Thanks for the link, I've had a quick root around and I'm worried that there could be a crack in the frame where the BB fits. Can this be repaired?

Crikey I've been getting a clicking (about 3 per revolution) coming from my newly fitted bottom bracket, chain ring, chain and rear wheel. Thing is sometimes it clicks for a while and it's really loud but then I can go of somewhere and nail the bike for a few hours and it doesn't make a sound at all. I'm confused.

I just hope that trucks and buses can't cross over into them and create huge craters. I also hope they are free from speed humps that are present on the cycle lane on Royal College Street, Camden.

True, glory holes can be a bit impersonal.

How do you get to know people?

I find a rough shag up the shitter usually helps speed the process along.

i have modified my route to avoid.

So have I, I nail it straight down to Regents Park, unfortunately that road has now become a building site with squillions of sharp little bits of gravel to puncture your tyres.

Meat and 2 veg is boring, fortunately most of English food isn't this.

Depends which way you swing. I personally prefer a ham wallet.

There's a little piece of road I find proper bad just as you pass Swiss Cottage on Finchley Road, then pass through/over the junction onto a very small stretch of Adelaide Road and back onto Finchley Road. There's chuffing cars coming at you from all angles, it's poorly lit and it feels like you're cycling over a fault line.

Another annoyance is cycling up Pentonville Road, as you're pushed further onto the curbside the buses and trucks weight have caused the road to ripple - a right proper bast*rd.

All of Kingsland Road is pretty shite as well.

Saw a crevice the size of Jordans clevage whilst peeling off the roundabout onto Walworth Road t'other day that nearly made me fill my pants.

Do these shenanigans carry on every week? I live about a 15 minute cycle from that pub and I'm about to be made redundant so they'll be plenty more beer swilling time.

This morning; Balls Pond Road then turning left onto Essex Road - Purple fixed with Gold rims.
Then going down Pentonville Road - two fixies; one green with white front 'spok and blue stussy hat and a black bike with the guy carrying a black messenger bag with something written on the back.

I don't think eye contact was at the top of our agenda's this morning :-D

Some one say hipster?

A bespectacled bloke riding a lemond with a red jacket, grey trousers, courier bag cycling up green lanes towards newington green last night at about 10:15...thanks for the slip stream - i needed it.

...then you probably will ... randomly bump into each other just about the time you're starting to feel ok again, get drunk, shag then be horribly confused for another few months, decide you're happier single, whereupon you find out she's pregnant.

c'est la vie...

Ha-ha! Brilliant.

The best is junior school teachers... those kids can't tell the difference between a hangover and "that headache that adults seem to get very often".

Haha, sounds like my girlfriend!

I love onion

Good move

Haha, it was hot and I've got a dab on now...good old minestrone.

@TheBrick(Tommy) I'll PM you, thanks.

@Diable, no she didn't, she didn't even look at me, I was cycling right accross her line of vision and she just nailed it out of the junction and luckily belted my wheel rather than my legs. Unfortunately I didn't get her plate.

Thanks for the quick replies, I'd only just left my desk for a cupasoup.

Cheers, I wasn't sure if it was something that was easily repairable by any bike shop.

Hi,

Earlier today some scrote in a golf hit my rear wheel side on at a roundabout therefore it is buckled but still rideable. It's a Mavic SUP XP30 (if that helps), where's the best place to go and get it sorted? Any idea of the cost? I live in Stoke Newington if this helps.

Any help appreciated.

Cheers.

I think your top tube's had a bit of a mishap...

My fat ass perching on it at the lights has probably been a major factor.

:-D

Ay-up,

After much skulking around I thought I'd introduce myself and my bike. Bought it recently of a bloke, if you recognise it he maybe on here too. Any how, the site is a welcome distraction from anything work releated.

Who are you and what are you doing with my name?

I say we meet at South Beers and fight to the death.

BTW - looks like i may be BACK IN!

I don't know what I am doing with your name but it is nothing to do with cheiloschisis or Joaquin Phoenix in any way.

If you look anything like your avatar I will come South and fight or even asphyxiwank to the death.

Can I come?

I don't know anyone and my bike cost ummmmm all 200 of the grimiest notes but i like beer and flange...will there be any flange?
