I've used one since the start of 2010 with no problems.

I don't "trick" though.

My Samson track frame flexes like a bitch. Go worried the first time it happened, used to it now.

Nevermind.

All sorted.

Also, I've asked the same question in thsi thread: http://www.lfgss.com/post2783543-28.html

Hopefully someone knows.

Nope. These:

They are bolted on under the cleat and go on either side of the cleat so you can walk in them. Kind of making road shoes in to MTB shoes. From what I understand.

I just want to know if they can work with Time ATAC cleats.

Bump!

I have some Sidi road shoes with the same hole pattern as these:

Can I a) run the Shimano pontoon's on these and b) run Time ATAC cleats?

I can't afford / not allowed to buy new Sidi MTB shoes.

I have some Sidi road shoes that look pretty much like Dominators. They can fit SPD / ATAC style cleats and Look-style cleats, but they're road shoes, not MTB shoes so they have pretty much no traction. I'm currently using Look Delta pedals and cleats on my road bike, but I want to swap to Time ATAC on my road bike and one of my street tarck bikes.

Does anyone know if the Shiman pontoons work on Sidi shoes? I don't want to buy a new pair of shoes, and I'd like to have some clipless shoes I can actually walk in. Also, do the "pontoons" work with Time ATAC's?

I DAFSFFS on "pontoons" (I know I saw a thread on here about them), but couldn't find anything.

Can trackstand like a boss on all my bikes (geared and fixed) like a boss.

Boss.

Has anyone heard of Albini (no, not Steve of Big Black / Rapeman / Shellac / Electrical Audio fame)?

I picked up a road frame off Italian ebay for my wife. Got it delivered today (only 5 days to Australia! Amazing). Columbus fork ends and drop outs, I'm assuming Columbus tubing, amazing paint (pearl white with three colour fade). All it has is ALBINI on the downtube and an A on the head tube. I made her buy it because I'm a fan of the bands Steve Albini has been in / is in and she wanted a vintage steel road frame and this was her size.

Googling Albini is pretty hard, all I came across is this: http://bikeraceinfo.com/giro/giro1913.html and the name Pierini Albini, which leads to this... http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pierino_Albini

Any other details?

Built the Ciombola frankenrat from 'graveyard' parts from work. The only new parts are the 16 spokes in the front wheel, The rest was going to be scrapped. The ksyrium on the back has a microscopic crack in the rim, but it's fine for hacking down to the shops.

The bars are great for bunny hopping! It has a 5 speed cassette (the smallest 5 sprockets from a 10 speed), and the long cable is for bar spins.

Nice to see a Ciombola in London (I'm assuming).

Ciombola were all built by Wayne Roberts, father of Luke (ex CSC, currently on the pro market and rising for UniSA team in the TDU) who stopped building frames about three years ago.

Ciombola were nearly all sold through Trak Cycles AFAIK, certainly later in the marquee's life, as a sort of 'in house' upper end brand.
Wayne was last heard of welding and building caravans somewhere in the Adelaide Hills.

Sylvan Track are one sided, GR-9's have a pretty nice platform, even when you ride on the back / wrong side of them. MKS Stream are double sided but will eat your shoes.

^^^^^ wtf is that saddle about?

Selle Italia Turbomatic 2. Good saddle.

Anyone have a model number or info on these rims? I know they're Rigida track rims, but that's it. Low-profile, no braking surface.

why are they always putting their bikes together before going riding? Bad preparation in my eyes.

By the look of the tyre, he replaced that?

As for the rear brake, I think that bike gets run as a SS sometimes.

Ha! I just posted that Raleigh in the beater thread.

From here.

I've been called out before on a chain that appeared slack to me and apparently wasn't, although I wasn't informed why.
But that attitude of yours can fuck off regardless of whether your 15 or 80, knowledgable in all things bike, or not.
This is porn, not a group treatise on the mechanical differences of slack/tight chains. It looks less aesthetically pleasing, tighten the fucking chain.

P.s. if that is your bike in your profile pic, with risers and spokk to boot, you can definitely just GTFO you stupid fixie kid

Ha! I forgot about that picture.

Anyway, I'll keep my mouth shut now. One last thing, tightening a chain because it looks better in a photo is just plain dumb.

My post was directed at JordanCarroll.

Too many kids (and I've noticed it a lot on this forum in particular) call out "slack chain" when the bike, in fact, has correct chain tension.

Just why don't people take the time to tighten!

Because unless you are some stupid fixie kid, you'd know that having a tight chain is slow and wears out parts quicker.

Loose chain = fast chain, particularly on a proper track bike.

Nah, stick it on fixed.org.au...

I was actually really fucking bored at work today and was trolling.

That's what the kids call it, right?
