Cant seem to find em, got a link?

Hey mate, old post but do you still have these?

Yeah I had a seat on it and I can get it back on. I’m at wits end now though and would rather pay someone else to help me out to save my insanity. If no one can though then GT85 overnight it is. Cheers bud.

So the donut I am I have just bought a second hand steel bike without checking if the seat post was seized into the frame and I’ve just got home to tinker with the bike only to find it is seized. I should’ve checked I know ! But I didn’t and now I’m having to pay for it.

The frame is steel and I believe the post is aluminium. I have tried some big grips around the post and wd40 with no luck.

Anyone here any good at removing seized posts ? If not anyone know of any bike shops good at removing them ? The local one hasn’t got the tools they say to remove it.

I’ll pay anyone who can do it for me of course ! Beers and moneys!

Any help would be appreciated.

Cheers !

Yeah thought about building one up but don’t trust myself haha ! Going to keep my hopes up that one crops up. Hope your wife enjoys the build when it’s done !

Really after Surly Ogre or Surly Bridge Club in Medium or Large size as I am inbetween the sizes.

Let me know if you have one or know a friend who has one they might wanna get rid of !

Tried getting one on the cycle to work scheme however cant seem to find anyone with one in stock anywhere in London, nightmare !

Thanks a bunch!

EDIT: Also interested in the ECR but I think this may be a quite a bit out of my price range. Always open to find out however :)

I will take in south next week if still going, awaiting payday friday. Can take lunchtime friday if not monday!

Alright then so ill just spin my wheel round 180 and put It back on if that's what your all saying !! Hope I've understood right otherwise my wheels gunna be fooked I guess!

Thanks guys !

Exactly what he said - each pedal stroke forwards technically undoes the sprocket, but every time you slow down you're tightening it again. There's actually an argument that it's more safe LHD as the pressure you put on when stopping is greater than accelerating (unless you're superman!) Whittle ran several bikes brakeless with LHD and had no issues.

So do you reckon I'll be fine just flipping the wheel over then ? Like just taking it off and flipping it. Ima kinda useless with hubs and how they work , sorry if I sound like a idiot or I don't make any sense !

I got told I could just flip the wheel over and it will work? Will it ?
Because I don't really want to spend anymore money yet

Hey guys , just bought a bombtrack dash and seeing as I will be running pegs with it I want to have it as left hand drive not right hand which it comes as. So can I just flip the back wheel round or won't that work because it might start undoing the cog or something ? I don't really know much about hubs and stuff so any help will be great !
Cheers!

Ahh sick man, Ill be picking that up then by the end of the month ! Is it possible to have it LHD or not ?

Definitely the dash. Really solid components and good frame

How are the wheels like on the dash though? Any idea?

I'm just going to be buying one of these two bikes as my starting base which I will then build onto and change around parts when I have enough to replace them by the way.

Anyone be able to help me decide between a Specialized P.fix 2013 and the Bombtrack Dash ? I've been saving up for quite some time now and I just can't decide which one to pick ! If anyone can give me some helpful information that will be great.
