What's the point of fat tyres? I only use them to raise the BB, to stop me from pedal striking every other turn. Basically compensating for a less-than-adequate frame... Is there another reason to use them?

Adam, on a Dutch bike. Amazing.

Pelican and Russian Circles are awesome too while we're at it.

I'll go if I'm free.

Cheers Kev! Thanks everyone for the awesome games! I don't think my crashes were up to standard; no spinning bike, no upsidedown pedalling. I can do better.

Hope I didn't hurt anyone.

I've got your mallet Salman.

Sweet! I'll pay you in cake.

I'll try to be there early-ish. By that I mean around 4, but probably more like 6.

This... And fbo?

There are disk caliper mount on the rear, but with track dropouts. Er...

Yesterday was too. I managed to overtake some kind of a club-run hill climb near Hebden Bridge, only to be swept by an ancient man on an ancient mountain bike.

Awesome! Thanks Kev.

I think I left a mallet. Blue head, orange tape, Rik pole. Can someone playing on Wednesday keep it for me? Many thanks in advance!

Also, thanks to everyone who helped organise this. Wish I could stay for longer!

Also leaving early. Stupid life outside polo.

Please make sure you are there for registration tomorrow at 9:30, or if you are going to be late, please let us know before 10, so you can be added to Podium.

I'm gonna be late. Stupid trains.

Has anyone tried using Hammerschmidt cranks on a polo bike? Do they make a worthwhile difference on the gearing?

Cheers for letting me know, I've notified our admin. I've added to the list.

That's quick Luke! Just came here to post about this, would be nice to see you guys there.

Hey Birmingham!

We're doing a no-frills tournament on Nov 10th in Manchester! It would be nice to see you here.

Would having a goal that had telescopic poles be much more expensive? That way you could test out different sizes, see what you like best?

Or just some couplers on the crossbar and back bar. A bit more faff to change but probably cheaper?

Ha! I was wondering how long it would take for someone to notice. I've got an mp3 of the last 4 minutes, that's where the magic is.

I used a portable battery charger when touring. It's just an extra battery you charge at home then plug your phone into it when needed. It's not 100% efficient but it does work. There's plenty of brands, search for "travel battery".

But to be honest, I gave up on using my phone for GPS now, they just eat too much juice, and die when you really need them (e.g. when you need an ambulance.) I now use a Garmin thingy which saves tracks as gpx and lasts 3 days worth of good cycling.

Smartphones might replace it in a few years, not soon though.

Needs more “post-”.

^ I've had similar experience with Google Maps' cycling planner. My method these days involves plenty of Street Views to judge how pleasant the roads are. It's tedious and manual but it took me to places I would've never checked out before!

Is this the race on the 21st October by any chance? I know someone who's doing it. I don't mind making my way there, heckling a bit, and cycling back.

Why not Ghosts'n Goblins?! The knight can go for the charge!
