Come to critical mass on friday. Pace is a bit slow, but a good way to meet peeps (btw anyone going this week?) and we always end up at a pub.

Anything non pvc/shatterable. High pressure waste piping I think.
I'll have a look too.
Re: Track Punx, prob wont be able to make any new/repair mallets, so just use the ones we got.

This is going to be a regular thing.
Start off with once a month, fixed time and fixed place.
If anyone wants to organise another one in between feel free.

Sounds good to me, jumpers for goal posts!

Last minute mallet mash up.
What time is best for everyone - 2pm provisional?
Weather permitting.

Sorry I'm late to the party - I have them they're pretty good for the price. You will need a miche thread lockring, but cogs are fine.

I'm all over Manchester blud. I might even book half day Friday or even a WHOLE day, omglolwtf.

Will people stop having alleycats when I'm in a different country!?!
It's starting to piss me off and I'm starting to think yous dont like me.

White fixed been tested/ridden on the 7th floor of the mailbox about 11ish.

I had the bestest double espresso today from the cafeteria in a tower block, it was very smooth and creamy and barely bitter, and complex-ish. It's a shame that espressos are so short and that some 'proper' cafes cannot always produce such awesomeness.

pleeease tell me where, im dying of thirst ya hear, wheez

Saw lee through a filter of extreme wind and rain, he looked soaked to the bone.

Well I ain't fixed the mallets yet as everyweekend since the last event people have been randomly showing up, demanding to be entertained and crashing out our place.
I'll endeavour to repair and improve the mallets this weekend.
I'm up for the MCR ride and could offer a place to crash for one possible two peeps.

ffs i'll be cruising the streets of berlin as of that weekend!!!

44:17 good all round
going up to 46:17 soon/next bike

However I have my own take on ratios:- Either the chainring or cog should be a prime number so that your skid patches are high.
It's the one thing I think you should all adopt. Primes rule.

Heal up gav and pst88.
I got knocked off my bike last week on the Pershore road near the cricket ground.
I was riding to work on the right-hand side of gridlocked traffic when out of nowhere some ignorant prick pulls a 'U' without checking his mirrors, indicating or really checking to see if there was oncoming traffic, I say this last part because as I passed he smashed into my left hand side, which lifted me over his bonnet throught the air and skidding on my face, shoulder, forearm, and hip into oncoming traffic (scars to prove it).
The first car coming managed to stop about 3m away from me (so definitly would have had to brake for him if he'd made his u turn), which shook up driver.
First thing the guy does is check his car, the he comes over to ask me what I thought I was doing?
I was a bit stunned/concussed but not that stupid so i replied;
"I was riding my bike what's your excuse?"
he; "Well you should be riding on the left mate..." etc, he knew he was 100% in the wrong.

I was shocked to hear that (motor) insurance companies tell drivers not to apologise, as it implies fault and responsibility. So if you don't it makes it easier to dismiss a claim by the other party!!!
Didn't even get his reg. The lady who stopped to help me on the other hand tried to hide my bike in a dentist so that I wouldn't go to work as she wanted to take me to a+e.

I'm sick of you fakenscooters appropriating our sub-culture and turning into some hipster fad.
Scooters are a practical low maintenance method for couriers to get round the city.
Your ride looks like you just bought it pre-fab from toys'r'us, (your deep t bars are lame btw) I spent months sourcing my parts.
Why don't you just go back to Shoreditch?!

Pow!
An associate of mine is looking to build his first 'fixed' but I think he might have fallen off his bike and knocked his head as he only wants campagnolo parts, with the exception of the frame.
Any of yous got some parts lying about that you could exchanged for some of the bank of England's finest?!

I'm also converting another bike to single speed and require some gentlemanly touring handlebars.

Cheers all.

Sure - maybe with a fast spin round the city centre!?

Got knocked down the other day
Guy messed up my front rim - not too bad - and brake (his jag took some chewing I'm glad to say). Worth repairing or should I build new one?
Anyone got a spare double rim?

Is anyone interested as to why it seems there has been an (mini)explosion of fixed in brum?

Bullring bikes, spoke to the owners v v briefly as I was on the job. Told them about the forum.
The red bike has a weird rear hub; the eyelets for the spokes looked mounted and faced towards the rim I think.

(re)Building the mallets this weekend to a higher standard. While I will miss shards of piping flying through the air it will make the games last longer.

If people want a knock around I'm up for it most evenings (depending if the flood lights work) or on weekends. Need to get some practice in if we're going to take on london, manchester and oxford crews.

I didn't come off my bike though which makes me bike joust king, who wants some?!
