whats that gearing skullhead? good for over a ton i reckon

ok, cheers.
for anyone who needs help finding out the right number of teeth, check out this gear chart.

any gearing suggestions for the track?

or as this is probably a competitive day(Sun 25th May, 1pm - LondonFgSs Spring Track Day Event at Herne Hill Velodrome) and most will keep their special gearing under wraps to blow away the competition a pointer as to whether my 48/18 is a good start (i'd be a track novice)

whats the theory, is it to reach your ultimate spinning speed and keep it up for the duration without it being too easy that your legs flap wildly?
or use brute force to push the tallest gearing you can at a reasonable spin?

cheers for the maestro contact, have emailed them

dogsballs: in that case i have a chesini you'll dribble over at home, i havent any photos to hand but i'll be sure to post em in the future for you(prob next week after a long weekend trip to woolacombe bay) i've been collecting parts for it for ages. hoping to get it out in the summer.

my prob is i'm being really picky about this frame, i saw one a few years back and dribbled all over it in condor cycles, god i wish i could have afforded it back then.

I've been trying to find one of these in red for a long time now, there have been a few variations of rear stays over the years. i'm after any with carbon forks/rear stays (MASTER/carbon, colourscheme PRO7), so far no luck, just spotted a blue one on ebay but my hearts just not in that colour.

appreciate any help/eyes to find one.
after sizes around 56-58 seat tube
cheers

sorry man, feel for you, i now wont be going there EVER!

well thats pretty piss poor customer service, i've never been there but they sound like a bunch of cowboys, could you imagine if that happened to some full carbon crankset that cost a coupla hundred or more.

or very good computer graphics

thats so damn cool!, i dont believe it for a second though , would have to be over 70 mph??

leave a white pin line round the IRO if you do it, or an inverse of that i reckon.
nice bike.

thanks very much, found it, if you hover over the three options for subscribing to someones pics it tells you in the bottom of the browser (pc)

I'm struggling here, it seems like it should be stupidly easy yet it eludes me.
i cant find the right code to put in.
i think mine should be:

but it doesnt seem to work

a couple of inches suspension.......? perhaps not enough when lying on an angular ally girder

I've kind of ruled out Witcomb after this dafoney business - will only do my dough with a company I can respect.

what does that mean? i dont know much about ride experience on a witcomb but Barrie(Witcomb) has been very helpful to me and friends in the past and they seem very reputable. just wonder how they seem to have earned a bad rep.
cheers

does that mean a fixed conversion is ok on the track? so long as you have drops and no brakes?
just to be sure

cheers

The tubs i had felt great(spin up nicely, soo light), but the rear puncture was in week two. I might have a go at a latex repair job before i get rid of it then.

gatorskin tubs, i had no idea!

I have a few Tufo tubular clinchers, does anyone have any first hand experience of them in a city environment?

i guess i kind of know the answer, just hope that maybe i am wrong.

I'm under the impression that continental gatorskins are one of the best street tires. but....

I have a few Tufo tubular clinchers, does anyone have any first hand experience of them in a city environment? as i'd hate to ruin them within two weeks(if they should even last that long in that environment) like the last set of Panaracer(kevlar practice dual guard) tubulars i dared ride but i would like to enjoy them.

doh! don't you just hate that. many a time for being a tight ass.

thanks for the heads up BMMF!

is it still open to anyone?
do we need to be on a list or just turn up?
do we need any experience to go on the track?
and lastly are there rules of footwear/are my clip ins ok or do you need cages?

sorry for all the lame questions, it sounds like a really exciting day from what i have read through the beginning of the discussion.

i'd love to be involved : )
