Whats with the bent top tube fad? Is there any structural benefits? Because it sure looks like ass.

This. Used to happen all the time on my leaky RB Lever.

Front or back or both? The poll isn't very good. Front Hope Mono Trial, rear Magura with Plaz CRM's.

I can't see where I could make something for the spoke to wrap around, not a Marino obviously, but the dropout looks very similar to this: No obvious place to drill a hole for a boss, and I have no idea how it's supposed to wrap around the axle given that there's no room on that at all.

Decided that there's no room on my Marino dropouts to accomodate this in any way, sucks

if I'm back in Leeds I'd be up for it.

In the video it sounds like he said "City Wok pads!" in a Chinese accent.

It's just a shame I'm either in Yorkshire or Essex and can't drive.

If it wasn't in Wales I'd definitely be there, and I'd consider £20 cheap for something like that.

Should have gone for a black front rim so it was totally blue faded into black.

Isn't water far more suitable for DOT systems than mineral ones? I'm sure I read that if not DOT is available, worst comes to worst you can use water and it'll be fine, just have a low boiling point, whereas water is never recommended for mineral systems but we all just do it anyway.

I seeeee, good thinking, I've got a couple of spokes lying about I think, I'll try bodge one up.

I prefer the black That place looks crazy good to ride too.

Still have nothing to wrap it around though, unless I'm totally misunderstanding what you mean.

No mech hanger on my awesome steel frame, no room on the axle either, ah well.

Actually the Speedrace frames are really strong, I know because I bought mine 2 weeks ago and it's still going strong.

Is everyone just drilling an extra hole to mount a bolt or something for it to wrap around? Because there's certainly nothing suitable on my frame for it.

2 months!? Damn .

Wide, strong rims - D521's were too narrow really Modern geometry stock frames - Brisa's and Pashley's were crap geometry wise Hope Mono Trial - Best front brake ever. Hope Pro II also worth a mention, but Kings were about then even though I couldn't afford them.

Award for most useless photo of a spoke tensioner ever conceivable goes to...

Do it then, only £15 return on the train I think.

I have enough touching to go around.

I would consider coming down to touch you occasionally on the train.

Haha, someone around here did that to their car.
