I can't see why not as long as there is enough stem in the steerer. Has anyone done this before?

good job - it would be good to get information on how locks were broken where possible to spread the word about how thieves work. we should also publicise the blog so it becomes used by all cyclists and vigilante groups in london.

Very bad idea.

but i did it last night. Can't even remember getting home. I've been getting flashbacks of swerving into the middle of the road and bouncing off the kerb.

shouldn't have done it. but somehow got home.

merry christmas, i say!

bloody hell! - the guy that hits the barrier at the top flies for ever.

hip hip hooray!

danDNA, nice bike - as mentioned before you might want to bring he cable out of the other side of the lever. but...what lever is it? - i've been looking for a silver crosslever and haven't found one.

ha! brilliant!

lucky & silver - what do you both do?

urban designer me - can you see plans on my screen? - its for a small but growing town in the Thames Gateway.[/quote]

So you are the man responsible for all these atrocious towns in that area.[/quote]

can't help myself...amazing thread...

i find it harder when its wet as the tongue thingy slips on the sole.

actually briankwan have you used the "report item" function on ebay to report all your stuff as stolen? don't know what happens but i imagine not much.

it would be good if someone could leave feedback or hack into his account or something putting a warning that this guy sells stolen stuff.

not saying he's on our side, just pointing out he's probably not the thief.

it seems that the guy selling the stuff on ebay is genuine, he probably only bought it from the thief.

aidan [quote]silver So i think yes, people should buy these t-shirts and they should get pissed of with drivers....when there is something wrong tolerance won't make it right.

so with this logic you just made up we as cyclist are aloud to get pissed off with drivers...which means drivers are aloud to get pissed off with cyclist....when drivers get pissed off with cyclists they crash into them and when cylist get pissed off with drivers they throw there bike through the drivers windscreen...
wow ever thought of getting into politics?[/quote]

i'm hoping things won't go that far - but the problem has to be identified then solved. And the solution has to be that everyone can co-exist on the streets without fear for their lives or having to cower inside ultra-segregated bike lanes protected on all sides by shatter-proof persplex....or somehting like that.

the point is..

there is currently a clash of cultures in the streets of london brought about my the massive increase in cyclists over the last few years. This clash is principally derived from conflicting views of ownership over the said streets.

In the last 40 years there has been an attitude of segregating all modes of transport, both by users and the authorities. This has bread a culture where each mode believes they have their own space and any overlap is interference.

Alas, this attitude is now changing, in theory at least. Starting with the authorities and (hopefully) seeping down to the users.

In practice, some particular users don't see things this way, they still think that each mode should be in their own space. Pedestrians on pavements, cyclists on cycle lanes and cars on roads - and this is what needs changed.

The point is that the clash of cultures has to become explicit to the extent that the authorities take notice and campaign to change the attitude towards ownership over streets to how things used to be - - Victorian streets never had pavements, they were for everyone.

So i think yes, people should buy these t-shirts and they should get pissed of with drivers....when there is something wrong tolerance won't make it right.

......on the other hand i guess everyone is just trying to get home.

I've had problems in the past fitting a race - from what i remember there are very small size differences in size - i solved the problem by buying another headset (1") and the race fitted fine....!?

thanks - i guess i was just hoping they were an amazing find - because of the high flange hubs.

i've got a pair of hardly used milremo 27" wheels - does anyone know it they're any good?....i did a quick search for milremo on the net but didn't find much about them.

Is it worth re-dishing the back wheel to put it on a vintage fixed bike build? - or should i just get a new 27" back wheel made?

i wanted miche because i like their easy removal system - which means i don't need to buy a chainwhip.

they do 3/32....but the largest i found was 19t.

anyone has any idea where i can find the above - do they even exist?
