  1. Yeah only idiots ride brakeless. *drunk telling kid alcohol is bad*
  2. Depends on what speed you're going obviously. But if there's traffic about i generally do about 15mph if it's slow moving, and it'll take me like 10m to stop?
  3. Oh but i heard that gears are for people who aren't man enough to suck it up and ride up a hill in one gear?
  4. Oh but approx 100% of the geared riders in the world are gay. Very odd indeed.
  5. Only thing is single speed freewheels like to keep the chain on better than a multi speed freewheel... So if the chain and freewheel are knackered it will be more likely to skip n stuff.
  6. Haha that's not excitement, that's joe rothwell getting bummed. Sundays are good, i've heard my shops gonna be closing sundays again which will be good. What time are you about in the evenings? I think the best bet would be west wickham and bromley for riding... How 'good' are you? I'm around this evening if you wanna ride... But i'm aching like a motherbitch so i won't be on top form! Gimme a text on the number i gave earlier and we'll bash some walls.
  7. He's right about gears are for queers. But they don't just break. Shit stuff breaks. Just get an old geared road bike, take the multi freewheel off and all the gearing, slap a cheap acs on the thread, make the chain the right length and pull it back in the drop out (make sure it's not a vertical dropout) and bobs your uncle. But to answer your question better, you won't pick up a cheap fixie. Don't buy a unipack 'imported courier bike' or a 'create' because they are the same thing, and both WILL attempt to kill you more times than you can count.
  8. I'M IN PENGE! OMGOMGOMG another rider! They're rare around here as you can tell. I work full time and have every thursday off, and every other weekend off (this weekend coming is my weekend off) Lemme know when you're about. 07837990463
  9. Been coughing for the last hour or so, really nasty, and i got work at 9.
  10. Sintered has bits of metal like stuff in it, which makes it bite a bit more? Resin specific discs do exist i believe... IE, shimano deore discs generally come with writing on them saying 'use resin pad only' n stuff. This is the stuff that confuses me, i keep getting terms mixed up. EDIT: Yep, sintered statement is true, not 100% about the resin but some discs like the deore ones do prefer resin pads...
  11. 'oi mate your seats been nicked' 'OH SHIT, I DUNNO WHERE TO FIND IT. MAYBE THE SEARCH FUNCTION?'
  12. Your problem is you have bought resin pads, designed for a resin specific disc. They're a different compound and work badly on normal discs. You need to buy sintered or organic replacements. Sintered has more bite but will wear down quicker (only a small difference)
  13. Laws. Like, it shouldn't be illegal to smack kids, but it should be illegal to punch them or whatever. You know what i mean, there's limits to laws and sometimes you can go slightly past them without doing any harm.
  14. Which is why people constantly do 90+ on the motorways when the limit is 70... It's not all bad.
  15. Well it's like everything. Speeding, should be, and is illegal, but is 5mph over the limit really gonna give you jip?
  16. Weekend 8th and 9th? Good. Cya then. I'll do it fixed without putting my feet down, unless someone bumps into me or something.
  17. What's that? They have a championship for faggots who wanna ride trials but aren't cool enough to do it on bikes? And they go to the gymnasium every afternoon to practice on the trampolines and spring boards? Oh ok. FAGGOTS.
  18. xSTRAIGHTEDGEx officially makes it a joke, for you anyway. Jon is reppin' it all day every day, don't get it twisted yo. Genuine following, but writing it like that is just retarded.
  19. Sam, you're special if you can't work edge and straight edge out. I ride bicycle trials. I ride trials. Same thing? Just a bit shorter. Especially if it's as specific as edge and straight edge.
  20. I love a cold cider after a days ride or a days work, it's refreshing and does taste nice, especially Kopparberg, tastes like sweet drink. I also like how 'relaxed' i am (as in, i say things better) when i've been drinking. People turn into bellends because they are belleneds.
