Hippy why do you always kill my threads ;(

unsafe is my middle name :P i can twist and bend my shoulders alrigt, so far my pedals are the limiting factor. i need to measure the actule width

lol yea i know cheers, ive seen some rediculously thin chopped risers about

Where can i find narrow bull/cow horn handlebars? if such things exist. preferably not wider than 1ft long so i can still weave through tight gaps.

that Arrospok banner, i hate it. Aerospokes i hate them too, so damm ugly.

I saw some ridiculosly chopped flat bars the other day that really got on my tits, they were literally the size of both of the dudes hands put together, now why the hell would you need handle bars shorter than the length of your pedals??? ok ive got chopped risers but they aint that extreeme

bit of a noob question but whats the diff between No folding and folding tyres?? pros and cons

I'm running 48:16 and finding it nice but on long straights it spins quite a bit, its not to bad going up kings cross hill. has anyone tried 48:15? I'm thinking about getting a 15t cog. I'm wondering why i haven't seen people with this ratio :S

You might get lucky here, about a month ago i sold one of my beaters for £15. ive got a beater/decent ridgeback im looking to sell for £30 but atm my mates borrowing it

provenrad I don't use them myself, but in the context that the dude-in-distress had never patched a tube before and I was trying to get him home as easily as possible I thought pre-glued would be faster and easier.

LOL Dude-in-distress, i did know how to repair a tube but i wanted to know if it was best to replace or repair the tube, i just have not done it on a 700x23 tube before, and i thought it would affect the ride.

edmundane [quote]provenrad 12. making inner tube patches

any good instructions on how to do this? i tried but never got it to work...[/quote]

Chop a circle or what ever shape you wand out of the old tube. roughen up the side of the old tube that is on the outside (Not the chalky side) and apply alot of glue, more than usual but wait till the glue is touch dry before sticking it

I finaly made i home, from old street I ended up lugging the bike to evans just off farringdon, took me about 20 mins to walk. what realy annoyed me was that i ended up paying 10 for the fix like a chump. I kinda deserve it for not being prepared but it wont happen again! i still got the old tube and im gonna fix it as my emergancy repair, or tell my girl to wear it as a thong ^^. Any way i orderd a pair or Rubino's so things should be ok when they come but ill still carry my pump and tools just in case

For the past month ive been looking for an excuse to change the stock tyres on my fuji track, and guess what, it came today. On my way to work on old street i got a puncture on my front wheel, im kinda angry because its gonna be a long 8 mile walk home or trying to cram my bike in the tube at rush hr when i finish. ahhh i dicide when the time comes, any way.. what i want to know is is it better to repare my inner tube or buy a new one? if i do repair it will i feel a hump on that point every time the wheel spins?

Max, fuji is the way to go if your on a budget, its good value for money, the only work ive did to mine so far is replaces the handle bars for some chopped risers, added a shim 105 front brake, and tapped up the graphics with some black electrical tape, the decals got to me after 2 days. what i want to change next are the stock tyres, but im still looking for an excuse to

How much does your gear ration effect the ease of stopping /skidding?? Im riding on 48/16t and although i've got a front break, im still trying to get this down, u guys got any tips or tricks or maybe im using bad technique

nice wheel set! thats a steel at that price

Hate everywhere that hasnt got new tarmac laid, damm these third world streets of london

yea they are quite cheap tacky and anoying, i say you shouldnt bother with the metal ones and just save up for the clips n shoes

Thanks for the knowledge, i think i might just change the sprocket so it doesn't strip my hub.

Guys how much of a difference do you feel using quality sprockets and chain rings vs the cheaper options (Using the same ratios), i would have thought not much seeing as they are not moving, well not in the same way as you hub or BB does. Maybe im wrong but im just asking seeing as i've only used the one's that came with my fuji

Thats good to hear, its a bit worrying at first

andrewleitch86 i get this noise too, do you think it might be the bottom bracket? has your noise died down?
