Ha, their indoor court is next to the Carlsberg brewery. Right next door!

Count meeeeeeeee in!

If you mean think about the fact that ones that hide the ball from the opponant also hide them from me and vice versa, i would be happy for the other team to have see-through wheel gards, and me to not?

Nothing to do with the opponent seeing the ball or not, i'm after a transparent wheel cover so that I can see the ball through the wheel. Anyone know if transparent? Will PM thread starter.

I've just ordered a Pompetamine frameset deal from On-One and i'll go with the Avid brakeset that Gabes recommended, any suggestions on rear wheel hub, rim, spoke count?

Will post pics when completed.

Or you could just forget the bolt and stick 2 wood screws in at approx 45 degrees to the pole right near the top of the head where the pole enters it.

I do this too, suprisingly strong and keeps the weight down. When you tighten the screws the head gets pulled off the end if the pole so be sure to leave about 1cm of pole on the end to account for this.

Are these covers transparent? I'm really after something I can see the ball through which is why I don't use a rear cover. I'd be very interested if the case.

Ha I nearly spat my whisky over the screen when saw this :-)

its round 3 guys, get the popcorn quick!

Info to all especially Ben, Chan is doing a fine job organising this and making sure people aren't double booked. Give him a break.

I'd be a pretty hopeless manager, I wouldn't know what to do.

You beat me to it! Shuffle at 1.43. Can you shuffle in horsey? Again 2.32, shuffletastic. Mmmm molasses sandwichmmm.

So i presume the way to run the rear disc brake is to have a cable pull as opposed to hydrolic (or whatever the term is), a Rik Industries lever or similar pulling on both disc and V. It's my intention to put some sort of rotor guard on the disc.

Thanks for the reply.

I have an idea for a new polo setup that I want to explore, i've been toying with the idea of getting an Il Pompino for some time and I may still get this but I want to get over the freewheel skid problem - the wheel goes out of true and you skid out on spot on the tyre. I figured with a disc brake at the back this wouldn't be such a problem as hopefully the braking will remain smooth on a disc, i'd be putting a disc guard on too.

My first question is : How suitable is a rear disc brake for polo? I've never used disc brakes before.

Second: If it's worth using, is it possible to create some sort of dual pull setup with a V on the front? Say with an On-One Pompetamine with Identiti forks and canti bosses?

I might be over engineering a bike in my head but I really want to solve the rear wheel issue skid patch thing. Perhaps I just need some better wheels with loads of spokes built well and strong and dual pull Vs.

Help appreciated.

I'm polo hungry for London this weekend, not sure I can make 9.30am but will try.

but polo players really want is not a brand if not a good alu. we can buy nes alu7075 poles for 8euros plus postage each
yours are second hand, and we dont know of what alu are they made (in some poles is writting, in other not)

Can someone point me in the direction of a retailer for these? Bristol could do with a bulk order sometime soon.

What is the opinion of these poles? Thanks.

Keen to play.

Thanks Matt, good match there thanks.

Teenslain, identify youself. Have we met?

Majorette BV is the closest I could find according to that ^...

I tried that site but didn't get anywhere, it couldn't identify with the low-res jpeg. If I can get a good scan or copy of the logo it should find a match. Failing that Majorette BV is good enough.

Hi folks
With so many creative types in the polo scene I bet some of you could identify the font or make a close match to the font on the Franklin ball, just the 'Franklin' bit. Need to find the font or a close match for a design idea.

Cheers, Rich

London, thanks so much for helping out.

The Bournemouth team need an extra player, PM me and I will pass on the number to call.

0% chance of rain.. apparently.
