Yeah, they are awesome. There's a video about online where the microphone gets broken, so the guy just screams along without the mic over the drums/guitar/crowd anyway! I'd love to see them live. I love grindcore.

yeah, i've heard of that show. jr is a nut. he used to hang around basement/house shows in the dc area and just sit around and smoke a lot of pot, and tell weird stories, and hit on young girls. probably still does.
do you listen to stuff like love lost but not forgotten or usurp synapse or any of the earlier grind?

'quando' branded hubs are no good, in my experience. similar to formula hubs or dia-compe, but much lower quality materials/workmanship, and much lower tolerances in the the threading. seen a few rears lose their threads after a few months use (changed cogs one to many times?). they're similar (workmanship) quality to suzue junior hubs, but without the looseball bearings. i believe they're the hubs that come stock on a bianchi pista (or used to).

as far as other hubs, suzue promax sb hubs have been problematic with getting the bearings out, since they have such narrow bodies, so they're not that good for beating on, especially at they're price.
surlys are great, had a pair for 2 years, replaced the bearings only once, nice'n easy, strong hubs and surlys a great company to deal with.
phils are by far the best. their stock bearings are awesome, strong as hell, rode through two winters on the same bearings (in boston, which gets much, much worse than london) and they were still fine. they also look really good :)
formula/system ex/etc are pretty good, nice and economically priced and still decent hubs, that look good and will last. had a one strip out, but it was old, so def got my moneys worth.

yes! pig destroyer is brilliant. saw them once back in dc, scariest, most brutal show ever. and once i fell asleep listening to that album. had nightmares all night that the goat/devil/thing on the cover was cutting all my limbs off with a blunt hacksaw. so good.

charge plug, freelocked (with a chain) outside of 'redpepper' restaraunt on holloway road. last night round 10pm. i know you could probably see it through the window, but freelocking on holloway road? not the best idea...

ma3k - the magrite one is amazing. that needs to be a shirt design (to match mash sf's duchamp shirt)

@ma3k - did you get in? keep getting the same message about the invitation code. how do i get one (an invitation code)?

well, now. wasn't there a thread a little while ago about how the 'mainstreaming' of fixed gear and it's absorbtion by the media is a problem? a lot of people on here didn't seem to like their hobby/lifestyle/whatever turned into a marketing ploy. but here we do want to see it on the telly. hmm... conflict of interests i'd say.

the fillmore does have outboard bearing cranks (bontrager). i've worked on a number of lemonds (set up fixed) and have never heard of or come across this issue. are there (too many) spacers on the driveside bb cup? (the hub in question should be a formula/iro/system ex/whatever the hell you want to call it)

pre 98 hardcore? combatwoundedveteran, reversal of man, joshua fit for battle? (why pre 98, loads of really good bands were still around in 99-2002).

fair enough, that makes sense. but i don't have to like it.

i finally got one... and i think i subcribed rather late, so all of yours should be turning up. but don't be too excited, it is possibly the ugliest/worst made cycling cap, ever. can't really complain with free though.

now the real question is why is it that every single time i get on the pavement for 10 meters at about 2mph to get to my door, there's a cop waiting there to yell at me and threaten me, but the local yokels on holloway road can ride in groups of up to 8 at about 15mph for as long as they want, and i've not once seen them even get harrassed for it. and they are actually posing a danger. anyone?

interviews with david frost (whole album, over and over again) by majority rule.

Like how did you guys/girls find out about it?
saw someone riding one back in boston and thought 'hey, that looks like fun'

Why are you interested in "fixie's"
i'm going to agree with the first response to this post: fixie has to be one of the worst words, especially in quotes.
minimalism, aesthetically and functionally. and super control over your bike in any situation.

What trips do you do?
commuting, nite rides, bored rides, fun rides.

Where do you travel?
work, uni, nowhere in particular

Do you meet other "fixie" peeps
wow, two annoying words in a row.
not on purpose, but it happens.

Have u injured yourself?
nothing major, but yes.

And any other exciting pieces of info you have?
the advent of agriculture can be considered one of the major factors in the way that women's roles are often (mis)understood in society.

Oh and pics if possible?

anyone know which station/tv show this clip comes from? something from mtv perhaps?

that was a good idea, stoopidly executed. oh yeah, no one steals bikes in newport, so lets go to compton where they have black people. they'll steal it for sure! @sshole

pinch the tyre all the way round the rim to make sure its sitting in the centre of the rim (away from the raised edges), then try with the pedros lever again, starting at the point opposite the valve. sit on wheel while pushing tyre lever away from you (down). that way you can get all of you body behind the lever. just perservere and you'll get it that way. good luck!

dude on bright orange, no decals frame. on holloway road near the sainsbury's/petrol station thing. last night around 11:30.

bailey works is the best, in my opinion. their bags have a better strap design than chrome (much comfier padding), and the bag proportions are better as well, they fit bulkier, odd shaped stuff (camera, helmet, shoes, etc) better than most. reload bags are also really nice, they make a really awesome backpack, but the strap on their shoulder bags isn't great. also, bailey is by far the nicest company to deal with. site here.

a new brooks would be the way to go. or a barely used old one. they way that they break in is really personal, so if the previous rider sat on the saddle with a different angle to you or had the saddle adjusted differently, all that will effect how well the saddle will conform to you. breaking in a new one is definitely no fun, but in the long run it's worth it. and brooks haven't changed their patterns much in the last 50 years or whatever so you'll still get the original look (once it breaks in). i'd really recommend the team professional model, it's more expensive than the B17, but it's handmade instead of machine made and the quality of the leather and rivets is much higher. it also looks better (lovely black leather with really large copper rivets...mmmmm).

that bmx is absolutley amazing! wish i could still ride... bauer and levan hung out in my shop for a while when i was back in boston (not on that bike) when the metal guys were on tour. nice guys, good to ride/drink with. sniff owell.

sweet, cheers for that. never seen critical mass website!

what is the deal with critical mass in london? (sorry, i know this is a dumb question, but owell)
where does it leave from, what time, etc. (is it like other cities, always on the last friday of the month?) sorry to change subject... cheers.
