would be interested in the hubs but not the silly rims if you split.

On thieving. I still stand to my opinion that thieving is plain wrong. It doesn't make any difference to me whether you're using the money you made from it to feed your dying family or to fund your crack habit, in any country in the world. If you need food or money, go find some work and do a proper honorable job to make things work. Whatever way works without causing any other person harm. If you are to tell me that people are dying in your family that's most likely because you've sat on your fat arse too long before resorting to stealing. Honesty and work makes your life worth living and pays for whatever you need and desire. Don't give me that Robin Hood bollocks. You can say the rich stole from the poor but it doesn't make it right to commit a crime against another crime.

By the way I did not start this thread to have people throw profanity at each other. GA2G has been a gent and offered me a wheel. This is a free country and people are entitled to have their own opinions unless their actions become a civil liability. A person can say something that you don't agree with but that's no reason to decide that person is a complete tosser and start calling names. I've been off the forum for almost 2 years because I got rather sick with that sort of thing. Let's call it a day shall we?

when you say buckled for the Hope/mavic SUP do you mean the rim is buckled?
dibs if the rim is sound!

edmundane, have you checked with the Queensbridge Safer Neighbourhood Team?

Recent story of wheel recovery here:

The officer in question is with the Queensbridge SNT. Who knows, he may have seen something, and it may even have been the same thief (whom it seems they're charging). Worth a try!

Goodness gracious, 44 posts later, finally something bang on topic.

Thanks a lot Oliver, will have a look!

Well thanks GA2G, I get your point. In fact since I started cycling and have owned and sold off just over 10 bikes this is the first time so far I've had something stolen. And I know what locks work even before you started that thread, good job on that, it's a really good thread. And that is why I said in the first place it's my bad. It's even in the first 3 words in the post.

For what I see now the issue here that people are disagreeing with you is simply that you sound like you think it's completely my fault until you sort of clarified in the last post. And I still couldn't fathom for what reason on earth can you say a theft can be caused by carelessness. By definition a theft is an action motivated by greed from the person who steals in the first place. If the skirt analogy doesn't work, how about this: Your neighbour has a particularly loose wife and he's oblivious, but would you, as an honourable man, as inviting as she would be, take her home and shag her senseless?

GA2G, I am partly to blame and I accept it - as I posted in the first place. That "burn in hell" line wasn't meant as a literal thing to say, it was emotional, similar in a way you have your (I feel) emotionally tinged opinion that it's completely my fault.

If you can laugh at it, I think I can laugh at it too - the fact that someone can think that stealing another person's property in any way is somehow justifable because of said person's neglect.

Tell me about it. More of a pity that the scum like the one who stole it do exist.

Well, my bad for not locking both wheels up in such a black spot (a place I've avoided for long), but my back wheel was stolen off my red KHS locked up in infamous E8. The canute who did the job apparently has a 15mm spanner ready.

36h Miche hub laced onto Mavic Open SUP anodised rim, white rubino, 18t old school villiers cog, spesh inner tube with yellow valve cap.

The hub is one of the newer types with the Miche logo printed on the sides of the flanges BUT I have polished them off so it would be pretty easy to spot. If anyone sells you this wheel, please buy it and I'll pay you back - and let me know who it is so I can put a mini d-lock round their neck.

May all thieves burn in hell!

photo is private?

2nd dibs on wheels if you split... damn, 14 hours late.

they look like 36 instead of 32 to me

look closely you'll see that was a suicide hub.

dibs on seatpost

oooh
what rims are those?

haha, hell yeah, back here to flog stuff!

personally i'm not sure what bb size will do, haven't ridden on these myself. tapers seem to fit ISO (spindle goes in a bit shallow on a JIS) but the cranks just hits the chainstays when mounted on a campag pista bb (ISO 109mm).
so probably a campag centaur 111mm will sort you out. if not get a miche bb since it's adjustable both sides.

chainring is 44t 3/32, no brand. still quite a bit of life left it in.
144BCD, if you dont like this ring any track chainring will do nicely.

cranks £40
chainring £5

have a nice pair of old school SR cranks with chainring bolts but no ring the size you fancy. only a 44t.
will upload pics later.

the silver flat bar + a-head stem - is the stem for 1" steerer?

bah

johnnyringo, what hub are you running?

miche lockring thread = campag = italian thread
DA = ISO

for an ITALIAN HUB - miche or campag
if you want to use a phil lockring make sure it's italian thread.

if you want to use a campag lockring make sure you use a steel one not one of those alloy ones esp. if you skid.

i run stock miche lockrings and ride brakeless it hasn't failed me for 2 years, and wonder why people say they're shit. just rotafix the cog and do the lockring up properly. job done.

now please don't have someone come post and say miche lockrings are french threaded. THEY ARE NOT. only mavic and maillard use that crap.

what exactly is it that your mum find it dangerous anyway?
