Yep, planning to accessorise with some proper light tyres, as they won't be tubs I can fix those. Other option is to just hope that my tub-fixing-spray works.

For my track bike, I want a second set of wheels, clincher, for when I don't fancy tubbing it. Have a front wheel, system EX and Open Sport, thinking of something light and fast (bike can't carry n'owt anyway) so ... ummm ... a hub and Open Pro? Thoughts?
Rutland cycling on the 'bay are offering wheels for £45 delivered, but 1- fixed free, 2- Mach 1 Omega rim, no idea.

compared to?

No, compared with.

I plan to bash on the window and yell at the driver, making them get out. Once I come to the car, I see it is not some chavvy bloke as I expected but a middle aged indian woman. I bash on the window but then bottle it thinking it mustve just been an accident. And zip off a little confused & flustered.

Bad idea challenging a driver. If they've chosen to yell at you or drive dangerously they are "up for it" and chances are they are either less winded than you, bigger than you or wielding a F*cking car so not something you want to pick a fight over. The most I would do is take a picture of their liscence plate - though they might get out and mug you for your phone.

As for buses, they're supposed to be proffesional drivers, I'd be sure to report bus number, plate and time - be sure to CC the council.

I thought it was more of a mass than a race? Anyhow, not trying to keep up with any of the racers on this forum. I'll use the "newborn son" excuse, watch me using it more regularly as time goes on.

No matter how good the Londoners are, it won't change the fact that:
1 - I have little time for hobbies
2 - I suck at polo

Sucks. The guys at Selly Cycles go on about how if you lock your bike up too well someone will break it - just because they can't steal it. I reckon in Brum people are more likely to damage your bike than steal it.

This suddenly seems more appealing, must be the weather.

Tricky thing to organise. For me the interest is the empty streets, 10pm doesn't feel right to me, too many people leaving pubs and lots of taxis, 12pm is the right time but I see that not too many are up for it.
TBF had it been midnight I could have put the wife to bed and gone out.

Only just checked in here, so no - I'm out.

Will previous incidents of dangerous driving by TWM bus drivers be taken into account by the police?

If I could borrow a drill again (DFP?), I'll make some thicker ends, bens set didn't have the right drill bits - I can pick up.

Gizzus a shout if you need a drill.

In Stalbans so will pass. Sorz

anyone got a 36h double fixed or fixed/free rear hub they don't need? for the price of an on one hub? they are out of 36h.

I have a one-sided single speed wheel, 120-ish oln and steel rigida(?) 700c rim - if that's any good.

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Mallets - I'm up for getting one, last game I was at someone brought their own which was much nicer than the loaner type - where from?
Would OYB store "to sell" mallets so that there's a central place to get them from (as opposed to trying to organise back alley meetings to buy them).

I'm up for it, as long as I'm back in time for Shooting Stars.

As my old PE teacher used to say, skin is "impermeable".

I used to do 10-14 miles on a fizik arione, no padding needed. (Still have the saddle, but now my milage is puny)

Having only played 1 game and yet to hit a ball with both intent and accuracy (the second's the big problem) + school starting again, not sure I'm up to commiting to regular games, esp until 10pm (teacher bedtimes are very early - it rocks to be me).
Up for a match next wednesday though.

At least your signature move wasn't crashing into a player on your own side.

"playing" was definately what I did. By the time I left I felt reasonably confident that I could not crash into people if I wanted to. Now, hitting the ball on the other hand ... I'll be back after Italy, good game everyone.

... but i'm up for having a go on my rather more robust SS mtb. Maybe tomorrow if I can finish work early but if not definatly next week. Still 6.30 Calthorpe Park?

I quite fancy having a bash, can't do tomorrow but hopefully the following week. My 8 speed has come out of retirement for a cycle instructor course so I'll prolly take that.

I like that it doesn't have a formulaic joke routine, it's more a raise a smile than laugh out loud most of the time, though some bits I do find hysterical.

if she didn't ride fixed?

Sorry it took so long, turned the house upside-down re-doing the kitchen and have been on a course for the last two days. Anyhow, it's not marked as a particular brand and clamp to min insertion line is 15 cm. Bought it off the bay, can't have been much more than a 5er originally so not bothered about reddies for it. How can you collect? I'm in south b'ham and mostly free for the next two days - prolly in town tomorrow if that helps.
