mks track pedals

Hello all,

The bottom bracket on my bike is about 26cm's from the floor. Which I think is quite low? Anyway, I've got 170mm cranks on there, and am always wary of clipping the floor when cornering. So, I was thinking of getting some shorter cranks, to give myself a little more clearance. (only get less than 90mm at the mo, infact less still taking in to consideration pedal depth and 'toe pointing')

I was just wondering if anyone had recently made a crank change like this and noticed any particlur loss of leverage etc, making it hard work to cycle/ start off/ maintain speed etc... Or if anyone has any general crank related tips...

Cheers all.

I cycled home the other night after a "do". Now, the plan was a couple of beers, a few orange juices, and an early evening ride home. Now, the beer was free. All of them. The cocktails were free. All of them. The time was three (which ryhmes with 3).

I had thought to myself, I'll just take it easy, go slow and be very careful, but! It turns out I had zero control. I couldn't stay straight no matter how hard I tried. Kept swinging widly out into the road, across to the other side and all sorts. I was thinking, man, if a car's coming behind me or the other way, I'm fucked.

Balance issues contiuned, and I soon found myself sprawled over the bonnet of a car. But it was stopped, and waiting for me, and I just fell into it! The guy was shouting at me like "what the fuck are you doing?" I could only reply "I don't know".

Sufficied to say, I didn't enjoy the experience at all. And won't be doing it again. Cycling that drunk is different to a couple of pints (which still think isn't a good idea) All the near misses are a bit much for me to take. And all the unkown injuries in the morning too...

Any way, I'm out on Friday night, and everyone has already banned me from cycling home! For my own good.

Sweet.

try a 47t on the front, makes it that little bit easier without going to far into 48:19 territory, which is too spinny for me.

cheers man, but I'm a tool. I meant 46t x 18t. Guess that means it should be piss easy already, huh?

I gotta start working out. And learn to count.

i ride 48tx18t. It's pretty good, but sometimes a little stiff for pulling away/ hills when I'm tired, or hungover (so most of the time). I'm well boney, without much leg muscle and was wondering which way I should go with the back to make it a touch easier?

Fantastic day guys. Props to those organising. Thanks all for being welcoming and cool.

However, after my performance on track, I'd like to change my forum name to no_hoper. Is that possible mods? Or do I have to create a new account? ;)

(Congrats to Hill_Billy for the win. SE represent y'all!)

that's me inducted.

See yous tomorrow.

damn it .... I just missed this. lame.

Did you guy's head down rathbone place? Might have seen you... I was guy wincing.. wishing I had peeps to ride with.
x

Well my cranks never turned up. So for that reason I am...

On the Mills :(

Shit, I need drops in that case.

What are the rules about drops?

...and can you get inducted on the day, does anyone know? Cheers.

Dear all,

Just a quick question to see if anyone has any recommended places to lock up yr bike around Liverpool St station - notorious theft hot-spot....

I've locked it with the others in front of macdonalds before, but only for a few hours, doesn't feel safe enough for prolonged night time storage!

And also, do people really steal saddles?

Thanks in advance.

11.30 it is.. See you on/around Camberwell Green

Cool if I tag along? Can't wait to exhaust my legs on Denmark Hill before even getting to the track.

Looking forward to this fun. How many need to do the induction on day? I'm one of them.

Me too.. What's the deal?

oh yeah!

coming from waterloo bridge crossing strand/aldwych up towards covent garden...where the cycle path goes over the pavement. twats on their crackberrys.

Too true. The other day, coming back the other way.. a massive peleton had formed, waiting for the little orange bike, and this guy strolls right into the middle of the lane on his mobile and just stands there. Facing the other way.
Lights change and storm cloud of un-forgiving cycles burn past him from all sides. I swear he shit himself.

Hello all.

See you out there.x

Hello,

What's the situation here.. unxperienced and probably laughable on a track... can someone drop in to view? Although, hell, I don't mind paying, saddling up and embarrassing myself. Do it every day any way!

I wasn't around for the first one, so just trying to catch up.

Best.x

what's the deal?x

went from edgware rd onto Harrow road towards Kensal Rise. Was excellent. Fast as you can over the bridges/ under the underpass.

this was at 21.00 though, NOT commute hours! x

Night riding. deserves a quiet night.

Rode back from Kensel Rise to SE5 last night. My front axel had come loose from the hub. Had a crash on walworth road.

Best ride of my life.

Sorted the bike now. Please, when's the next night gathering?

I'll be there! x
