So, Hammy got his hole with the office bike got drunk and posted it... good lad.
Morals are a funny thing, I reckon mine went out the window a few months back.
What's wrong with a "Friday night f*ck buddy"? Consenting and all that...

So you've not fitted the freewheel at all?
Not running a back brake is a mistake, when it's slippy it's easy to lose control and ram right into the back of something if you are going to fast.
As for the hero of the story and his paramour - I think it's all good - looking forward to tonight's battered installment.Fixed gear for wet weather / hairy roadie for posing in the sun.

Thats right, no freewheel. The thread where the freewheel could be is slowly gathering road dirt until the weekend clean.

It depends on your perception of risk.
And I suppose where your riding... the 'red route' or the 'dirt track' demands different types of protection I'm told.Food Chain number = 4

you can run a fixed without a bake brake no problems, I'd suggest a smaller gear as you will need to leg brake a fair whatck

It's a bit sad when a bloke needs to resort to using anaesthetic to get a shag. And possibly a bit illegal though I'm no expert.

Actually its a 'connie' made by Durex. It's actually called 'Performa'.
I only know them because a house mate gave me one as I had run out of featherlite (the nations favourite).
To be honest with you these brand names could easily be co-opted into bike tyres i.e. Performer and Featherlite road bike tyres. Ribbed for Cyclocross. Roughrider and Blitzkrieg for MTB. Extra Safe for nodders and hybrids.Food Chain number = 4

Has anyone considered how big the Husband is (or how psycho the husband is. Remember Raul Moat) and how much of a butt kicking he'd likely dish out if and when he finds out.
I mean this, self preservation, may be the deciding factor before any morals are even questioned....
Having been 'in bed' with the GF when her 'husband'* decided to come and inspect 'his house' at 2.30am, I can confirm that this should be No.1 priority! Fortunately he shat his pants when I got out of 'his bed' to have a word about his conduct. I went down stairs and offered him a cup of tea, he didnt know what to do. :shock: The police arrived shortly after and got him to leave. I then boshed his 'wife' twice more before sunrise. Hehehe!

So you were in this guys house shagging his wife, who is/was also your girlfriend?
He comes home at 2.30am. Why so late and why did he come round to inspect his house? Was he living there at the time?
What conduct did you discuss with him?
Why did he have to leave his property?
Sounds like he was a beta to me?Food Chain number = 4

In my experience once one's lower brain takes over the thinking (often helped by one or two drinks) then morality, safety and consequences are pushed way to the back.
