That guy is the epitome of cool, even wearing a Casio before they were cool (again)

There’s something that really confuses me in this ad. Why, on the front brake, is the little cylindrical stopper on the cantilever cable popping out about 15mm from the actual brake arm? How is the left side cantilever not springing out? Is it some sort of little pull to release the cantilever to take the tyre out and I just can’t see the other stopper?

Yes, it is a handle to pull the nipple out that sits in the brake arm to release it as you say, to take the wheel out.

Now we're talking!!!

This advert helped convince me I needed Campagnolo Centaur on my MBK Hi-Tech Ranger as they mentioned Team MBK in the small print along the bottom... Bike was stolen before I managed to fully swap out Mountain LX for Centaur...

THANKS FOR POSTING!

This one from Cannondale really made an impression on much-younger me.

Great protection for a massive off-width crack maybe?

Amazing how narrow those bars are compared to the handlebars on modern MTB’s
