Cool, anyone else coming?

I live near Newcastle, had a ride through town with my mate the other week, we're both on fixeds.
Will tell him about this and come join you's, was all fun cycling round with him until we stopped and met friends.
Seen one or two in town, always a shocker.

monument at 7 as long as its not raining shall we say?

you dont think it will hold?

The hub is aluminium, cant be welded, but the guy managed to erm.... 'smoosh' the metal of the hub around the sprocket so it cant come off, the sprocket remains unharmed too, ive not ridden it yet as i need pedals but ive tried to get the sprocket off with a chain whip and couldnt, i think it will hold till i can afford a new wheel at least.

I think I might start a clothing brand called 'Deaf Cyclist' I like the sound of it.

To be honest I don't think any kind of clothing worn will warn people that you are deaf. Even a long message explaining it, I can see being worn by someone trying to be cool.

I think you would be better off having some kind of sign on the actual bike, though I' sure it would be hard to see.

Ok anyone fancy riding on wed night? Think there is at least 3 of us going so far..

Can I just jump in and ask something...

I found a powdercoat place near mine (Newcastle). In the past I have been quoted around £60 for painting my frame, but these guys said they can do it for £10-£15.

Appart from that horrific website they seem OK to me. Reckon I should be wary?

I had this last week while working on a conversion, it was just a stiff link but it went away after slackening the chain tension. Try turning the cranks really slowly and wait for the click, see which link is about to go round the sprocket/chainring and mark it. Spin a few more times and repeat. If its the same place then its a stiff link.

they look nice! i might be interested, how much would you want?

So does that Paul-E Lever have a larger clamp to fit road bars? I would get it if it was £40. How can it cost so much?

alleycat with 4 people, sounds good!

Im up for it as always, maybe something a bit shorter this time? Free Mon, Wed and Thursday

Pet shop/sewer.

i just used a rats tail on mine, 10 mins filing, not too bad

Might have been the levers I have then. What about odyssey monolevers?

I dunno like, i have 2 bmx levers attached to 2 different handlebars, both 26mm clamp (the bars) and neither fit. I had to file out the centre of the lever clamp to get them on there.

its not superglue?! maybe im thinking of something else.

my wheel is a pile of shit anyway so when anything wears out ill just replace it.

anyway, does loctite even hold the sprocket in place? i just rode mine with nothing on and the slightest backpedal unscrews it, i cant see superglue doing much!

nahh, i still reckon its steel anyway

I think i have the same hub, i threaded a fixed sprocket on there and im gonna see if i can weld it on

maybe, ill have a better test later.

if i cant weld it is there any other way of keeping it on there? other than loctite?

the magnet sticks, its not alu

youre probably right, i know a guy who can weld but he hasnt had a look at it yet, i dont really understand what can be welded and what cant be. i take it aluminium cant be?

fred, you were wrong im afraid. i think.

anyway, i got the nuts, think they were 7mm or something. just need to weld the sprocket now and its done.

Fancy a ride on tuesday eve anyone? Or monday, think there may be a few more people up for it this week.
