Looking for a set of pedals and straps if anyone's selling, preferably FGFS straps and BMX platforms.

I'm not the best at maths, but Pythagorean theorem only works with right angle triangles and triangle you're making there probably isn't a perfect right angle to that's where your measurement is out.

I could be spouting absolute shit though.

GTA V dispatched by Amazon...

Really wish I'd preordered it earlier than yesterday. I wasn't expecting them to dispatch it until Monday at the earliest so I left it until the last minute.

Sickening to think I could be sitting here playing it.

I fell off my Brompton this morning, right outside work, while travelling at walking pace.

Last year I managed to fall off my Plug as I was walking out of the gates of school, just rolling out the path and all of a sudden I was flat out and smashed my head off the ground.

2 questions.

First one, what could I use to make a back support for my Timbuk2 messenger, it's really annoying having something sticking into your back all the time.

Second, would I be better off putting a grippier tyre on the front or rear to stop me from slipping? My rear lugano is fairly worn and there isn't much tread left so I was thinking of sticking a zaffiro on there for now until I can afford something better. But it'd leave me with 25 on the front and 23 in the rear. Or should I just stick the other zaffiro on the front and put up with the shit ride.

Are you going with a back support? Or at least something to protect sharp stuff sticking into your back?

I have.

Unsurprisingly doing it properly (sand, primer, a few thin coats of paint) lasts better than a bodge.

Did you rebuild the wheel or did you just tape off the spokes with masking tape?

If you're actually "scared" of the rain i.e. not comfortable riding in wet conditions, perhaps you should start using a break, before worrying about your choice of tires... Riding brakeless is bad enough as it is, but to do so without 100 percent confidence is a recipe for disaster. Don't get me wrong I'm not taking the moral high ground here, I ride brakeless myself... Just saying.

Yeah I know what you mean, and I did on my last bike during the winter, but I'm riding a precursa with alpinas so I've no real choice but to go brakeless.

I'm not really afraid as such, I'm just always wary and looking to decrease the risk. I suppose the whole thing about the tires is because of the last slip during the winter I figured I'd just get a new set and ploug through it.

Anyone ever rattle canned rims? Current wheels are green which is fucking nasty.

Don't know if it's worth my time doing it properly, sanding off the original finish, then a few coats and clear coat.

Or just rattle can it and just hope to fuck that it stays.

Luganos are actually pretty good in the wet.

The kevlar strip yoke is pretty much worn out on the front and the back, so it's just like a slick.

Had a little slip turning at a roundabout today and it just reminded me.

Was thinking about getting GP4000s but they're expensive and I heard they wear really quick when brklzz.

The zaffiros would just be for October-February.

I'm afraid of the rain. Went out and bought a set of zaffiros in the hope that they'll have a little bit more grip that the ridiculously slick Luganos I have on at the moment.

Last winter I ended up with the right side of my face all swollen and a dislocated shoulder when my rear wheel slipped out from underneath me. I was rolling along slower than walking pace.

How do we even know that you've raised a single penny for charity, and aren't just selling off ridiculously shit attempts at making a lock holster?

DO YOU EVEN HAVE AN UNCLE NAMED X?

I still can't track stand. I just keep rolling forwards or else I just fall.

Large Plug definitely will be too small for you, I rode one at 6'1 with a 33 inseam, and I'm usually ride a 58cm frame with a lot of post.

you can get the orange one for 35 quid though. Personally i have a grey one

Where?

The slope on the pre cursa top tube is barely noticeable, uoeno's has much more than mine anyways.

Chain is anti.

Why didn't they slam the rear on the BMC? :(

If you really get stuck, and are desperate towards the event, how about getting the logos made on stickers?

They won't sell the individual tubes to me in Ireland, so I'll have to get them sent to a parcelmotel. But is it worth the hassle when the pack of 4 is only 15 quid? Works out the same price anyways.

Is there a code or anything? I added 2 of the 4 tube variety packs to my basket and went to check out, but it still came to €30 instead of 15
