Cheers for the input guys but to be honest. I've had a MRI and it spotted the problems.

Basically my knees can't handle the strain :( hence tendinitis and the patellar chondromalacia a mixture of bio-mechanics and muscular imbalance.

I was told rest, Physio and that insoles may help which I am waiting for an appointment for. They are gonna cost more than my Melec. My physio told me he can only go so far and unless the biomechanics are sorted with insoles.The consultant was made aware of these issues but didn't really seems to give a shit (general attitude) but maybe the insoles will do the trick.

I do ride with a brake, I'm using pedals and straps. Could maybe switch to clipless SPD SL but I'd like to use my bike for getting about town, but not at the price of my knees.

A bike fitting could help, I'm in Belfast but have been exhausting all the other possibilities. Anyone know of anyone good in Belfast? There is a few floating around from the shops that do the electronic fitting.

then there is This guy

I used the search and could find nothing. I want to hear from people who have had to stop riding Fixed Gear for one reason or another.

It looks like me and Fixed gear is over. Finally got my melec build up, been doing my daily commute of 4 miles with it yesterday and my knees have ballooned up with fluid and a general burning. I could feel it last night I did use some ibuprofen cream to take the edge off. I'm riding a fairly slack gear 48/19

I do have some knee problems Chondromalacia and Patellar tendinitisTendinitis. Have been doing the foam roller work along with stretching and some strengthening exercises. To no avail :(

I've order a wheel build of a s2c to get some enjoyment out of the frame, as I don't see myself being able to ride fixed gear again. Gutted.

I'd be interested if anyone has any similar experiences

Clams though? What's that?

yup, I'd say foam roller and clams should sort you out

Greased?

Yup thou my post is fairly long.

I got it in to 1.5inches before the FSA graphic. Can move side to side okish but no matter how much force I use to pull it up no shifting it. Any advice?

Anyone have any issues with the seatpost? Put mine in yesterday and no shifting it today :S 31.6mm

Does anyone know of a clamp on brake that does fit a Cinelli Vigorelli fork? Or am I better off buying some cheap forks that I am happy drilling a hole in?

You realise your forks are drilled and plugged?

you will never be this gritty

Order a new wheels set after installing rim take and last bit of the tyre I noticed this

Dog shit camera phone but you get the idea. Seems that this would give way after the first pot hole.

I'd like a knowledgable opinion.

If it's fubard, whats the easiest way to remove a rim tape loop from the wheel without fucking it.

Cheers

^^ Sounds good.
How would people pay the £1 per vote? Honesty after voting?

people by votes, saves on the fuck around of rounding up money

shall we doing a voting system, vote costs like a quid people can only vote for each tee shirt design once. You can vote for multiple shirts. Money raised puts up a lump sum to help get the tees to print

tl dr:
1quid votes for tee
money helps get tees printed
