hello hello. couldnt totes identify the correct thread for this question but...

does anyone know where i might be able to get hammered fenders for less than the 90 quid velo orange seem to be on ebay after postage??

who knows whether i can fit an alfine 8 hub to an all city nature boy frame? someone somewhere on the interwebs said you can put an alfine on any frame suitable for single-speed but that sounds like tosh. it has horizontal dropouts.

cheers if you can help bike-clevers!

cant find how to buy this heavy-duty stuff and have been keeping my eyes peeled at roadworks for weeks to no avail...

does anybody have any tips? or better still some scraps i can have?

am new to polo, just want to try it out and try making some mallets.

thanks!

so i was fixing a front wheel hub that had lost its bearings and noticed that the thread of the axle had worn down smooth in two points roughly where the cups sit. cleaned, greased, added bearings, tightened it all up and it runs ok but seems like it might still be a bit wobbly.

is the worn axle thread a problem that will keep making it come loose and was probs the cause in the first place??

cheers!

anyone know if theres a big/regular london jumble like this?

cheeeeers

are there any nights you lot dont play at downham? want to get my recently-formed girl bike gang into polo but will need a quiet place to fail in for a while..

thanks for the advices. i discovered my dropouts have some horizontal lee-way so i will sack of the tensioner and just get a spacer kit with a 14 tooth ring. done and done

You don't need to be good at maths to use the gear calculator.... the whole point is it calculates it for you! :)

ah but my maths is so bad i dont even understand the concept of a calculator. or numbers

i've read all of sheldon brown but my maths is terrible. should i use my 50 or 36 tooth chainring for a single-speed conversion with a 16 tooth sprocket? i know around 42 is ideal but i cant afford a new chainring.

i'm not super fit so i'm drawn to the 36 but i also hate frustratingly low gear, obvs.

thoughts anyone?
