If I dont missunderstand, me and josh is up for a team, anyone else in?

Awesome.

I would encourage anyone interested in this to go to some of the other sessions as well. The league starts soon so try to play as much polo as you can if you're serious about it. They're all very welcoming and you'll learn some good stuff, but practice, practice and a bit more practice.
Solo polo is also a good idea as it team training.

any friday/weekend polo anywhere?

I'd be in, I'm not very good thou.. yet.

anyone else that's wet?

well, see you there, 19.00 yesh?

any polo this tuesday? been in sweden for awhile..

I locked my bike to a short bollard using a cable lock once. It was very easy to lift over the bollard but I was sitting RIGHT BESIDE it the whole time it was there. A drug addict saw it and went crazy!! he started shouting obscenities about the fking wker that locked their bike like that. He blamed the country's financial decline on people who would leave their bike in such an un-secure manner. He made quite a scene, many people stopped to listen to his rant. Not knowing it was mine he looked for my support in his hatred of me, (I was forced to agree with him). Needless to say I waited till he and everybody watching had gone until i sheepishly retrieved my bike. I never did it again.

hmn, left my bike unlocked once outside a supermarket and sat down about 5 meters from it. was it 2 minutes until 3 (GANGSTA) boys (with winterwests and fake chains) came around the corner talking loudly and then suddenly changing topic nodding each other and pointing at the bike as they went past... one of them coudlnt help himself to get out of the supermarket one last time to have a second look..

Funny they didnt notice me sittin there watching it all... waitrose in towerhill btw.

Dunno where to post this.....

"Why not buy 2 and save postage?
Opportunist thieves NEVER pick on bikes with 2 locks to remove!"

Lol. He means he is from cardiff (in wales)

Throw in from Cardiff looking for a game on Friday, anyone playing?

I get 8 results in london for cardiff on google maps. link? Can't promise but I'll try!

also can one use bmx crankset/chainring? i figured it shouldnt be a problem, spec as the chain is a bmx chain?

hmn.. lfgss+html

Yep, makes sense. Cheers!

Not sure I'm using the right word, but I got a cone on the inside of the driveside crankarm (made for 2 chainrings (52&42)).

Does it have any use (running fixie with only the 42t chainring) exept it prevents me from using chainguard? I though I might just file it down.

So.... What is it and can safely I remove it?

Nice one Glenn, I missed that. Sorry worldofpain.
There will be a loaner bike built soon, there are just a few problems. But apart from that, you can borrow my bike and I'm sure others will let you have a go on theirs. Maybe not Citygents though, it's a deathtrap ;)
And there are plenty of mallets available.

We do or at least did play in the rain yesterday. Most players are dedicated and will play in all conditions. But fingers crossed for better weather next week!

Well done to all those who sticked it out, was a good laugh yesterday.

I might have to eat my words. Sadly I wont be able to attend for 2-3 weeks from now, but I be with yous again as soon as possible!

Whenever I'm there thou, anyone can feel free to my ride when I'm not playing:)

i'm a complete beginner, never played, but interested in coming and becoming a regular.
will there be a bike and mallet i can borrow?
i'll bring some cider ;)

Tuesdays 7PM, if you're in and im not you can prob borrow my 63cm ride

No rain in the South. Be there in 20.

general weather policy: if its shit, no polo?

will try to make it tonight, see you there:D

mhmm, they do tt with fixedgear?

I'll try to make it to tuesday polo at quorn road :D Never played, watched or seen polo.

music was a great plus

meh, I guess not then.

sell the springergys to a hipster and buy some proper wheels

Whats wrong with them?

My post was a bit hasty, since I saw some clinchers yesterday. Was actaully thinking of keeping them until I have the time and money (and energy to get up in the morning uuuuuuuueh) to try some track.
Though they where quite low weight, specialy since im on a thight budget?

want to sell one to me?

No.

sell the springergys to a hipster and buy some proper wheels

im not a hipster

Even more no then?

Reason im asking is that I saw someone with a 650c rev-x frontwheel with clincher tyre yesterday, suppose they made the wheels as clincher type too then.. unless one can change the rim (doubt it)

Tubless and tubular are not the same thing, I suspect you mean tubular ?

probubly
