please please please get a mac

they may be slightly more expensive (education discounts are great though) but well worth it
and if you ran a pc and a mac with the same amount of ram the mac would run faster so you can't compare specs like that

plus your college macs
plus you won't get viruses or need to spend money of firewalls etc.
plus your mac won't go out of date in 2 years (i use a 4 year old g4 laptop and it runs fantasticilly even with the newest software)

yeah thats me done
(ps i don't work for apple)

yeah it is tapered but the tapering is little or nothing by the time you get to the head end of the mallet
if that makes any sense..

thanks tomasito that sounds like it will work ill do a test run.
Monsieur Brick I don't think that technique will work for my golf clubs as the hole down the middle is not very big.

i have some golf clubs id like to make into polo mallets but after chopping off the ends,
ive realised they are rather thin - 1cm diameter

Do you think drilling them and using a very thin bolt would be ok or is there any other recommended technique?
i did see some golf club mallets at the polo tournament but didn't inspect them..

i know its already been said but it really was such a great day
I wasn't playing but was there all day and the atmosphere from all the spectators made it fantastic - the tension in the semifinals and finals was incredible

i think polo is definitley the best game EVER to watch [and play] - so much more interesting than football, basketball or anything else in the olympics
so thanks again for a great day

thanks,
out of interest do you use a 3/32 or 1/8 chain?
im thinking 1/8 would be preferable but does this mean I need a 1/8 chainring? (and definitley sprocket)
what im trying to say is can you use a 1/8 chain on a 3/32 chainring.

thanks yet again
(of course i know who sheldon brown is!)

Bernhard Re: Half chainring bolts, these are bolts that are shorter than regular chainring bolts that are designed to go through 2 chain rings and the crank, half chainring bolts are used for single chainrings and the crank. I expect PJ built a new rear wheel for the bike using a track hub.

bernhard - your powers of deducution are amazing

thanks very much for the half chainring bolts explanation

the paint job is hot - don't change it!

thanks pajamas (btw i do understand gear inches but info on chainrings is useful)

pj - does that mean you're running a suicide hub?
i don't know what you mean by "put on with half chainring bolts"

thanks guys

54cm frame size or thereabouts - ive got a 32" inside leg

i was hoping i wouldn't need any crank involvement - never converted fixed before only singlespeed(!)
what kind of thing do you mean by that - something to do with chainline or what...?

im looking for a full bike for converting as i currently am riding a borrowed bike (as my previous bike was stolen)

preferablly id like something with 120mm spacing and not too big but anything will do really, as long as its cheap and has wheels and cranks and everything

yes, i have been trawling ebay and gumtree etc. but thought id post here aswell

thanks

how much for the fuji roughly?

the fat kids should be given (re-enforced) bikes and told to ride non-stop till they are thin again

travis perkins rock my world

new gaffer tape re-enforced edition

are the handle bars and cranks in reasonable condition?

also are all the frames mountain bike ones (135mm spacing) or are any suitable to take track hubs?

thanks

sorry i need a rear hub, i think im gonna go for this cheap as chips one -

i got a front you can have cheap as shit.

so you would accept shit as payment?

did you buy a new hub or was that on your wheels you had lying around.
if so how much? - im in the market for a cheap track hub as we speak

ah!

ok then ill avoid that method, thanks for the warning..

thanks,
im hoping that i won't need to redish the wheel as, as you said, then the other side won't work.
But with any luck i can space the freewheel a little further out and use spacers on the chainring.
Ill just have to see how it works out when my new hub arrives..

amen

sorry i forgot to mention im talking about a singlespeed screw on such as this -

thanks
one more -
how would you space this for a good chain line, im presuming this meens the frewheel screws on right up to the hub...

hi

is it possible to use a screw on freewheel on a double fixed track hub?
if yes then do you use a lockring with it or how does it work?

screw on freewheels are currently confusing me alot so any advice would be appreciated.

[sorry if this has been covered in another thread - i couldn't find anything]

Cohen way to go, good work... on second look at my shoddy painting i think gabes might be right... i should paint to the edges.

i might bring down my gold chrome spraypaint which looks really realistic

then you could do the edges with that and it would look WELL SEXY,
however i think i might be running low on chrome..

yea boi

ready to spray
