If you leave the end of the head (the part that you strike the ball with) as a tube cross section, you introduce quite a few unneeded glancing angles that make the strike less predictable - if you really want to get your professional bike polo ass on this (and become some kind of Brick Lane sex hero) it might help to cap these two open ends to give you a single flat (although I recommend a slight convex) striking surface on each end.

Although you might not really give a shit, in which case carry on.

Nice job by the way.

Does anyone have any tips for capping the ends of the mallet head? What to use etc...

I find occasionally that the ball doesn't hit straight. I'm sure its nothing to do with the fact that I'm shite at polo.

No, I'm never riding a bike again. Hope you got my text.

polo! im there

yep 3 at monument

yeah should be a good ride! ill bring a sack full of inner tubes.

pete that route looks alright. combined with the ride to/from monument and getting lost, it might end up around 20-25 miles

so who's up 4 a ride on saturday meet between 2-4 and ride to wylam stop 4 a drink and ride back?

Suppose I will come! I try and get a route up later today.

Spotted - light blue frame with white deep v rims and brown charge saddle, outside the book shop near Newcastle uni.

That's Ali's but I heard it was broken

sure ill bring 2

polo/tricks

6.30 at the courts i reckon

Shit. Is it your flip flop hub? Do you have the other side to use for now?

that looks like fun! what ratio is it?

polo is good for me tomoro

only my polo bike is in working order so no ride for me tonight

sounds like it would have been just us 3 anyway! can anyone play tomorrow?

if everyone does wanna play tonight i can get to town and buy a ball. i have 2 mallets also

Yeah, someone bring a floodlight eh?

excellent ride, im off to bed

right im goin in for 6

im fine with 6 but if more people prefer 7 then ok... i do think 6 is a better idea though, for the amount of people that will be around

Me too

some 1 1/8 stems come with a shim to use with a 1inch.

Yep, think i'm gonna take that route home too.

going to be awkward to get in for 6 but i will try my best

At least you will have the shortest ride home!

My computer tells me its gonna be sunny! If there are loads of those running people there we can always start slightly further down the track..

Although I don't think there will be many runners on the startling line 4 hours before the race.

After tonight's mostly unsuccessful ride I did a search and found these, not sure how bright they are though but the first one comes with 4 lights I think.

Monument at 7 everyone?

Yep, thanks for the offer though. We found about 5 meters of this stuff, just played a game with it, excellent.

I have 2 mallets, peter has 2, matt 1...we may need another if anyone can improvise. ill bring mallet heads if people wanna build them later.

see yous at 6.30
