Probs going to buy a new halo aerorage wheel but just checking here to see if anyone is selling one cheap?

Im after a rear wheel with sealed bearings and fixed threads. 120mm Spacing. Will consider anything as long as its not falling apart and is cheaper than £68.

Not in London so needs posting too.

Thanks
Phil

have any pics?

happening?

nah it was just from mine in gosforth down to south sheilds, up to seaton sluice, across to ponteland and back home.

was a training ride for c2c next week

can go for a short one tonight, rode 80km yesterday so pretty tired

Thats the only night I cant go so wont be there.

dunno about you lots but I like the look of this, especially the stickers;

Wow thats really nice, don't usually like stickers on anything.

What frame is that? Where did you find it? Any more pics or spec?

I have a book about cycling across canada with all the maps and routes etc, was thinking of doing it in a few years but don't think its going to happen now.

I much prefer the idea of riding in europe or flying out there and riding home now. I do not like the idea of having to buy some kind of mountain bike or hybrid.

lets go on a bike ride sunday night or monday night

Sorry to bring back this thread but I was wondering, do these hubs actually use sealed cartridge bearings? I've looked at the spec etc and it says they have sealed bearings, but my existing wheels also say they have sealed bearings, which turned out to be cup and cone with a bit of rubber over it...

Chain tugs, cause I'm shit at getting chain tension right and everyone loves a tight chain.

If there are a few people goin I'll go.

Need to get myself back from Whitley Bay in time tho.

Some really nice stuff on there.

I should be up for riding this week sometime.

Cool thanks, i'll look into that.

Been watching this today, pretty interesting but I don't really like the whole world record side of it. Seems to be more about the record than the cycling. Not sure about his Rohloff, would have been easier to use normal gears and fix them with normal tools you carry. Rather than being stuck with a fucked Rohloff in some random desert somewhere.

I read a book by Alastair Humphreys, who also cycled round the world. Only he took 4 years to do it. Sounds like he had a much better time, Staying with strangers, spending time in each country etc...

Might be up for that if the weather is good!

see yous at 7

So whos up for riding tomoro?

I dont finish work till 6 now so could meet at 7 again?

I find that the most annoying though. If I see a new topic with the title 'what colour shall I spray my frame?' I can just ignore it. But if I'm reading a thread and someone types in text message speak and misses words out, it becomes irritating to read.

This is a good idea, but I'm not sure if it will fully deter retards. With this system it's only a matter of time before new members can be full members. They don't have to earn it.

I was on another forum a while back, trials-forum.co.uk and they have a similar system in place. All new members get put into a pre-members forum, away from the main threads, where they can say what they like and start new threads etc.. Then every so often a moderator goes through the threads posted and picks out people to be validated based on punctuation, spelling, if the post is worth posting etc... Once validated they are full members.

Might be a bit of effort but it does work.

Cool, i'll pop down before work, what's you name?

Who works for recykebikey? I was thinkin of doing some voluntary work for them fixing up the bikes as I'm as bit of a bum at the min..

I bought an old racer from them a few months ago and just finished converting it to fixed, just need some pedals and I can ride it..

I'm up for a sunday ride! as long as its after 5pm.

What do you need to do to get a fixed setup? I reckon denton is the best atm. And edinburgh cycles are good. Everywhere else is either really snobby or doesn't want anything to do with fixed gears.

are these for sale or what?

Guys it just started raining pretty heavy at mine, don't think this ride os gonna happen, maybe next week the weather will be better.

Hope you get this before you set off.
