What is written painted on the down tube just near the bottom bracket shell ?

aidan good work 'dot'.....maybe we should start some kind of production company together....how does 'wankers are us' sound:)

I will meet you in the toilets of the John Snow to discuss.

photoben Think we need our own B3TA thread....

What is a B3TA ?

velocity boy No photos of cocks please.

Jealous ?

velocity boy Uh-oh. Have we become weight-weenies or something? Surely strength, durability, longevity, aesthetics and the like all count for far far more than a few grams shaved off.

A few grams is, as you point out, pretty pointless - but if you reduce the weight of your bike by a third (or even half!) god knows you will feel it.

Many people will tell you of the epiphany of riding fixed for the first time, how great it felt and so on, the same was true for me, fixed felt great, very connected with the bike/road - equally so the first time I got on a fully geared 17lb bike (coming from a shit 30lb bike) it was unbelievable, it was like riding a gazelle, it was so easy to stop in a tiny distance, to throw around corners and accelerate.

Weight-weenie ? Hell yeah !

hippy Really? Go on..
I use 'em to see just how dehydrated I am. Wouldn't you know it, I'm always VERY fscking dehydrated!

I like the USE posts even though I'm not into weight saving and I love the documentary reporting style from leeww. It's like Which mag for bike parts :)

You should see my alloy bolt reports.

I filed my vertical dropouts to give them some horizontal leeway, worked great.

Although this was on a mountain bike where the dropouts had plenty of meat to work with.

Roberto Uber lightweight, and british made:

The USE alien is great, god knows I have gone through enough of them over the last decade - they are even better now they have redesigned the clamp - but for simplicity and super-lightweight nothing comes close to the New-Ultimate.

The USE Titanium is actually heavier than the standard USE Aluminum post, but the titanium in nicer looking :).

;P ;P ;P - (the New-Ultimate below is wrongly labeled 31.6mm like the gold one above, it is actually 30.9mm)

@adian - :)

dogsballs oops me bad! ignore then. so yeah get them done yourself.

$230 a pair would have been cool, even with customs and excise doing their 'let's add some money on top' thing.

Cheers for the info anyhow.

:)

dogsballs price reasonable though $230 for pair?!

Where did you get your price from, the onlt thing I can see on http://www.mashsf.com/store.html# is $350 - and that does not say whether it is for just the rear or a pair ?

dogsballs Mash SF, available Nov 15th. they won't take pre-orders :( . also got gay mash sign on other side.

Cheers Mr Balls, might be easier, quicker, to buy a Phil hub, strip it down, get it powder coated white. (?)

Anyone know where I might find white Phil hubs in white like those above !?

Google is silent on the subject :(

Cheap chainrings tend not to be perfectly circular - the ones pressed from sheet material are often much less round than CNC'd ones - this can cause loose/tight spots in your drive chain.
