I picked up my finished wheel from the bike shop today!
Which means I now officially have a fixed gear wheel, with which I’m going to convert my bike to fixed gear some time this week.

It was all very exciting today, he only charged me £13 which is much less than I expected, and he spent about 5 minutes trying to find a 3/32 sprocket which had a few more than 12 teeth, I wanted to go with 14 but he didn’t have any and 12 is a little too high a gear for me at the moment.

He eventually found a 15 tooth sprocket which he gave to me as a gift due to lacking a selection of parts…

I recommend Bob’s shop to anyone around Leicester, he really knows what he’s doing and is just brilliant.

As for myself, I can’t wait to get it fitted to the bike and take her for a spin.

On Saturday thanks to drunk people being complete and utter assholes, I managed to get stuck in the lift.

There was a party in the building on Friday, with a lot of drunk people, one of which kicked the control panel of the lift in question hard enough to leave it dangling there.

Naturally as someone without common sense I decided to take the lift whilst thinking “Some poor basard is going to get stuck in here when it falls off”.

So of course it dropped off and after getting the attention of my fellow students, the alarm did not work (as expected), I waited about 45 minutes for the fire brigade to arrive and release me.

Excellent day, oh and film processing prices are getting ridiculous: I paid £16 for two 36 frame rolls of colour film to be processed and printed.

We were fucking around in the corridor one day, and some friends of mine decided to have a quick lightsaber battle, sadly I only managed to catch about 12s of video, which really rather annoys me.

Oh and they look like midgets because I had my camera in portrait rather than landscape format, then had to rotate the video which was then in turn squashed by youtube, anyway enjoy:
