I've e-mailed you re: the pedals

Cheers

Err.. I'm a bit late but did you get sorted for this? I've just bought a brand new 26.0 seatpost, and a 53/73 mm nut fitting front brake caliper, and neither one fits. bah.

If you leave a job before the ride-to-work bike is paid off, the amount that you haven't paid off is deducted from your final salary payment, the kicker being that whilst normal payments are deducted form your gross wage and so save a large pile on tax and NI, a final salary deduction is taken from your net wage, after tax and NI, which is a bit like a kick in the balls, if your balls are directly linked to your bank account.

Hiya

I decided to take the plunge and build something myself, so have purchased a frame and am going to attempt to build it up.

Looking for some 27" wheels to go on a seventies Raleigh frame. After a fixed hub, but apart from that, not fussy.

she's a witch. burn her.

ah. Not so keen at the moment. I reckon I'll hang on for a bit and see if anything fix free pops up, and if there's no joy after a bit I'll get in touch. Cheers!

Hiya

Could still work - is it possible/hard to swap the hubs out if I wanted a flip flop, or would I need to replace the rear wheel?

ello.

So, I was gonna convert my road bike after some prick nicked both wheels, but it's got vertical dropouts and from what I can gather that isn't going to have it. Don't really want to start building something from scratch, and I'm waaaay to skint to buy something from actual shops, so if anyone's looking to get rid of a nice serviceable bike, give me a shout.

Ideally it'd have a fixed/free hub cause I have precisely no experience of fixed riding and the option of slacking off every now and then would be lovely.

Cheers

NIels - RE: the Kryptonite cable:

I had a nice sturdy D-lock for frame and one wheel, and the cable for the other wheel. I went and left my bike with D-lock through just the frame and the cable through both wheels. Cable got snipped clean through and both wheels gone. Probably not worth buying the cable unless it's literally for five minute stops.

Shane Warne's advanced hair therapy anti-baldness ad is priceless. I still can't believe it's not a spoof.

IMHO he should try some advanced weight loss therapy.

Hi all,

Just a quick hello. I'm Tim. I don't so much ride a single-speed bike as a no speed bike, as I returned to my bike today to find it missing both it's wheels, and therefor all those gear things that attach to the back wheel. Rather than getting annoyed, I'm taking this as a sign from above - having been toying with the idea of converting it to a fixie for a while now. It's almost like those thieving bastards were helping me out. Almost...

So the project begins. However...I know almost nothing about this. might be asking for a few pointers.

Cheers
