Cheers for the suggestions guys, I've ordered a Dolan PC fixed with wheels that have the brake track. Was gonna go for a polo and bike CMDR also but the dolan looks better. What's the opinion on P&C bikes?

would you ride with miche pistard wheels on the road? There's a choice btwn these or a road/track version (miche x-press). I'm aware the pistard are fixed..

Ha yes -they even say it on their website!

Thanks fellas!

Hahah - silly me for even thinking it.

Couple of people have also suggested Polo and bike (CMDR), and/or also State Bicycle Co - their Contender?

I'm tempted with a Dolan or On One as these seem to be available within budget....

Guys I've never ridden a fixed gear bike and want to get one for shortish commutes. Ideally something cheapish but light (i.e aluminium) and with decent components (sub £500) and from a retailer that accepts cycle plus vouchers?

I've done a bit of reading and can see Mango bikes, BLB, 6KU all seem to offer models around the £300-£500 range.

Also one that will work as a freewheel/flipflop hub etc.

Any help/suggestions appreciated. No doubt this question has been asked before?!!?

Thanks hottaperimeter!

Must be stylish at the same time I forgot to add! Forgive me! :D

I need a gilet for a week in Tenerife in July which I'll use to descend down the volcano a few times.

Ideally, I'd like to borrow one perhaps for a deposit - but that may be asking too much - if anyone has one going spare I'd buy it, but I don't want to spend a lot as it's not a piece of kit I don't think I'll really ever use, even in winter - I've got base layers and a jacket that's good enough...

Welcome any suggestions...

Thanks

Joe

ShutUpLegs, if you send them back to me I can refund you.

James

If you refund me first, I will send them back. Just like how I paid you first before you sent them out. Send me the payment and your address details please. A bit of courtesy goes a long way.

Thanks

Hi Joe, yes it's been a mistake on my behalf. I purchased a bundle of parts and in all honestly didn't check they were all the same.

Completely my fault but i'd rather you of PM'd me first. Let me know how you want to sort this.

James

James1234 please sort this out.

I'd like a refund for the inners you've mistakenly sent me, all 6 of them that you didn't check before you packed them that all look completely different. Please confirm you're going to send the refund plus cost of postage pack to you for these inners which I don't want..

Thanks

Here's the garmin route if anyone wants it. I've been having problems getting it into my device... :$

Agree with this.

You'll definitely know if you've got a crap bike fit after sitting on it for 8 hours.

It will also become incredibly apparant either how good or how poor your clothing is you're wearing. In my case, the Steam Ride Audax - I was wearing a pair of Rapha Pro Bib shorts (RRP £150) - which turned out to be the WORST pair of bib shorts I've ever worn. Incredibly tight around the thighs to the point I was almost about to cut them. Promptly god rid of them after this.

Also, vibrations and the tape on your bike and the gloves you're wearing will all play a part - a really chatty bike and you'll start to regret it with another 2 hours to go, and having crap bar tape or no padding on your gloves - your hands start to get quite sore - especially if it's really hot weather..

James - please respond.

Thanks

Thanks James,

Well I wanted continental inners and these aren't them so I'll happily send them back to once you refund me the total plus the cost of postage.

Hope that's ok?

Thanks

Joe

James - you specifically said:

6x brand new 700x20-25c 42mm Continental tubes

What I got from you instead was

3 700x19-23c 42mm INNOVA tubes

&

1 CST Made in China 19/23 3.5cm inner tube
1 Cheng Shin Tube 25/32c 2.5cm inner tube
1 Bontrager 18/25 2.5cm inner tube

What's going on? Is this some sort of mistake? I'll give you the benefit of the doubt first to reply.

As it stands, I don't want any of these thank you very much, I'd like my money back.

Thanks

Joe

What power meter do you use Hippy - Stages?

I'm debating about getting one... That I can use on both bikes when I need to..

How useful do you find them?
