Re: Converted my Kona to singlespeed today. Did it on the cheap, so took off all the gear shifters/mechs etc. Found an old mech to use as a chain tensioner, and took off the big ring from my old STX chainset. Now an lovely hack bike, complete with SKS mudguards and slick tyres. Might set up...

Sad news. RIP. Thinking of his friends and family.

Read about this another cycling site. Hope he recovers soon. Loved him since seeing him in Chainspotting.

Used to love Carter in my student days..... hey I still do :-)

Its only one atom thick so could be integrated into a regular tyre compound perhaps? You watching horizon too by any chance?

Seems graphene could be used to make tyres. Thats what I read in this weeks cycling weekly anyway. Perhaps they will be puncture proof?

I use my Kona as my winter bike. Slick tyres and full mudguards.

Just watched from here on the laptop :-) http://www.cyclingtips.com.au/2012/12/b ... in-yellow/ Brilliant!

Missed it :-( It doesn't appear to be repeated again either. Plenty of other shows repeated, but not this.

There's are company in Dartford called Colourtech. My local bike shop used them for repair work. http://www.colour-tech.co.uk/

Does anyone know what the BCD for a STX crank is? Its not the RC version (if that matters). I'm thinking of going single speed on my winter bike for road only use. I thought about a 39t ring? I remember STX cranks being a bit of an odd size, so could I find a modern ring to fit them...

I thought it was only Clarkson who relied on provocative jokes to get a response? Hope May and Hammond don't start lowering themselves to this kind of humour. I can just about understand such things from Clarkson as he's always done it, but not the other two please.
