DodgySam Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 there will be plenty of cycle building going on track side. I have to bolt on an exhaust and Pete has to rebuild his rear hub. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DodgySam Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 Well that was entertaining. EVERYONE broke down and the cops were called on us again. We are still bulletproof as the police reckoned we werent/arent doing anything wrong and as long as we are wearing helmets/being safe (pah), not drinking alcohol (bahahahahahahahahahahahahh) and courteous to other users then there is nothing we are doing wrong. Badgers...bulletproof since 2012! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Llama Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 Hahaha awww missed the cops. There were a few people watching from the other side of the drome too, it was quite entertaining. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Llama Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 Pictures! First off the mark was the flying dutchman However he didn't quite make it around the steep corner, hence the slightly bemused fellas in the background Then after the chillybin got some serious wheel wobble and snapped a chain, there was another contender out for a run "Oi giz helmet" "Here's the rocket booster, only use this if the cops show ok?" Here comes noisy MKII after the exhaust arrived The motion blur is just a camera effect, it didn't actually go that fast Crazy ex-outboard powered velo. Unsure if it actually went though One mighty steed relieving itself Action shot Action shot 2 Unsure if this one made it out in the end either Picnic time guiz! "Fuuu where did that chain go" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sentra Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 looking good guys, drank waaaaaay too much rum last night to go near the drome today 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R100 Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 Not to sound like a stick in the mud but you guys have it pretty sweet being able to use that track. Eventually the cops will say no and start handing out fines if they keep getting called out there. I believe the issue is the noise. I think start investing in some mufflers to ensure hassel free usage of the track. Not many places in auckland where you can ride around a circular track like that for free. I for one am going to build a veloracer. I hope to use the velodrome aswell. Just my 2 cents. Was great to see all the bikes out there on saturday. Looking forward to building something myself and joining in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steelies Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 lookin good boys, shame the one-time is on your case. guess we're lucky our drome is in a low key spot. we'd better start branching into the grass track and drag series Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
73crownwagon Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 Managed to throw my chain today going for a ride. Wheres a good place to get some thicker more ridged chain that's still the same tooth spacing as a bicycle? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sentra Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 you can use 1/2" pitch chain from saeco, or if your still working out south then maud kirk, it fits on bicycle sprockets / is wide as heck / looks cool just make sure you get american/"ansi40" chain, the rollers are smaller than british, (i.e. if you use american chain, you can use whatever sprockets that are availiable/cheap/mishmash sprockets) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peteretep Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 the police were called only because some people werent sure if we were allowed there, it wasnt the noise or danger if anyone finds a brass needle at the the drome, can you please give it to me, that would be great Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
