At http://www.velominati.com/the-rules/ all I get is a strange comment about no comments matching my request.

A friend has just built a tourer. I need a lost of the rules he's broken (at least 7, I think).

Thanks

I also can't find them on there. I can't imagine they'd get rid of them.

Maybe the book publishers wanted them pulled from the site.

Thanks for the link.

Guess it's a glitch on The V.'s website. Well, I hope so. I did wonder when I saw ads for a book....

My colleague has a copy on his desk. I have a copy of the Chamonix Bike Book on mine. We are quite well covered I feel.

The only rule that matters is number 5 anyway.

Just post up a pic of your bike or ask a question about kit/new components etc and we'll tell you what the rules are, in fairly direct terms 🙂

Wow, how did we get so many rules?

Which reminds me, need to explain to LittleMissMC (aged 7) that half wheeling is not allowed!

Love the rules for a bit of a laugh.

Like my EPMS on the road bike for a lack of over stuffed pockets.

I got the hardback version as it's much better to shove up the arse of up tight roadies who complain about having a pump on the frame etc.

I once made the mistake of half wheeling Michael Hutchinson on a 100mile reliability ride, didn't know who he was at the time. It didn't end well.

What's half wheeling when it's at home?

speaking of Michael Hutchinson, I saw him on the cycle show and realized we should have had him on the lookalikes thread

That's not really half wheeling, that's overlapping wheels.

Half wheeling is when you are riding at the front of a group 2x2 and the guy next to you always has half a wheel in front of you rather than being level with you. It means you always feel like you need to catch him up and so the pace increases beyond what it should be. Generally half wheeling is done unknowingly and will be vehemently denied by the half wheeler.

Old boys seem very keen to beat you about the head with a frame pump if you do this to them!

I thought halfwheeling was being half a wheel infront of the person next to you, subconsciously the other person always feel they are trying to catch up to you.

did he rip your legs off? It takes two to get battered, the batterer needs a willing batteree, you could have eased off and let him go, you only have yourself to blame.
