cog on though - would go on about 3/4 of a turn then just stop. ended up taking it to condor and got them to do it. just an extremely tight fit - anodizing too thick was their excuse.

I'm actually doing a london to oxford charity ride on July 1st. never played polo before but will def be in the neighbourhood to watch/lend moral support/play.

born in Canada (Guelph - when did you live there Hovis??), currently in Southfields for the past 1.5 years.

i should probably seek professional help anyway, but that's neither here nor there

thanks for the comments all. will take a look this weekend.

Problem:
Driveside BB or pedal spindle making a 'click' noise/jolt every 2nd crank revolution (when the driveside crank gets to about 4 o'clock).
It goes away when I pedal one-footed on the non-drive side, which makes me think it's the right pedal spindle. Everything seems tight. It's an 06 Langster with the stock BB.

Any suggestions as to what the problem is?

Thanks in advance

no sir - originally Canadian, been living in southfields for about a year now

... I had my wheels (open pro/dura ace) built at Stratton Cycles in Wandsworth, and I can't fault the service! They are really nice guys, very friendly and too eager to help! A couple of old pro bike builders in charge there. They actually only charged me for the parts, threw in the labour for free!!!

One more for stratton. Salt of the earth those guys are. Having my deep v's built up there as we speak... :)

+1. My front RIM wore out before i got a puncture using Armadillos.

hamster:the guys over at 53-12.com in essex do velocities. i've ordered a set through them - still waiting on them. will let you know how it turns out...

ok, upon waiting about 8 weeks for these guys i went and bought the rims at brick lane bikes.

you guys are nuts.

tried highgate west hill last night, and failed miserably.
i could blame the fact that it was the end of a 25 mile ride, but won't.

48x17, as well.
