Ah well you are a nice guy. When you coming back on BTDT?

Bought a complete as my first SS/fixed back in about 2005/6 from SJS (http://www.websites on the decals, oooh), they called it their Winter bike. Steered like a boat, weighed a ton. But was a great intro. Had full guards and medium-long track ends. And they fitted SKS secu-clips on the rear so you could disconnect the rear guard and flex it enough to slip the wheel out. Was a really good, neat solution. Notably, knowall types in bike shops took pains to tell me the clips were ‘wrong’ and should only be on front guards. Took a while for me to realise why SJS had sensibly built them this way, and be able to put the patronizing bikeshop men right.

oooh that potato head! never heard that

🙏

Looks promising that the bearings are allegedly user-replaceable.

@adamdenw asked a year ago, no-one replied. Maybe they went ahead and tried it?

Ministry of Sound on a Wednesday night. We aren't 25 anymore man!

But have you seen the lineup?! Gonna be bonkers

They made so many deep records!

Thanks for listening you lot^ ✊

did you re-radius the honjos that snapped?

nope

I am planning on creating a boss out of an old broken guard this time. Diamond shaped section and another fillet underneath, epoxyed to the new guard. Drill through all 3 layers. 🤞

PS I think the front guard twist problem is worse on daruma fixings at the fork, my thorn has two direct mount bolts which really stops the flex rotating at the fork

Gilles Berthoud? Do they come wide enough? Order 700xWidest and re-radius?

Re: mudguard wiggle… double the stays. Done this on 26x60mm GBs on my Thorn, works a treat.

Just posted this tracklist on the Mixcloud page

Lovely to hear. I adore loads of the releases and found it pretty hard to select this.

Here's the tracklist. Got quite emosh when I played Steve Cobby & Danielle Moore's recent track, as mixed by Ashley Beedle. Is anyone else going to come to Ashley's benefit at Ministry on Nov 27th? Got my ticket.

Mixed from Pork Recordings & Declassé releases, with the exception of the Hearts of Darkness dub (The Ruf Label)
Hope you like it. x

Hull Special show here - just me in the studio this month. Looking forward to getting a guest down next time. I have 1h07m by @AlexD I might play if no live guest.

Yeah… that’s brilliant

Ended up hardly playing any FB, much. Leaning on some of the other label mates and Fila-related side projects

Forgot to bump with this beforehand, just finished two hours of Hull sounds on BTDT. Hope you can catch it on Mixcloud later this week if that’s interesting

Buy more litelocks!

Cheers tho

Faith in humanity restored!

Wow massive props to @coppiThat for spotting and reuniting, what a banging story. Congrats futurematt.
