  2. Rear 185mm = Front 200mm So you'd have to buy another adapter or disc. You can get BB7s from else where. Try UK bike store for cheap ones. As for rotor size if your lardy go for the 200mm.

    Longest I've heard of are 31.50" http://www.pinkbike.com/news/2008GravityLightWidebars.html Can't get them yet though.
  4. I'm 6'4 and get on ok with mine. The head angle is quite steep so the frames still have lots of cockpit room. Try different stems and stack heights till you find something comfortable.

    Ashton

    No its just a dodgy paint job on an old Ashton with some Orange stickers. Think the Ashton Orange thing has fallen apart now anyway.

    Nice one Ross. Getting 24" stylee
  9. I won't be around this weekend but i'm sure Strath will. Give him a shout
  10. thankfully a roll out along a decent sized ledge
  11. Those two are just freaks . The rest of us are turd in comparison and frequently hungover so not much gets done.
  12. He wanted to try it backwards too...
  13. Few photos from Saturday. Comments & critique welcome
  14. I feel for you mate. I snapped my ACL a while back and had same OP as yourself. i'm shit scared when riding now. I have fallen awkwardly on the bad knee since and damaged it slightly but thankfully still going strong. Its scarily easily to do. Out of interest how much rehab did you do? First post was only March so can't of been long. If you've snapped it again take your time rehabbing it and get a decent physio & rehab program. Most physios are crap. I was lucky and had access to a physio and strength and conditioning coach that deal with professional athletes day to day. I'm continuing to rehab my knee in the gym about 16months since surgery. Good Luck!

    17 Tooth Cog.

    On-one sell Singlespeed ones for a tenner. http://www.on-one-shop.co.uk/acatalog/Sprockets.html
  16. Ride all the places Rob mentions and a few others. Main ones are bristo & festival square though. I'm guessing train is probably your best bet.
  17. Might be there. Depends on the weather, women and snow.
  18. I live in Edinburgh city centre and ride during the week and weekends. Give us a shout or rumplestiltskin if you want to ride. Will be riding this week whenever its dry. Probably not tonight as it will be raining but possibly tomorrow night as forecast is dry.
  19. Why not get a onza or vp BB instead? No hollow axels with those.
  20. I'm needing a 68 - 73mm BB Spacer. Anyone know where i could get one? Or alternatively something to bodge one out of?
  21. Nice one ben. Loved the line in the dodgy estate in Glasgow. Tis massive in reality. Need to the the rails there next time Need to get a glasgow,edinburgh,aberdeen ride again soon
  22. Small point but the smaller the chainring and rear sprocket the more force your putting on the chain as it is concentrated on a smaller area. This also causes chains to wear quicker. It shouldn't cause you to constantly be snapping chains though. What ratio are you running?
  23. Nice one. Vids are definitely getting better.
