I have a certificate which says I'm only a second class geek.

I'm not a fan of phpBB as forum software but it's usually available "off the shelf" with web hosting packages. I prefer Drupal.

I'm over in the Peak Distict for the next week, back in town on the 28th but I'm not sure what I'll be doing yet.

The forum's set to require manual approval of new accounts so it depends how often "admin" checks in.

NCPolo ftw! The stars (and shift pattern) have conspired in polo's favour :-)

This forum is obviously different then. There are threads there to post yur own bike. Posting your own bike makes people think that you're full of yourself. Someone seeing your bike in another thread like 'Current projects' or similar can then post it in here. Simple no?

Finally dragged more belongings up from wales this week, so finally I can join in!

Which NCP?

Real track cranks are always 144bcd.

Real track hubs are always large flange.

Real track rims have tyres stuck on with glue.

Thems the roolz.

Dropped by on my way back from work tonight, thanks to Neil and white-peugeot-ginger-dude (sorry) for lending me their bikes for a few games. Hoping to have my car sorted this weekend so I should finally get some bikes back in my life!

More-a-side?

Ikea's stolmen storage system is pretty nifty for wall-less storage, not that cheap but pretty useful and extensible...

quite a few of them around, come as stock

What a free-thinking company... Dude's bag had a brazil flag but I guess he coukd have just been a student on a cheap bike!

Whilst in my car inconveniencing a taxi on Mauldth rd, I was passed by a rather fetching burgundy charge on green rims...

If it's a fixie, there's not much to do ;-)

Mad idea but if you're running a threadless headset you could use a longer bolt through the top cap screwing into a tall plug at the bottom. The stem would retain the headset load whilst the rest was being faffed with and a two inch tall bottom plug would probably spread the load out reasonably over the crown and the lower steerer tube.

Can draw you a picture if you like.

I can help with the technical aspects of setting up a site where multiple approved users can post front-page "news" items. I've used Drupal to create such sites in the past for uni societies.

Using drupal rather than WP means we can have the news bits, forum and calendar stuff integrated without messing with multiple chunks of software.

Hopefully someone mire creative than me can mock up a visual identity for it all...

Rat-look?

What's the skidding obsession? Anyone who can't stop reasonably quickly on a fourty inch fixed gear really needs their legs inspected.

Riding at a wall such that you have to brake puts you in no position to leave that position in possession of the ball, meaning your team is a man down at risk of having a loose pass intercepted.

Smaller gear than mine! If that's fixed you should have no need for the brake unless you habiually chase balls toward walls!

I'm moving to Chorlton this month, but being a nutter I'll be commuting past Knutsford. Not sure what this'll do to my free time but I managed to find time for Polo in Cardiff so might turn up sometime soon. If I find t'other half a gym I might be able to allocate an evening...

Used double straps on the trackbike. They're a bit meh for anything longer than a keirin.

Pins + Waffle sole = plenty of grips.

You can bunny hop a bmx without "retention". Unless you ride with locked-up ankles you get plenty of grip around enough of the stroke to slow down.

I rode this year's Clunker on my polo bike with DMR V8s, a sub 40" fixed gear and one front canti brake. I didn't fall off and I finished somewhere between 10th and 15th.

Stop arsing around and start talking about lockrings, ffs.

I rode across the barrage on the Schwinn, Oz, it's really not that bad on two full discs.

(Mwa ha ha ha etc.)

There are enthused mutterings amongst the Cardiff lot, still plenty of time left for recruitment, injuries and logistical chaos though.
