I'm 120KG and carry about 10KG in stuff on my daily commute - 600km's in the first 6 months of ownership, and it's just had a check over... all if good.

I think they're playing it safe (to echo other comments), but also if you are on the heavier end of the spectrum, the bushes on the rear triangle, and the suspension bush will wear at a faster rate.

Around 8:30 this morning, the chap was sitting up with a paramedic tending to him.

Lots of people about, and bit's of moped across the road... not the nicest of junctions... hope he's ok.

Interested! How much are you after? ;)

Is the Brooks still available?

Deore M532 with BB, 3 days left, currently £1 plus £5 p&p

Cheers fella! It helps when you have someone telling you what you should be looking at! :D

Given it's a MTB frame, I'd be concerned about whether generic fixie cranks would clear the chainstays.

If you choose MTB cranks, you should get a chainline that allows you to use a proper 135mm singlespeed hub in the future.

Hmm...the friends using them, have them on old MTB frames.

You think MTB cranks are a much better option? They seem to be pretty expensive...although I am sorely tempted by those Zee ones...

Do you have a screw on freewheel or a cassette and freehub?

Cassette and freehub...from what I understand I can use a surly cog that I've been given, and a spacer kit/lockring?

Cheers for the advice!

I've had these: http://www.charliethebikemonger.com/driveline-track-cranks--free-bb-264-p.asp recommended to me by a couple of friends, any thoughts?

Having calmed down and done some googling of my own, the shimano Zee crankset's look to be pretty good value for money.

Any thoughts? Anyone using them?

Evening all,

After some stop-start plans to turn my old 1995 Marin Bear Valley into a SS, I've decided that it needs sorting as I move into London and will be commuting on it within then next month or so.

Essentially the drivetrain was FUBAR, so I thought SS was the way forward...after some investigation the cranks mount the outer ring to the middle ring, which mounts to the granny ring...and as far as I understand it, that makes them useless for SS conversion (help?!).

So...after some advice really...what's the best way forward please?

Budget of about £150 to get it all back up and running...help me please, I'm useless.

10am slot gone!

Anyone else want to have a chat and book in with me? Helpful if I can tell our tech guy what you have now, what you'd like to do, etc....

Its in the diary.

Cracking. Anything you want to know in advance, drop me a pm.

this looks cool. is it a day thing?

Yeah, plan is to be there from 10-4ish, would be cool to have a few people interested up front who have spreadsheets they want to have turned into something more useful...

Sounds like a good idea. Not something I need at the moment. Good luck.

Ta.

Hey Jeez,

I think we see lots of businesses that start off using spreadsheets for all their data, then get to the point where the data needs to be shared, distributed or reported on...and hit a wall.

It's a case of drag and drop to get an XLS or CSV file into our software, then within about 30 minutes you can have a decent looking sharable database that can be deployed to web or iOS.

I've come into this really late in the day, but the plan is to get some people up and running on a database within 30 minutes, using their existing business data.

It's a PR event for us, but for a small business it could be a useful start in the data management/efficient working and sharing areas...and you get something for free.

Given the location that's being used, I thought a few people that frequent LMNH might be up for this...maybe?

On 28/01/2014 the company I work for is taking over a bit of space at Look Mum No Hands for a thing called #Escfromxls.

We're looking for some small businesses with their business stuck in a spreadsheet, that want to get it out, making it easy to share with others, and ultimately maybe use our product.

If you're in the old street area on the 28th, fancy a freebie database and can sit with us for 1/2 an hour and let us build you something...then please reply on this tread or pm me.

If this isn't cool, mods please delete!

Cheers

Chris

Your surfboard (many ^^^ with the 7m long Podracer) matches my quilt cover. That is all, you can keep your stupid cup, my feisty vole says the terminal velocity required to 'wall of death' within it is "Beyond comprehension, what the fuck are you thinking? I'm calling the RSPCA and Childline"

What the hell am I going to do with these bike sized wall of death safety helmets now?

Maybe it could be used for wall of death pod racing?

Are you sure you want rid of this Sorethroat?

Google tells me that the PodRacer™ is 7 meters long, given this new information it would appear that this truly is a gigantic mug.

Have you considered offering it to London Zoo? It could be used to supplement their penguin pools...

Hey, I'm new...half way through turning my 1995 Marin Bear Valley SE into a single speed...I'll try not to ask too many stupid questions...

updates CV, attempted to blag way through doors
