Looks like you could slide a Rizla paper in there, not much more.

is there any reason that the above bike hasn't been returned for a refund? that is a joke. ripped off.

Is a front disc even legal?

yes! or wiggo can wave good bye to all his gold medals.

internal routing fix:

winter evolution of my pompino.
much discussion with people who have been riding here for years had lead me to decide against costly spiked tyres. "on the 4 days a year you might need them, just take the subway".
added. more brakes, conti cross tyres, a freewheel - not sure how fixed in snow and ice would go.

also by coincidence made the bike perfect for some off road adventures...

Like I said, bloody nice bike.

A black pair of cxp33s laced 32 3x (still overbuilt TBH) would have saved you 100s of grams of rotational weight, and (unless you do a lot of trials style fixie riding) would be equally bombproof.

Thats^ just porn thread nit picking though. In reality I'm just jello.

still got a terrible bar/brakes set up though. hoods + track bars. 'orrible.

my new touring wheels:

hope (or maybe ambrosio depending on budget constraints) x pillar triple butted spokes x rigida grizzly rims.

bomb proof.

a) feeding is forbidden unless the temperature is above a certain level

i could be wrong, but "feeding" is not illegal, just having a bottle passed to you from the side is. if you want to have a bottle, or pockets stuffed with food, you can.

it'll be winter marathon as i have staff discount in out shop on those...and i think ill go with the two of them!

2it is then! thanks! (they are expensive) eh?!

question (not about fat bikes). winterizing my pompy...

location: Toronto.
current conditions: rain/occasional cold day.
approaching: maybe a winter? sometime?

if you had one studded tyre and one cyclocross tyre, what way round would you put them? studs on the back?

Looks like a Pedal Force CG1

this one looks lovely...maybe i buy a new frame soon:

i dont understand the bit about front axel in the correct position when on the hoods? can someone explain this to me? please. ta.

.

ha! thanks for that. enjoy the bikes with trainers for wheels.

i was going to ask the same thing.
looks like north america, there is a running room just round the corner from me (Toronto), infact i went running with them this very morning.

good to see an old ribble overseas. wish i hadn't sold mine.

I've really enjoyed reading this thread. please fatoldbloke, STOP. you are ruining it for me and everyone else. i have to scroll through all your shit to get to the good stuff. thanks.

Then do the Iditarod Trail as well.

(yes it's not in Canada, but still).

you realize that if your travel north to south on the iditarod you finish in Anchorage, a distance of over 3000km from banff. hardly a continuous extension of the divide...

trouble is that bicycle up there is not a specialized.

good shout, i was going to try and put some on mine with 35mm marathons. in the end I've got a $15 clip on rear one that offers very little protection to anywhere but my butt.

Yeah, not anti, but certainly nothing that gets me excited:

what is this bike for?
brakeless, fixed gear, off road cyclocross.
thats a pretty niche market right there.

on second look, they are not cross tyres. ill take it back. looks shit mind.
confusing.

i can't imagine a single situation where touring with gps would be an advantage. you put it very well there 'scoble.

and as for speed/distance giving gps an advantage, i just rode toronto to ottawa in two days, no issue.

if i had the option i would be on gps for day road bike rides, and always paper maps for touring.

I'm sure I've seen it before, but can anyone tell me what the bike it in this photograph? thanks.

you will get a better deal, lighter, stronger through buying hand built. compare prices with others. tom is a friend of mine, but i can vouch for them, i have a set of cx wheels from him, very strong and light indeed. he builds very good wheels.
