I used to use a length of copper pipe as it's so soft it will always bend before damaging the race.
Just tap gently around the race until it's seated nicely. Can take a while but slow is the way to go.

Fixie (When it had a brake) - Right hand = front brake
BMX - Right hand = rear brake
Mountain Bike - I couldn't honestly tell you without getting on the bike.

That's just my preference though.

Pink - My vietnam

Huey Lewis and the News - The power of love
edit - Too Late

Okay. That's my life rearranged. I'm sleeping on Saturday then going out on saturday night then meeting you guys at 9am for the ride. Don't worry I'll make sure I have some sleep between going out and the ride.

Sod the bars, just put your thumbs through the stem?

Sometimes. I try not to be out of the house before seven though.

Pretty much any BMX seatpost ever is 25.4. Check cyclesportbmx.co.uk or crucialbmx.com for pretty colours.

If they have nothing then http://www.winstanleysbmx.com stocks "all the brands" - though their customer service is horrific.

They definitely seem happy. And considering their current use I think your friend was right about them being a bit gay.

@ Carlos. Thanks for the pink velcro on Sunday. I've added the plumbing insulation now and am definitely the owner of the most hideousbeautiful top tube protector in town.

Sano Yeah, I have. let me check tonight which ones, though - Think there's some Nitros in there. Couple of seasons old, but brand new and unworn. £40? or something

If they fit I'll take them.

Any boots in a size 8? And any idea on prices if I have no parts that you want?

Who else is riding it brakeless?

Does anyone have a 135mm fixed/free rear hub. Can pay in parts or coins.

Is anyone bidding on this as I have a compulsion to buy it?[/quote]
did you get it? £290 aint bad![/quote]

290 is a damned good price but I couldn't justify the cash right now. It would have been 350 with postage and this month is already making me feel poor. I'm going to get the Sunday build out of the way first then start looking for a new fixed project. Should be around about March.

I've got a mountain bike which is begging to be made into fixed too (It has track ends). Likely a polo bike of some sort.
Don't suppose you've seen a 135mm fixed/free anywhere cheap?

Smear, You know I don't eat egg.

My advice is don't get large gauge guiche piercings if you're a cyclist.

Elvis [quote]Object17 Also I'm planning on keeping my 44:16 ratio and I run brakeless. Is this just insane?

Might be going down the hill into Brighton. It's pretty fast.[/quote]

I've got no room on my bars for a brake lever and a rim with no brake surface. Maybe I'll just have to walk down the hill :]

BringMeMyFix [quote]TheBrick(Tommy) We should grab a pub lunch by the sea when we arrive. Roast Beef / pork/ lamb / chicken / air, depending on your taste, religious and moral standing.

That'll be 'air' for me then, seeing as I'm a veggie.[/quote]

Seconded. I'm vegan and an ex-brighton local so I'll be happy to take a splinter group of moral people somewhere else, provided I can make it that is.

I always use BMX grips. Love them to pieces. That said ride BMX so I've always got a spare pair or two floating around at home.

That's horrific. Apologies for your loss and I hope you can find a suitably beautiful replacement from a company who understand people.

Damnit.

Wish me and bidsniper.com some luck for the Albuch Kotter we're bidsding on. It finishes tonight.

I concur. The site is fubar.

I'm going out on Saturday night so it is all a question of circumstance as to whether I make it or not.
