Fixed Pants™

I was asking about where i stand, who's fault you lot reckon it'd be... Luke, i shall inform you now, i know my shit.

I phoned him up to ask him if anything was wrong with them, and he reckoned i should just go for it... Bah, i guess i'm just gonna leave it, and when i don't have any rides coming up, i'll just get it replaced half price when i'm in credit. And I work in a bikeshop myself, i am really quite knowledgeable so i didn't really need to ask someone.

20". 20". 20". 20".

Ha, winner. Make sure it's the girls though, otherwise that's just uncalled for.

It does definitely look wonky on the thread through.

I think you may be able to flush the phone to reset the IMEI code thing... Not sure though, i'll look into it later.

Phoned them, they said just send it to us under the half price crash replacement thing. No, not yet, but i will do. Yeah, it's all on but still won't be as strong as a normal, unf**ked thing. Hmm, well the freewheel is all the way onto the cranks, so all of the thread is gonna be mashed. You reckon it'll just end up spinning around the crank one day?

No, i was just teaching him.

Bugger. Ah well, just hope it holds up for tomorrow (yes, i am going to London) Ok so damaged threads it might not be, as that is quite right. But, the first 3 or 4 turns as i said, were fine... Then the rest weren't.

Yeah, then when it does die i can send it off to supercycles and hopefully will have enough money to get it replaced. But still, it's money. Not being sarcastic here; and i probably won't be able to ride for a few days anyway.

It's too late for that The freewheel has been sketchily fitted, hoping it doesn't give way.

Obviously he doesn't want to do that because he's sure they left him in good cond. He apparently only took the sprocket off a few days before he sold them to me and the threads were fine. I mean the threads on the cranks. The freewheels probably cromo so they're not gonna get buggered... Yeah i did take the freewheel off a few times to reattempt to put the freewheel on properly, but no luck. Muel, the first few did indeed look a bit flat/damaged, so it seems like it was the poor packaging that did it. But that doesn't explain why the first few threads seemed to be right, but cross threaded before hand. Because the rest of the threads were getting f**ked as it screwed on. Like this: Crank side |||||||||||\\\\ BB side

Basically, i bought a set of tensiles and a try-all freewheel from someone on here (not mentioning names because i'm not pointing the finger) They were put in a jiffy bag, loose, just clunking around, when i went to fit the freewheel, i greased the threads, got it perfect on the threads (no resistance), span it a few times and it just went stiff, managed to turn it about 1 more turn, and then i knew something was deffo wrong. Seems to be cross threaded, after a few more turns it was definitely as i thought. Now, i'm gonna take his word for it and believe that they were fine when he sent them. But i reckon the freewheel (as it was just loose in the jifft bag) could have damaged the threads cos they didn't look great when i took them out of the bag. Reckon a freewheel hitting against the threads on the cranks could have damaged them? They're really fine as you know, and also only aluminium, so i dunno. Would this make it his fault? I dunno what to do now, apart from fork out more money to get them replaced through supercycles' great half price replacement plan thing. That, or the other explanation could be that the first few were f**ked and the rest were fine, which suggests they were f**ked when they were sent out. Views?

This guy just added me on myspace... http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fusea...iendid=88447713 Rather f**king good! Shame it's early morning, or i'd be maxing my speakers.

Mine and Skozes van with 'free candy' written on the side outside the local primary school is also a good spot, but don't tell your mum.

Thinking 'he must have a massive knob, cos he's an ugly f**ker!'

Nice. However, them forks are going to last about 2 weeks from your kind of riding

HAPPY BDAY SEXY!!!!!!! YOU'RE SO MUCH BETTER THAN SAM. (L)

Ah, apologies. Danny's a spack I'll send it to you over msn.

That's alright man, i've got a try-all 108.9 freewheel but i managed to cross thread the crank Thanks for the offer anyway.

Properly listened to it today, and it sound so f**king top class. Really has a massive professional (like, signed and big named) feel to it. Soo well made.

URGENT: If i am to ride my Leeson sunday, i need to borrow a crank, of the isis variety, drive side, 18t freewheel, 170mm length (or about 5mm either way)! Will pay in hand relief/relentless? PLEASEEE BABES!!!!
