Ooooooh 50/16 versus 46/14.... Sprocket versus chainring... Roundheads and cavaliers...
According to one table, you find yourself at 84.4, and I am on 88.7...
And the same result emerges from other tables too....0 -
Outgunned again dammit.
Actually, I've never actually counted my rear teeth, just seem to remember it being sold with a 16!

I just counted mine, and I'm on a 48/17, when I thought it was 48/16. I'm not even in the 80's

Ahhhhh ITB, whatever happened to the massive ring you ordered from the states? 95+GI wasn't it? MTFD much?

Maybe its because I've spent most of my life in the South Norwood/Thorton Heath/Norbury/Croydon - where:
- Fireworks sound like gun shots.
- People have evolved to be bulletproof.
- Any time you see someone running they've stolen from a shop or someone's handbag.
- My phone when outdoors is always on silent.
- Buy one get one free is the only sale people acknowledge.
- English - the spoken language - is secondary to all other methods of communication and languages including hand gestures.
- £5 Buffet restaurants are always in business and will defy the recession.
- Lidl and Primark aren't a novelty they are a way of life.
- People drive into petrol stations fill their cars up with petrol and then drive off
- McDonalds is a delicacy.
- Waitrose and Marks and Spencer are for Upper Class people.
- £5 an hour is a good salaryBassjunkieuk wrote:Well I'll offer up my erm "services" to help remove any extra curry.......

Is this not the point of petrol stations?!
I went out with a Croydon girl for a while. She was very fond of saying "you can take the girl out of Croydon but you can't take the Croydon out of the girl," turned out to be a heartless b1tch of course!

Oh I have the massive 101 GI RING but for a change i'm taking sensible advise and trying to improve my peddling style which frankly needed it, the plan is to make my normal riding pace about 100RPM then slowly add GI until I can maintain that RPM.

When I used to organise airshows, we used to accommodate people in Croydon, at the Hilton and the hotel across the road - the Aerodrome or something - for Biggin Hill airshow.
One year a wing commander from the BBMF was shot in the head with an air rifle by 'a youth in a car' walking back from a curry! Unbelieveable. He was fine, but shocked!0 -

No one was schooled in Brixton then Fulham and later Sandhurst but I spent my deviant young in South Croydon, Purley and other such charming places mixing with all the right "cough cough!" people.

Sooooo back on topic, the subject I believe was food, as there seems to be an advance party of Morpetheers this Friday we're you brave pioneers of the cause planning on sampling said curries?
Oh god just the thought of curry right now is making my mouth water, two feking weeks of beans and made up named food products, how I long for (was going to say meat but thought better of it) spice!Rule #5 // Harden The Feck Up.

No, but recently when I went to the Biggin Hill show and got a room in a nearby hotel, a crane fell on it. FFS. I'm not going back there, no matter who's in the Airshow.

OMG! You should have said, my parent's house is only across the road from there (where the trams run) and I was out in the garden when that damn thing collapsed! It sounded like a bomb went off (nothing out of the ordinary for Croydon). Made a right mess of the hotel and upset my mum as she has a membership for the gym over there and they had to shut it for repairs!
The amusing thing was I have a mate who for some reason didn't know about the Biggin Hill air show so got a bit worried, after having heard a loud explosion, seeing fighter planes flying around 0 -

You have indeed swapped pitbulls for royalty.
I've just been to my dentist ( ) opposite the theatre. There's loads of police, photographers and security fences up, as apparently Prince Charles is going to the theatre tonight for his birthday. They've even closed the road next to yours - luckily I walked rather than took the bike. 0 -
