    Today's Ride

    Poor monmouth, my home town, is under water, and half the shops have been trashed by flooding, but my colleagues and I went to the mendips and rode around on mountain bikes, it was dry-in places. Minty was the only classic piece really. My choice of footwear was... Incompatible. Some...

    Wheelbuilders' thoughts...

    This design though is to enable allow a sealed rim channel for early tubeless. The spokes hook into the rim box and cross to the opposite flange of the hub. It has the same flaws as the grouped spoke standard rim but at least offers weight strength and a superior tubeless function.

    Saxon Twin Tube

    Early one before CB takeover. I sold a later full bike in great condition festooned with tasty period parts for a disappointing £1200 last year. The frameset should be worth 600, but most prices are down 40%

    But the glass was outside the car, not inside? Implies it wasn't smashed in - might have been a failure - our transit did that.
