want professional results then use a professional lab.

Absolutely. Wouldn't imagine reccomending anything else for a pro. However for the hobbyist, having a high street chain that even understands push and pull is pretty amazing.

If you're out for a bit of unguided riding the cycling maps are fairly handy and free from bike shops, some tube stations and other places. #10 covers most of Central London and attractions.

Sprint towards them screaming "show me your war face" is the only appropriate response.

I might be wrong but I think Snappy Snaps still offer medium format although it's probably on a send away basis like their B&W. They also still do E6.

Incidentally, if you have the carrying capacity on your bike/luggage, the Topeak Road Morph G is a reasonable investment if you go out for longer distance rides. Saves a lot of trawling if you throw a puncture a long way from home.

Otherwise, I use a BETO. Cheap, crap, shoddy design, flimsy parts etc. Never let me down yet.

theres a guy on ebay, called dans cycle workshop.

Sells a lot of 3/32 freewheels, and a few useful bits all for very fair prices.

Thanks for that advice. I ordered one for less than the price of an 1/8 chain so feeling quite pleased with that. I'll soon be able to return from the pub in complete safety.

Yes, but the tolerances against anything less than 20mph make them so unreliable as to be redundant.

If you see a black cab with it's light on, wave at it for good luck.

Might need to bump it up a bit more. Went out to hit the local ten mile TT course and only clocked a 29.56 with a rolling start.

I feel as if I've arrived late to my own party now.

Nevermind, as a resident of the anus of England that is Peterborough I wouldn't have been able to remove said sprocket.

BRM, if it's still up for grabs after removal, send me a PM with a price incl. P&P.

Also, I have a 16t 1/8 for any reasonable offer.

True,

But then it won't be "all the same (tm)".

I'd like to lay my hands on a 3/32 freewheel sprocket (18 or fewer teeth) for the flop side of my hub. Can anyone advise where I should go looking for one of these in the UK?

Before I understood such things I bought a 16t 1/8 and now understand why they are incompatible.

Just a quick word of thanks for the advice. I finally got round to switching the 18 to a 16 and found that this makes a very comfortable gear. I can still get to spinning out on the flat but not nearly as easily.

Just in case you're worried about getting schooled by decrepit looking old men, Audax UK also run an award for the youngest rider to complete a 200k solo (i.e. on their own bike rather than on a tandem). In 1982 the award was won by an eight year old.

Who wants to be his bike was heavier than yours?

Estimates and guesstimates. It's not Countdown mate!!

Do you reckon Carole Vorderman would make a good page 3 girl?

Did it once. Heading along a cycle path I rolled up to a crossing over a dual carriageway, tapped the brakes to stop and casually reached out grab the "Cyclists Dismount" sign. Alas it was not secured into the ground at all and gravity kicked in.

The ignominy hasn't left me to this day.

Yes but Tom expects a lot from you.

Absolutely gutted to have missed this. This has to be the only time I've sat outside a lovely Cotswold Pub enjoying fine local beer and wishing that I was sober in Epping.

Next year, there and back, on fixed.

all I can say it is not me.

Although you could tell quite easily.

Lovely, I did a couple of weeks tour out of Nice last year. As a recommendation, don't lug the bike from the airport, ride it. There's a nice wide cycle lane all the way into town along the sea front.

I think it says a lot about the poverty situation in the north of England if people are paying £217 a month just to piss off a balcony.

In my misspent youth I pissed off the 15th floor of a multi-story car park.

It was free.

No, this fast.

I've been staring at this for five minutes and he hasn't moved a bloody inch.

Just cite that your wheel was damaged in either/both of the collisions and that you intend to make a small claims court representation.

if you don't wish to subsequently be done for a fraudulent representation to a government agency then I reckon a claim could easily be substaniated. Afterall, you have witnesses.

True, they aren't the budget option but I think that investing in the essentials is worthwhile.
