Thinking of getting a pair of [ame="http://www.amazon.co.uk/gel-hand-wraps/s/qid=1244710638/ref=sr_nr_seeall_1?ie=UTF8&rs=&keywords=gel%20hand%20wraps&rh=i%3Aaps%2Ck%3Agel%20hand%20wraps%2Ci%3Asports"]these things[/ame].

Any opinions on brands ? What I like about these things is that the wraps can be arranged to go some way down the forearm so you are prepared for blocks. As I write this my forearms look (and feel) pretty battered - couldn't find my gear and went at it au naturel. Ouch.

i use google to search lfgss. just type in what you want followed by 'site:londonfgss.com'.

much easier.

Thanks that helps. Now, how can i search solely inside 'current projects'? Pretty much 90% of the info I need from this page is in that thread alone and I am pretty frustrated that it's so hard to get trough the nearly 400 pages finding what you need.

just saw a 4 x 4, BMW I think, smashed under a tree just here a few hours ago. whoever was inside the car at the time must have been injured to some extent. but still.... had to suppress a smug little smirk as police waved me past the scene ...

trees taking their revenge - one less car.

This comment is not directed at anyone in particular.

Nor is this one.

I found this pic on FGG and I would like us to have a frank and upfront discussion folks: Is having deep V's on one wheel and not the other a bit off or does it give the bike a bit of pizzazz?

Can I have it? Seeing as nobody bothered building it up or anything.

Hey Chug It, could you explain that Glucosamine Sulphate stuff?

I cycle with my travel card in my pocket ...

I just saw a mention of Eilidh's accident on BBC News 24 about ten minutes ago. They filmed a memorial which was two wheels locked to the railings and interviewed her sister.

Kudos to her sister for her appearance on the news.

Think it'd be possible to get two wheels for it (fixed or flip-flop) which I could then transfer easily to most/all other frames later?

ah, you're the person e-mailing me on g-mail I presume?
yes, that is very possible indeed. spend a decent amount of money on wheels and move these to another frame when you have the money for it.
people on this forum can help you build wheels (just search for the thread) which will save you money. Dogsballs built mine. Very good.

And can anyone recommend good shops in London for gloves and various protective gear?
I've used some online shops for the stuff I've gotten so far, but would like to try before I buy, especially for pricey gloves for example.

a stock specialized is not porn. it's not even readers wives but a milf you snogged and titted-up while pissed in great yarmouth at a 'weekender'

now I'm only following this thread to find out what 'titted-up' means.

OK, next question: I tightened the chain nice and tight after a pretty pathetic incident where my chain came off. Now it's making a bit of noise sort of, but I guess that's OK?

However, it's seem that when rotate the chain/cog/chainwheel rather slowly I think I can see the chain vibrate a bit.
Is this something normal I've never noticed before or is it the sign of something wrong? I am wondering if it there is an issue with the sprocket. Not sure what that could be though.
Oh, and my chainline is pretty damn straight at the moment, so no issues there I'd imagine.

For random acts of kindness Texas is your man.

Today I was doing my commute home along hipster highway when my chain came off and my rear wheel sort of locked while in the middle of traffic -scaring the shit out of me. (At least I might have looked marginally cool as I involuntarily skidded sideways for a meter or two hitting the kerb.) Anyhow, the chain was now lodged firmly between the sprocket and the hub and sort of stuffed beneath where the spokes come out. I tried for ten minutes plus to yank it out again but gave up thinking I'd have to remove the lockring and sprocket to get it loose.

After just a minute or two walking down the Clerkenwell Road carrying my bike some dude on a Dolan bike stops to help me. He gets some tools out and works out that instead of my aggressive pulling you could kind of tease out the chain by moving the narrower links across the spokes or whatever it was we ended up doing. He then gave my bike a quick check and reassured me that chainwheel etc was OK. It was just my slack chain causing it. (Idiot me)

Anyhow, turns out he's on this forum under the nick Texas, so again cheers mate, I'm extremely grateful!!

Bumpity bump.

Where are the white tyres nowadays? Best I could find was the rubino pro's at Wiggle. Does the line with the text come off? Would make the whole thing a bit whiter sort of.

kool. I am interested in the Carlton if not.

out of curiosity, why are you selling here and not ebay like you normally do?

what, powdercoating over your bottle boss bolts????????

scary message, even if I can't understand what it says. "beat on" = "hit on" ?

sorry if this is a repost. I just like how thouroughly it has been done, even if it's just tarting up an OTP bike.

hmm... this might help ...

thanks CrazyJames, much appreciated.

could you recommend a brand of whey protein while we are at it? price is a concern. reason I am bothering people on this forum about it is that I somehow trust people here a bit more than on the weight lifter forums I've visited recently.

yeah, and i promise to everyone else to keep munching away at plenty of the usual healthy stuff.

oh, and how much did you weigh at the time when you had 220 - 280 g protein a day CrazyJames? just thinking in terms of relativity like.

I manage about 150g on a 'vegetarian' day.

yikes! if I could manage that we'd be getting somewhere.

I've just been trying to work this out.
ok... two pints of milk 40 grams taken care of...
half a bread perhaps? another 40 grams...
tins of chick peas? 15 g each... two of these? then we're at 110g..
then some pasta at ca. 10% protein? quite a few portions it must be.... fuck this is a lot in total....
yeah if you ever feel like PM'ing me some of your magic it'd be much appreciated,

yeah Whatfriends, time to go to bed for me too. thanks tho :)

yep, a chicken breast (3.5 oz) - 30 grams protein.

yeah, my bad.
rechecked my notes. I manage about 60 grams average a day at the mo.

to go beyond that I am curious about powders. of course for example two pints of milk and two chicken breasts every day and we be getting somewhere, but there are always those crappy food days that drags it all down again...

er, what makes anyone think I'd bother starting this thread as well as anally go trough my diet if I wasn't already lifting weights?
that said, all responses are much appreciated ;-)

I appreciate what you are both saying, fannypack and whatfriends, but how many grams of protein a day are we talking about here chaps? do you actually manage to get much over 60 grammes daily from food alone? I am struggling around that mark and that's even with a diet where I am trying to specifically max on protein --> milk, fish, fowl, rice, pasta, other sorts of diary, beans, chick peas etc etc etc

Can anyone recommend any decent value protein supplement brands? For weight gain? There are just so many brands around and it being just a load of powder it's hard to tell the difference really. And it's pricey too, so I'd hate to waste my time and money on the wrong stuff.

Oh, and my diet is all good as it is, it's just a limit to how much chick peas, tuna etc I can stuff down a day.
