Hmmmmm....

Maybe a single speed will do then.........

Will see how my training gets on.

Mikec, you can rent, but I want to buy just in case I bugger it up. Are you planning on doing the London Tri? It will be my first one. The swim scares me greatly.

BDW - it's the London course, so hopefully pretty flat, but I want to save as much energy as possible, so gears make sense. (Sadly)

Wow, quick response chaps, cheers!

Guess your working year hasn't really kicked of yet...

I am tempted to get a cheap geared bike, but will the aluminium frame feel sloopy compared to my steel Reynolds on the flyer?

Thanks again!

I really hate to ask, and I'm sure there will be some backlash, but here goes.....

I am doing the London Triathlon in August and so will be needing a bike with gears. As much as I would like to buy myself a carbonfibre two grand monster, I cannot.

So, my question is......can I put gears on my Single Speed? I have a Genesis Flyer Frame with Miche Pista wheels.

Any help or a point in the right direction would be much appreciated.

I promise to change it back after..........

Unklesouth, I might be keen on that frame.

Sorry to jump in on your thread xsheepx, but....

I'm looking for a frame for my 5 2" missus as well, so if xsheepx is priced out of the market, or drops out, I may be interested.

Obviously I wouldn't enter into a bidding war, but if you're not keen xsheepx, I might be.

Slot 73 is free now chaps.

The rugby pitch calls........

Damn, only the trainers left, and they're not even my size!

Shame, as they would look pretty sweet alongside my Adicolour Kermit the Frog Stan Smiths......

Sorry chaps, didn't mean to cut anyone out.

Thanks chaps.

Gonna ride it until the wheels I have ordered come in.

Yes, it's the back wheel.

There is a "significant" wobble, and I have had it trued when I had the spoke replaced the last 2 times, but it puts the spokes under too much pressure and one goes within the week.

Expect a letter from my lawyer arvy...........

Are you saying I should have it trued or leave it be?

Is it safe to keep riding on a slightly bent wheel that has a broken spoke?

Basically I have a (currently) OTP spec Genesis Flyer with the crappy Alexrims still on it. One of the spokes keeps breaking, and is curerently broken, with the wheel a little out of shape. I am all booked in to get some new wheels made and put on next week, but can I ride it broken until then? I can't stand the bus any longer and don't want to spend a tenner on fixing it only to be rid of the wheels come next week or for the spoke to break again straight away.

I'm really only concerned about doing my frame or me damage, if the wheel is irreprable, then so be it, I won't need it soon.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Cheers

I'd be keen for a ride and beers, as soon as my bike is back on road....my rims are dead, and the new ones are currently being built......it's like waiting for Xmas, but with Xmas in 3 days!

Wibble, who do you play for, which league?

Sorry, missed the naked skier.

I'll check back tonight. A white pair would match my gaudy apparel on the slopes which in turn does not match my ability.

Cheers BRM!

Delivery? Depends where they are, I'd be happy to collect them if you're London based.

If not, I'll pay delivery.

Shotgun a pair of 11s if that's cool.

Ooooo, if you have a size 11 pair I would snap them up!

Hi All,

I ride a Genesis Flyer and am planning some upgrades. Thinking about changing to short flat handlebars and I also need some new rims as mine are getting fragile under my 17.5 stone frame (ain't nothing like a fat man going up hill).

Any suggestions for handlebar upgrades?

Hi Chaps, thought I'd introduce myself.

I ride a Genesis Flyer, and only commute, but want to ride more, so keen to join any rides going on.

Struan, because it's my name really.

Hi all by the way, new on here.

Forgot to mention I took out the r for search engine avoidance purposes
