No idea if there is staff provision for bikes but there is a decent covered bike rack at the uni gym (Stevenson building).

One long sleeve, one short sleeve. Never worn, bought a few years ago and put away and forgotten about. Short sleeve is a probably good for summer as it is a thinner material, long sleeve is a fairly thick material with a soft fleecy inner so good for cooler days. both have 3 rear pockets with the long sleeve having a zip on the middle pocket.

Looking for £8 for short sleeve and £10 for the long sleeve or both for £15.

Both size small, I am 5'4" with a 32" waist so you can judge the fit/size from the pics. I am in the West End so if anyone wants to try on for size we can arrange that.

I have a spare ticket for the Offspring and Bad Religion on Monday 20th June due to my GF being away so thought i would offer it on here first. Event is sold out.

Looking for £32.50 face value only ( I won't even charge you the booking fee :) ).

Anyone interested just message me through here.

Stick a couple of 1mm spacers on and you should be OK. I've run my Flyer like this for 2 years with no problems.
You can see a picture here.

I used the spacers from velosolo as posted above.

from the SJS site

A high quality Large Flange pair of track hubs, front OLN is 100mm, rear OLN is 120mm but will respace down to 110mm or up to 130mm with the addition or removal of washers. Rear Axle is 10mm in diameter, Front is 9mm, and hollow for lightness. Overall length of the axle is 165mm. The hub can be spaced to 130mm without swapping the axle.
Very good value for money compared to other hubs.Supplied with 2 lockrings.
Replacement bearings. - These are the same bearing for both front and rear. Our part no. is 17093.

So yeah front bearings are usable in the rear.

Any decent car valet company should have stuff to remove tar spots. I used it when I worked in one and it is good stuff, a little bit on a cloth and some elbow grease = tar gone.

Cool, where do I sign up?? Can't see a register/new member section or am I blind!!

Nope no relation, I just happened to stumble on the site last week and remembered it when I read this thread!!

Sticker Monkey

I was worried about getting the flyer after reading the posts on here about the chainline but just got a surly cog and a 2mm spacer and all is good (photos on flikr http://www.flickr.com/photos/phunkymunky/1336818041/ ). I got a 1/8th fixed cog supplied with the bike but obviously it doesn't fit with the 3/32 chain. I got my LBS to chase this up up with Genesis/Ridgeback/Madison whoever it was and the reply was as so :

The flyer is NOT sold as a fixed wheel it is sold as a single speed bike, the fixed cog supplied with the bike actually comes from the manufacturer of the rear hub and is supplied with the hub (as a package) so Genesis have no input on this.

I rode it as a single speed for 2 weeks to get used to it then put the Surly cog on and haven't looked back. Went out on my geared hybrid a couple of weeks ago and found it really hard to coast so looks like i'm staying fixed. ( and I just learnt to skid yesterday on the way home so I will probably be wearing out some tire soon!! )

ps There isn't enough room to put the chainring on the other side of the spider, the chainring is only about 2 - 3mm from the frame in the outside position.

hippy [quote]phunkymunky Just a little info as far as i know....
The courier pays the custom charges on the customers behalf and then invoices the customer for reinbursement plus their admin fees etc.
A year or so ago a friend ordered stuff from the USA, just a few clothes, and got stung by whatever courier was used for customs charges and the courier handling charge/fees etc. She wrote back to the courier saying she never wanted them to pay to pay her charges and she would have paid the customs charge directly if given the chance so she said she wouldn't pay their handling/admin fees and sent a cheque for the customs charge only, she never heard back from the courier. Could save you some cash

But, if you order something and the courier pays the duty, you are then forced to turn up to their depot and pay the charges. They wont deliver the item without you first paying duty and their charges. It's fscking bollox!!![/quote]

It was several (4 or 5) years ago but as far as I remember the parcel was delivered as normal ie by the postie then a couple of days later an invoice turned up charging for the customs/delivery so she got round it that way. With the explosion of ebay and internet commerce I'm pretty sure you wouldn't have the opportunity these days so it probably is "fscking bollocks!!!"
