i doubt its £800 for frame only...

Hi, after an accident two months ago i'm finally good to get back on the bike but short a front wheel. So i'm looking for someone who can build me a set of wheels (decided to get a new set since i've got a hubset lying around), and possibly help source some rims and spokes. Was just wondering if you guys had any recommendations in terms of shops or others. thanks!

that's nasty, hope everythings alright. i hada similar thing happening where a guy walks out in front of me without checking the lights ( i had green), knocked me off onto 7 sisters rd, luckily no cars behind me. sprained hand and fucked front wheel, still waiting for a new one and for my hand to heal... pedestrians...

thanks alot! it's a 32h, thanks for saving my butt from getting wrong length spokes and having to go back and look like a pillock asking for other ones...

that would be brilliant, it's a cxp 33 rim, 599 dia, 14 mm deep (according to dt),
Miche track hub,59mm pitch circle dia, 45mm flange distance,
does that help?

Hi, i realise this is probably going to make me sound like a completely trout but i am trying to figure out the spoke lengths for a wheel im getting built using the DT calculator but i am stuck at the field that say "number of intersections". now i'm planning 3 cross on a 32h rim, but have absolutely no experience with wheelbuilding so not sure how many intersections that involves... any help much appreciated..

yep, can't say i'd recommend 48/16 for skidding, along with wearing tyres like a madman it's quite hard work...

saw loads of fixed wheel bikes today, normally there's none on my daily stretch... saw a guy on a blue (fort?) bike w blue deep rims (don't think they were deep v's but not sure) on stamford hill. A girl at the big junction halfway down amhurst road, think she had orange hair or something, don't remembr exactly it was semi-early...
Then again a guy on a old battered looking red bike at the bottom of cambridge heath rd turning onto whitechapel road heading towards whitechapel... anyone?|

i hear the faint rumble of guns being rolled into position

3rdworldsuitcase least he's wearing a helmet.

thats what i thought...

realist!

or set some cars on fire.

tommid When I was 22 my gran sent me a balaclava (not sure that is spelt right)... She said it was for my paper round (I stopped doing a paper round at 15!).. It wasnt just any ordinary balaclava though it was a full on three hole IRA/80's terrorist style one... Oh and my Birthdays in May so not a massive ammount of use for it at that time of year...

end of terror season is it?

thanks, i'll do just that

Hello, i'm in the process of sourcing parts for a new rear wheel. I'm not entirely familiar with the do's and don'ts of wheelbuilding so there is a detail or two i am unsure about... Here's the plan: CXP33 on Miche primato HF hub - what spoke length does the fountain of wisdom that is the londonfgss community reckon i need?
thanks!

in what fantasy world would you get THAT for 100 quid?!

the only argument against wearing a helmet is looks and if you feel thats a good enough reason to run the risk its your choice. i like my head.

thanks, yes 1/8th ca 3/32nds was what was meant. sounds good, so i guess it could be possible...

@skullhead: http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Models.aspx?ModelID=11288 thats the one, its a beaut and strong as hell...

anyways thanks for the response.

Just wondering, as i've found the loveliest chain but if it means i have to purchase new sprocket+ring to use it i'm gonna pass... anyone know? fanks.

bolt on holiday, doesn't sound very relaxing...

too late damn...

the one that is most frequent.

uuuugly forks

clefty After getting caught in the rain this lunctime, i managed to snap my key off in my fairly new abus granit 1000cm lock this evening and have had to leave my beautiful bike locked up in my work car park which is rather dodgy.

I searched and noticed a thread about broken keys in d-locks, but thought i would ask anyway. Am I going to need to hire an angle grinder to get this bastard off?

next stop Abus site about warranty!

Cheers All..

you have a 10 meter lock? fuck me that must be heavy!

ye denmark is nowhere as hardboiled a cycling place as london, especially after recent crackdowns on rogue cyclists, so if you're cycling around it would be wise to obey the lights etc.
