Interesting 🤭 Na I’ll stick with working in a bike shop and a vape shop though I do like eating a lot

Items located in barnoldswick probably seen sense and went to hope as its round the corner lol

SJS have just drop right down in my estimations I was concidering a new uno ring last week but know forget it will fit the spider back on and go for other rings again.

Corsa G+ have been ok so far no punctures as of yet fitted at Xmas

Fitted a few of the wheels mfg bb30/pf30 BB’s now for customers as they seem not to creak and last, have one club guy into his second year using one with out problems so gonna give them a thumbs up for longevity and lack of faff

I did these for customers I own Hand Crafted Wheels done a fair few set of wheels for people on here and build the racing chair wheels for draft wheel chairs.

Drop me a mail if you want dude dan@handcraftedwheels.co.uk and ignore the webpage as I can’t update it and use the facebook page now for pretty much everything lol

And yes they always seem to run a really high spoke tension which when you check is near the top end of DT and Spain’s tension scale for those used

Perchypanther I just spat my tea reading that dude best comment of the day

I done a couple of pairs of Reynolds assault wheels recently and used sapim internal brass nipples added about 15grams to the front and 19grams to the rear but worth it to know they are not going corrode as much as alloy worked out at £65 a pair

Though as above sapim me new Polyax nipples are claiming to be highly resistent to corrosion though only time will tell both their brass and Polyax alloy seem well made though and nice to build with.

My favourite spoke key when ever I’m in the mood to use it over the others it’s hiding it’s one of the DT Swiss ones so pretty big red and hard to miss but when I want it it’s hiding.

Shouldn’t the title of this thread be “brokenasscrackworld” rather than “brokenasstrackworld” dude?

Hope you have a speedy recovery and your butt bone heals soon.

Have a look at MKS pedals and toe straps they have loads of road pedal designs for people who prefer a flat pedal.

Having used them myself on I can safely say they are well made and last

Today’s the day if anyone here fancies coming weather looks spot on.

Just a quick bump as its tomorrow

Was just gonna ask was the wheel near the exhaust as that’s killed a few carbon rims

It’s all done and on paper benp1 I can’t believe how good they have been

Well I have some very good news now I’m back from the bank they have opened a basic account for me transferred everything I have too it and frozen all debt and interest for six months to give me a chance to find a full time job and turn around the shop all because I was honest and upfront they have told me my parents house and assets are perfectly safe and would not go near that I have to say a very big massively huge thank you to Lloyds for this. I’m having the rest of the day off to work on my CV and also been offered an offshore contract doing early morning barge moves for a few mornings a week so all going well I could be sorted.

Once I have a full time job I’m going to have the shop back to the old way of evenings and weekends but it’s all looking up from here.

Thanks everyone for your support and I can’t believe the knot has gone at last I’ve been feeling so ill for weeks now.

And if you need hand built wheels remember

Handcraftedwheels.co.uk on Facebook

I offer an out of hours service at no extra charge and work 10-6 mon-Thurs and 10-9pm Friday and Saturdays and 10-7pm Sundays at mo but I’m to far from train station for commuters which and in a small town.

I’ve an appointment this morning at 11am at the bank to see if they can help and also been in one agency this morning and have appointment at the other at 1pm so fingers crossed I can find a full time job ASAP and carry on the shop evenings and weekends as the shop is so cheap £100 a month plus bills which are never much. It’s just a case of advertising every new customer I get raves about me on Facebook but advertising is so expensive and it’s the cash I just don’t have lol.

I think it’s the age old customer service still doesn’t beat the Internet sale price I was offering spares, repairs and wheel builds only to keep the shop small (cheap) I’m listing stock cheap on eBay and off loading my own bikes to get as much as I can. I’m going to get an appointment at the CAB tomorrow and see what I have to do next as I just have no idea and have the biggest knot in my stomach and feel sick purely worry about things I have no control over. I can probably last about 2 more months plus what ever comes in I between while I’m searching for a full time job but Lowestoft is very lacking in work and it’s worse since the offshore industry took a plunge south.

Cheers guys first attempt at working for myself more worried about what my mum and dad living at home than anything else everything I’ve read says it’s only me that should worry the house and stuff is safe but and all my problems are in my name not theirs but those TV shows on debt have me more than worried. I’ve I can find a full time job earning £1200 a month after tax I’ll be able to muddle through but just can’t find anything.

The one in the beach at wells next to sea is great ended up staying there for a month with work in 2011 there is a pine forest that seems to go on forever right on the beach as crazy as that sounds and it’s attached the camp site

Direct line and A-plan came in about the same for me but direct line had the better policy over all for little bits.

Johnski just found it its 32h drop me an email dan@handcraftedwheels.co.uk and I’ll send you some pics see if it’s any good too you its new and eyeleted and if it’s right cover postage and it’s yours

As above hit the buy it now before someone else does dude then go round with the boys and blue and let them do their thing.

Down hill techie sections I’m hearing cosmic psychos bullets

That and reel big fish “I know you too well”

Esi chunky user here once fitted they don’t move much more comfy than any lock on or normal grip I’ve used before

I’ll have a look in the store in the morning but think I have one 32h light 24″ rim I ordered in for a guy but he never came back for it if it’s still their it’s yours for postage think it’s double eyeleted as well

I’m now into my fourth year without doing any training just fun rides and so far so good!!!!! Lol I’m now two stone heavier and I feel great training hard always left me feeling drained and catching ever bug that went around.

So anyone asking questions yet? Any ideas?

The chap is down the road from me in Norfolk so sort of half explains it, but I couldn’t stop laughing as I read the description. I’m tempted to ask if he’s serious or if it’s a gag listing.

Cav!!!!!!!

Thanks Whitestone really good read and now going to learn more about it thank you.

So Ian Fleming would have fitting nicely as a member of are esteemed group STW then hahahahhahaa

Medium cage if you can’t get the B tension screw out far enough on the short cage dude. Or splash out for a tiagra for a couple of quid more!

I left a £22,000-£60,000 a year offshore based job due to stress!!!!!! And bullsh!tarrie and drinking clubs. Was the best thing I did as I’m now back in the cycle industry and in my own little bike service shop. The pay is a lot less but job satisfaction is so much better and home by 6.30pm as my shop is short walk from home.

I’ve quite often pondered about titanium rims double wall construction with stainless eyelets not built round weight weenie but for touring in a massive loaded bike off road kinda way.

Also stainless hub body’s and freehub

Napoleon looks like an angry bird lol sorry he looks so funny and cool

I’m enjoying my surly pacer at mo with 36mm open tubs alls good in the hood but now summers here ish I’m running 28’s

Warranty if it happens again go hope, XT or other hub of your choosing dude

Waiting in anticipation as last years was so funny and spot on last year.

Poweray hubs thought cheap gonna be ok for A winter but was that surprised by the quality I now offer them in wheelsets.
