Brake lever's on the wrong side : p

I've read the whole post but am pretty sure but sorry if it's been posted before. Pretty rad. http://www.apple.com/downloads/dashboard/calculate_convert/skidpatchcalculator.html

Used a regular chain tool to take a really old chain off a frame just the other day. Should be fine

Looks like a frame I've got. Is it an old apollo? I'd be interested to know how it holds up to fixed riding. Thinking about transferring the parts from my current fixed bike as the frame is bigger on the old one.

Looks fun. Nice and fast and nothing too rough. ps. it's Burrito

Pretty sure the crank puller should be fine but considering the BB look like this http://harriscyclery.net/merchant/370/images/large/bb105-sugino-103mm.jpg you might need a different BB tool with more "teeth"? One of these perhaps...

I live in Canberra(pretty small place in terms of the people you regularly see riding) and have had two, quite distinctive bikes stolen and have never seen them again. Even if they were stripped I'd have thought I'd see parts from them but alas no. Had a look around the pawn shops but nothing...

Can't remember who said but I'm sure there was a quote on these forums of put triple clamps on a hardtail and you will die. I'd be going for a single crown fork with adjustable travel. That way you can reduce the travel for DJing and then have more for DH. Something like a Pike with U turn...

All this talk of alley cats makes me want to give up the mountainey climes of canberra and move to a real city where I can do more than just commute on my fixie.

They're tektro : p Any number of things. Are they slowing you down at all? The pads could be worn, the cables could be stretched or the levers might not be set up properly.

Norco 250 Hey mate. I've got a 2005 Norco 250 frame. It's 24" wheels only and dark brown. Fairly sure it's a s/m. Great condition with a few scratches at most. Apart from postage I'd take $200
