What hubs are you running? Most sealed bearings are presses into the hub and need to be punched out one way or another.

London to Southend today, Just under 3 hours avg 17.8, nice ride!

Got a roadie?

back ache much? Dont tell me you went 30 miles without sitting up..

If people are slating halfords as a whole, it pisses me off, because i do work hard and without being too modest i do know a fair amount, its nice to know that people understand the situation such as yourself. And also to some extent im fed up of protecting a company who treats its employees like shit. If anyone is thinking of starting a career in the cycling industry, stay well away from halfords.

Couldn't agree more with you to be honest pashley. Alot of the other stores in our area put us to shame, which is partly the reason that as from yesterday i have exactly a month left until i leave, and start my new job

Serious? You talk some crap if im honest. Yes we sell £100 bikes, but so do ALOT of other bikeshops. There are two main different markets in the cycle industry, there's your budget bikes and then the 'higher end' bikes. Not only have halfords separated these by using different brands, but they also opened up stand alone stores that only stock better quality bikes. Not to mention the introduction of the cycle to work scheme that has boosted sales in the industry. I cant be asked to explain myself. Just f**k off.

Bikehut massiv

Band of Brothers Count?

Boardman Pro Carbon surely!!!

Just grab some old team shorts off eBay, keep an eye out for coolmax padding too. If your not worried about the colour you can get a decent set for about £15-£20.

i must say i was impressed by the fixie pixies doing london to brighton, one of them gunned it past me on ditchlin beacon.

good luck man

About £180-£200, not the greatest of bikes but a good starter.

Probably a bit late and most of you doing it will be in bed, but just a good luck shout to everyone doing it tomorrow. I start at 8, See you there if anyone's going!

They're pretty similar to the ones on the marin. They'll do the job fine, my only concern would be them actually fitting them on the bike.

You may beable to get that exact wheelset, finding where from may be a problem though... Give us a price range budy, for something similar, with the way prices are at the mo, i'd look to spend about £120ish. It a Medium, and given your height i'd go for a M too. Do what FP says just to make sure! P.S. Dont let the monkey size you up on a medium carrera!!!

too expensive

I've got two, definitely recommend either of them!!!

Everythings an argument with you. Yes smaller wheels are tougher, but were talking road use here, and you just said yourself they roll better... Combats are wider than 1" so your talking bollocks, not to mention at no point in time would there ever be the need for that setup... And it wont happen.. The guys after sorting out his old bike not buying a new bike, i was just trying to save him what would be alot of hassle and probably a fair amount of money. Why do i even bother trying to offer advise?

Okay, maybe not the whole concept, but everyone with half a brain knows that MTB evolved from cyclocross, as smaller wheels made it easier?... And you really think there's going to be clearance in that frame and fork for 26"? I take that back, continental do a 26" UltraGatorskin =/ Trying to find a rim to accommodate a 1.2 tyre may be a problem though... And what on earth do you mean they are taller? The only way that's possible is if your running some beastly tyre which clearly isnt an option on this frame and fork?!
