TrialsIsHard Posted February 11, 2016 Report Share Posted February 11, 2016 16 hours ago, Mark W said: If you wanted to run the equivalent of 22:15, you could do either 18:12 (which would feel a tiny bit harder) or 18:13 (which would be pretty similar). This would be possible but due to being a cautious fanny I want to use a wider rear sprocket on the rear like the TT to prevent digging. I'll just take the hit on pricing if it gets me back out on the bike it's worth it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted February 11, 2016 Report Share Posted February 11, 2016 The Gusset Doublesix is available in 12t and is 2.5mm wider than the TT one But yeah, it's all good 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Rainbird Posted February 11, 2016 Report Share Posted February 11, 2016 Gusset Double Sixes and sets of MG-1s were a staple on pretty much every bike I owned once I'd figured out what I was doing* and knew what's what.*Knew what I was doing when building. I was always a clueless b*****d when it came to actually riding the things... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrialsIsHard Posted February 11, 2016 Report Share Posted February 11, 2016 I totally didn't realise they were thicker *doh*. I'll get one if I decide to use the bike to actually get places- a ridiculous idea I know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Rainbird Posted February 11, 2016 Report Share Posted February 11, 2016 Semi-Car-Thread, but I sold the hybrid turbo kit that I was going to be using to a chap in Scotland when I changed my plans. Annoyingly it was just after I had a draft swap so I wasn't able to deliver it all in person but a friend took it up for me and met the chap who it turns out was not only a lovely guy to speak to on the phone/via email but was either an utter baller, a drug dealer, a human trafficker or a combination of the three, as having just received the payment from my friend (who's now home again), it's all in £100 notes and he threw in a bottle of (actual) Champagne as well. What an absolute gent! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skoze Posted February 12, 2016 Report Share Posted February 12, 2016 Clerkenwell - really cool little ideas-led studio working from Coda music agency's place, so some serious crossovers of interest... Felt properly at home yesterday so really looking forward to starting. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isitafox Posted February 12, 2016 Report Share Posted February 12, 2016 Parallette bars on the way from the Tarts along with some pimped (but not as much as originally planned) brakes. Roll on Monday! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the heaviest setting I presume? no we usually run about half resistance; the machines in our club are very well loved so they're quite 'resistive' anyway. heres an interesting article about the resistance dial if you wanna learn about it i think i'd be hospitalized if i pulled a 17.40 on full crack . in other happy news; i started an office job in september and despite basically quitting road bikes which made up most of my life the summer before i started i haven't put on heaps of weight or lost much fitness due (mostly cause of rowing). i'm really weird about my body weight and size so i'm quite happy at how i've been adulting with all things considered. i've improved my diet significantly too 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jolfa Posted February 13, 2016 Report Share Posted February 13, 2016 (edited) Oh no, not one of those, the X-Torts That very one in fact which weirdly just came up on Google Images, hosted by my mate on our old website from 2000-2001ish, because if you didn't have a website with pics of your bike/bio/a for sale section (?!) you may as well not bother riding a bike at all! Longest damn bike in the world, look at the gap between rear wheel and seat tube ffs!
