I 'might' have found someone. 🤞
But thank you!

I've got an absolute fucking emergency here. I need to get a Rohloff to 50mm carbon rim built up tomorrow. Is there ANYONE on here who has various spoke lengths and can do it. I'm in East London, Hackney.
SBC, BLB, and Paradise all appear to be closed tomorrow. I have loads of shifts I can't afford to miss and my current wheel split open today. 🙁

I literally have no fucking clue what I'm meant to do on there 🤷

Feel free, for I know not what I do. 😁

I'll look into it tonight. X

Can we at least have a Bright Times Whatsapp group so I don't feel entirely cutoff from everything I'm into?

Having been a member of LFGSS under some guise or another since there were less than 150 members, I can honestly say this place changed my life.
The forum and its members, especially in those early days got me through one of the worst periods of my life and helped to give me purpose when I felt I had none.
Over the years it also helped me to see and understand through the way I interacted on here parts of myself that I really didn't like. Unfortunately this resulted in me ruining friendships, and at times taking my self hatred to very dark places, but this was through no fault of the forum or its members.
Having taken a step back from the 'front line' of the forum, and a step back from the social side, I still often remember so fondly the good memories and good people this place helped to bring into my life. The rides, the drinks, and the parties, are some of my happiest memories.
Knowing that LFGSS is always there if and when I need to take a break from myself has been a safety net that is much needed.
I feel genuinely sad to read that it might have to end, but will hold onto the memories even tighter.
Velocio...you did something incredible here. You changed lives.
Love always, Scottnotscot/Archiesgrobags/Black_Rainbow_Project

For anyone who hasn't seen it yet, I strongly urge you to watch this.
Like the film Klunkerz before it it documents one of the most important points in cycling history and is a great reminder of a time when fun was all that mattered. ❤️

I would have had a set ages ago, but they wouldn't do a spider that fit my Gates ring. 🙄

So is it a 30mm specific shell that won't work? You can't use a standard BB shell and then external cups to take the 30mm spindle?

I guess a pair of raw cybercranks would be a nice alternative? 🤔

I'm giving Conclave 6 out of 10. Looks great, sounds great, some really good acting, but I feel like the revelations in the story really didn't have the impact they're probably supposed to.

Nae bother!

I missed the bit about the Park bike. I had one of those too, but I was meaning I had a 'Big Air' full suss bmx. 😁

I had one. Even put it up for sale on here. 😁

Did anyone else get the new Ezra collective? `Layover'. Mine arrived today. I don't know if it's just my system, but the bass is fucking heavy!
It was recorded live to vinyl.

No worries. I could knock a bit off if he's interested.

Yeah. I knew that too, but in my haste I didn't notice I was buying a v2 😂

Well it was going to be for my DJ setup rather than my production, but like a fucking idiot I didn't realise I'd bought a v2 🙄
So now I've had to get a v3 and need to sell this one.
I need the stereo connection from the v3.
If it doesn't sell I'll keep it for the studio side for the mono synths but I could really do with recouping some money. 😁

Looks like a great idea, but really odd that none of the rewards are for the actual bike at an early bird price etc.

Just checking on here if anyone would be interested in an Erica Synths Acidbox 2 for £160? 🤔

THIS looks familiar! 😉

I'm going to the Theo talk at the museum of contemporary arts on Dec 7th... But he's also doing an 8hr set at Fabric the next day. His first UK set in 5 years.

These are great gloves. They've been my go to gloves for non freezing, non pissing down weather for a couple of years. Surprisingly warm and showerproof.

The best neoprene cycling gloves I've used are Velotoze. The new version has an extra layer of rubber around all the seams too. With silk liners underneath they're great in pissing rain. But still not warm enough if it's freezing too.
My 45nrth Sturmfist 4 gloves are the warmest I've used, but if it's pissing it down they get soaked and then eventually cold.
I have to say though... As much as I hate pogies visually, it was minus 3 this morning and I was still gloveless inside them. For that I can deal with the aesthetics. 😍

What can I say...I don't do mixers with built in effects. 😂
