Wanted: Pie Plate

petethedrummer · 09-09-2010 11:15pm #1

Looking for a large pie plate if anyone has one to spare. Must fit on a Giant bicycle.

Thanks in advance.

I have one. You might need to drill it to use it on a the Giant. Pic attached

I know its friday, but there's no need to spoil my thread.

Anyways. Pie plate must be shimano compatible. NOT CAMPY.

Thanks.

I can punch you in the head instead if you prefer?

Some really large ones here, offering 100% spoke protection.

I cut one off with a snips recently. I was going to take off the cassette and remove it properly but someone (cough - Raam) said not to bother.

Shame, I would have given you good money for it.

hmmm, thats a bit big for my needs but i suppose I could buy one and cut it down to size. Has anyone got any experience of this? or is it something I should get the LBS to do?

Have to ask, why do you want one?

petethedrummer · 10-09-2010 10:00am

To protect my spokes.

Mine was Shimano compatible too. 10 speed only. They're the most valuable ones you know.

Still looking. Must be fixie compatible as I want to be able to swap it from bike to bike.

I have one that came with my MTB, may not be suitable but it's yours if you want it.

I am a big spa

What colour is it?

Its a pie plate thats compatible with a fixie. I presume these exist cos I was in Berlin and saw a fixie with a pie plate and thought it looked cool. So i want to be able to use the pie plate with my road bike and a fixie. I'm gonna build a fixie. Starting with a good pie plate and building from there.

But what is the purpose of a pie plate on a fixie?

(and "looking cool" doesn't count, for several obvious reasons)

What would a pie plate on a fixed gear bike be protecting the spokes from? Ah, right, it's Friday.

If you don't know, then I'm not telling you. Noobs.:rolleyes:

Stops your spoke cards from dropping into the cog?
