As far as i knew the section on a deep V is like an A shape, so the water isnt under the tyre. Please correct me if im wrong. Im only worried bout corrosion.

Just got some deep Vs and recently got caught in a proper downpour, got home, dried the bike off, then pushing the bike i could hear running water. Basically the area inside the V had filled with water. I looked on my other bike that has shimano wheels and they have drilled it to let the water out. What i want to know is; has anyone seen the section of a deep V and can you tell me how deep from the tyre side of the rim should i drill? Both front and rear are machined (not that that changes anything). If I dont drill it and just let it dry over time, would that cause problems with the aluminium rim and steel spokes? Thanks for any info.

Just trying to look all moody and contemplative, but actually look like i just let rip an arse biscuit.

New boy here, from up north.

Have you got a link for a BC? Thanks.

Same reason people are specific about rim colours and bar tape colours, it would just look nice and a modern clear bottle sticks out like the proverbial. Its not like Im unable to drink out of the others, ive got a clear bottle on at the mo. Just thought it would be an easy find to get one that looks better, how wrong i was.

Thanks loads.

Sorry if I'm being dense, but i can't find the white bottle on there.

You saw straight through me, Im just a plain old, back water, white bottle supremecist.

I would try clipless first to, but as suggested, try em on freewheel first. Don't wanna be learning too many new things at once. I personally thought it was harder getting used to being attached to the pedals than switching to fixed.

That is genius!

Mountain dew! was anybody in school when that was on sale? Did anyone else have a special kid in class who's mum said they weren't allowed to drink it cos it made em go a bit funny?

Lambrini if im feeling saucy

Tab clear all the way baby!

I do drink a lot though, ill look into it.

Though i do have to admit to having a Charge saddle on it. But its oh so comfty. Bob Jackson's have some cool bottles but they are blue yellow and red. Bit too many colours, i get confused too easily.

Havin a mercian bottle on a bob jackson frame, i think thats commiting some offence that i dont yet know about. Thanks for the info, can't find owt on their website unfortunatley. Where is there shop?

Cheers PJ, consider it done, mont ventoux is in lancashire right?

Looked on ebay, all clear and silver coloured aerodynamic reebok JJB sports specials. Nearest i saw was a 3 rensho bottle on tokyo fixed gear. Im just looking for a bottle, not a super rare collectors item with a vintage price tag (im such a tight arse). Thanks furious!

I have the rb-018 on mine, i have loads of hills so didnt want the drop to be too severe. They are prob a little stiffer than the 021s. They are well comfy and really handy in the hills.

Thought it would be an easy find. Just a white plastic bottle with red lid. Any kind of advertising, not bothered who, but cant find a white plastic bottle anywhere unless im willing to buy 100 from america. Any ideas?

I got a wheel built with a normal hub, like number 2 option really, and had it spaced out with some old bearing races, it was a cheap option as it only cost the amount of a wheel lace up. looks a bit wierd with the bearing races, just means you can get good wheel alignment without buyin a specific hub. Don't know if loads of people do this, but it seems to work ok. Then i just put a bmx freewheel on it.

I do a bit of live band photography, and the canon's i have used have been great, currently EOS20D, close up stuff kind of negate's need for any image stabilizing, unless you'r quite shaky. Good thing about going canon as loads of cheap second hand lenses. I use a 50mm lense with massive aperture/f stop for doing dark stuff without a flash (most gigs wont allow flash) and get really sexy arty stuff without trying. You should try lookin at some recondition sites, you can pick up older pro-level stuff at good prices. The eos 300 is really good if your blowing things up really big cos it has a full size sensor, so you get less distortion on the edges of pics, even in comparison to cameras with larger pixel rating. Only reason i go for Canon is cheaper second hand stuff is available cos of the massive amount of it.
