I can honestly say I've never had difficulties with a patch either at home or on the side of the road, as long as the cause of the flat isn't still in the tyre. Back in the day I "used" to be able to do a three minute patch-and-go, never taking the tyre or tube completely off. My fine motor skills have suffered since. :lol:

If you don't gamble you can't lose. One vice I'm happy never took with me, though I have played a few games of pool for money.

STEEKER 06-28-06 01:02 PM

getting married is a gamble ,, I just started to have problems with patchs two years ago no bleeping clue as to why but I think something is out to test me to see if i I break my word.

Shiznaz 06-28-06 01:03 PM

Pool is a skill game though... not really gambling if you know you're better than the other guy.

32flavours 06-28-06 01:10 PM

Bloop? I just dragged a bike travel case from Dufferin/Bloor back to my place in the Annex. So. Hot. Outside. Off to Edmonton tomorrow, back on Tuesday. Don't have TOO much fun without me.

P.S. Why is the bikeforums IRC channel set to invite only? Sniff.

TRaffic Jammer 06-28-06 01:18 PM

Steeker...need a refresher course on patching? Two years? Are you roughing up the tyre at all?

Then it's hustling and that can be more detrimental to one's health than gambling.

single speed folding bike.. might pick it up as a beater for the gf.. but $175 sounds a bit stiff... looks nice though.

Registrations: cash only please. Please note One-Day permit fees are $10 all categories. The entry fee for the Pro Performance Elite Series Whey Kool Bike Messenger Race includes the One-Day Permit fee.

Yeah that might have been fun, someone passed this along to The Messengers International today. We'd totally have a kick ass team (3boy/3girl) if they hadn't chosen 3-days b4hand to let people know. I can't commit to things 3 days away, neither could any of the fast riders at the mess, maybe it'll happen...but I'm not for sure I race in the "Whey" catagory

It might be an idea to split up the condiments for the BBQ at Somnambulent's. I'd offer to compile the list, but I'm not connected often enough. I can bring lettuce tomato and onion. Thoughts?

There's an almost new Dahon Boardwalk http://toronto.craigslist.org/bik/176049170.html or another older folder http://toronto.craigslist.org/bik/176437477.html. If you want contemporary and reliable, the Dahon's not a bad price.

If you decide to look at it, check the BB and headset and seatube for odd proprietary sizes. You can also run into problems if it has odd size tires. Citybikes.ca in has many sizes of wheels/tires if it's an odd size. They stock stuff for Moulton's etc. Many older folders have steel wheels (ie. heavy, poor braking characteristics) so if you wanted to go to a 406 20" (BMX) it may not work if the wheel size is odd (e.g. 16 or 17"). Similar with putting a contemporary brake on it. It appears to have a cottered crank which is fine if you want to leave it intact. In all, consider the cost if you wanted to put new parts on it. You could probably dump an old Sachs hub on if you wanted to make it a 3 speed for not too much.

Folders come up relatively often. Crazy posting prices are typical for Raleigh Twenties mostly. The less collectible ones are often cheaper (like the $60 in the second link above). I've seen similarly priced ones for about the same type of bike. My only suggestion would be to balance it's funky look with the ease of servicing or replacing parts, particular those that may have a safety consideration like brakes.
