You want the new ceramic eye bearings. Get them at the LOS. Local Optician's Shop.

Don't get a trike. Get a two-wheeled thingy from tiltmaniac.

Welcome to the crazy, hip-swivelling world of MBB.

I have 145 cranks from a company called Redline BMX. I got them from American Ebay. You get cranks and a BB axle, which you need because it is their own design.

I am talking about the Silvio. Actually I can go slower on the Grasshopper. I think it has less gear-inches.

I think higher cadence is more stable. I have a single chainwheel. I am in a dilemma about getting a smaller one. There are a few places where I would like less gear-inches on the way up, but I would spin out on the way down. Nobody tell me to get a double, because I hate them.

Probably 3mph on the flat, a bit over 4mph, and somewhat wobbly, ascending mountains. Only once has a mountain defeated me, but other people probably experience steeper mountains than I do. I have 145 cranks, and 42t at both ends of the drive-train.

Cobalt, blue, graphite - but what would I do with them? After about 10 miles my Silvio was already covered in dirt, which covered up the scratches. I look at everybody's pictures of their beautiful shiny bikes and wonder how they stay so beautiful and shiny. Now my Silvio has home-made...

Amazing statues. My favourite is the grasshopper.

They look like treadless tyres. I did not know you could get treadless that wide. What is the elephant doing? That yellow guy looks uncomfortable. I wonder if his breathing is restricted. What is the apparatus under his handlebars? Jason knows about nasty neck stress because his headrest...

Sorry, mansplaining all over the women's thread. Manthreadhijacking. You ladies don't understand mechanics and all that.

How long does the back tyre last on a fixie?

Even when she is bar-pulling, her hands are near the middle. She hardly touches the outer part. I think your arms give more power if your hands are in the position of holding a beer glass by the handle. Maybe she could try those MTB bar-end things and saw the drops off. Not really clear from...

Jason is right. Why race on a Cruzbike without pulling the bars?

That is impressive. I can probably do 7kph. Go as slow as you can. The kind of race I might actually have a chance of winning.

I feel sorry for your wife. Does she mind being the stoker with someone who has forgotten how to steer? Salt already! London does not usually get that cold for another month.

I have XX1 derailleur and cog and these are the only ones of which I have a lot of recent experience. I have a wide-narrow oval chainwheel. Shifting is not noticeably better or worse than with a round one.

Nah, it would be a flop.

I have no problem pushing my Silvio. Hand on boom, just in front of the steering axis. With both hands on the bars, one hand squeezing the front brake, I can pivot it about the front wheel. I, too, am better at being a parking coach than I am at dropping TT blokes.

In the kind of head I have, anything sounds clever. Donuts for Jason are like spinach for Popeye. He yam what he yam and that's all that he yam, he's Jason the biker man.
