Does anyone fancy doing one of these sessions again soon? Possibly with an aim to getting accredited or whatever they call it.

dibs on grips and bar endz plz!

and ste, what does 38.1 refer to?

finally finished setting up mtb hack for polo. brakes need tweaking.
Looks slacker than it really is, but yeah... it ain't perfect.

pretty edge of your seat stuff! well done asbo! Finally finished my polo bike, but not around tomorrow or wednesday, up for thursday though

i'm not gonna bother with tugs just yet as i found the problem. the axle (hollow threaded bit) was sticking out past the outside of the dropouts, so the skewer was closing against the axle ends rather than the dropouts. I spread the dropouts spacing a bit and stuck a couple of washers on the axle so the axle ends inside each dropout. appears to hold nicely now. if i do get slippage, might look to get some tugs tho.

is it this thread: http://www.lfgss.com/thread19638.html ?

from the last posts, it looks like he isn't responding anymore

Not needed anymore. Uhm try sheldon brown's website he seems a fan of fixed and QR

yeah, and other online forums suggest its possible... i'll give it another try in the morning.

Anybody have a rear quick release skewer ???

possibly, if i can't use mine to secure the wheel in a horizontal dropout (see above rant), its yours.

Or even Nesbit...?

didn't see that until today... if i hadn't just been to parrs wood and bought some junk for polo bike i would be tempted, although i think size wise its better suited to nesbit.

The rear wheels i bought today is QR freehub, and so far i've not been able to keep the wheel from slipping forwards in the dropouts (horiz). Might turn out to be a waste of money :(... anyone had success securing a rear wheel in trackends or horizontal dropouts with QR?

Also... WANTED: Pair of handlebar grips that'll be safe for polo use.

bump this saturday. see http://www.lane-end-cycles.co.uk/?p=161
i'll be there for a while perusing i guess

Hurry up you fucks

and I ride a white, yellow, blue and red rayleigh with white randoneurs and black mudguards.

Pete4eyes, i've seen you on corner of whitworth park opposite saki bar. looks like quite a few people have seen you on oxford road... guessing you're on it quite a lot so will DAS you next time I see ya.

might see you at gig tonight graeme... I'm withholding judgement on Sufjan Stevens until after tonight, heard he puts on quite a show though.

oh, and today i'm sure i saw Manc_ronnie ride past my house at 8:30 am. Then Nes ran past me outside WR post office.

i understand this as;
get out more, enjoy life!

not as;
get help, you have mental problem, go get depressed forever wallowing in self pity...

am i correct, or means something else?

people telling you to get help if you feel overwhelmed is almost exact opposite of people telling you to wallow in self pity. i get so pissed off with people seeing mental health as some taboo.
that said, a beer and some good company will prolly help.

i am well, just am going through a few rough patches at present
regarding being alone for a long period of time without seeing anyone
normal, as the last few times i had gone out with my "friends" they had
made me feel depressed an i still feel a bit upset by this, it seems to have become relentless. i could do with a bit of support i seem to have separated from everyone an got slightly lost alone in a technical here.

i am not kidding that all is actually well, am not suffering
an that having this much attention is heart warming.
trust me i am really sound as a person, just had a rough time
of sitting indoors alone, or being slightly picked on when i had gone out
by the people whom are into spitting on the floor or making fun of a guy who looks depressed.

(what wrong with people at times?) you could say i found the truth, it was sitting
alone so i joined it, so hope it now has some support, as was otherwise abandoned.
Is it just me that thinks this is quite poetic? then again, i never understood poetry...

can't afford new frame yet. is the braking surface 100% necessary, or just make braking smoother? (bearing in mind brake will mainly be for skidding about)

tbh, they'd be perfect! will have to check bank account, but could i dibs them for now?

what size are they rob?

my front wheel is pretty pringled now, 2 spokes gone and a couple or so looking bent and dodgy...
is it worth getting a few new spokes and relacing them in with the old ones that are ok, or should i just scrap it?
