I wonder if anyone with experience of this can help me please? My bike basically works, the only problem is that the chain has stretched 1/8" and should be replaced. So I fitted a new SRAM 991 chain. All fine on the stand, but when I put my foot on the pedal to set off, the chain didn't engage...

I guess most of you have been aware of this for some time (although a quick search doesn't reveal any discussion), but I've discovered recently that the 9-speed 32t 104 BCD rings that are still available new do not fit onto XT and other cranks FC-M752 and earlier. i.e., the FC-M760 middle ring...

This is a bike that I built for my son several years ago when he was four feet ten. He always loved it and actually rode it until he was almost six feet, but more sensibly it will do anybody up to 5-6. I then sold it to a friend whose son was also around 5 feet and now he has outgrown it as...

I wonder if anybody else has experienced this? I bought a 2006 XT RD-M761 (normal rise) RM, off somebody on here as it happens, and fitted it to my new build. Indexing it on the smallest sprocket, as you do, it ran smoothly. Also in 8th. But in 7th it was hunting to go up to the 6th sprocket...

Spares or repair, so should be cheap, collection from Bridgwater http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Voodoo-18Spee ... 1113229867

Excellent film of the 1955 Belgian GP. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rAiKovUL8FM Suberb innocent atmosphere, grand prix cars fettled in the village before the mechanics drove them up to the circuit. Note the lack of any safety measures whatsoever. It was just the following weekend when a...

Apologies for this being after the event, but I thought it might be of interest to some http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/RETRO-ROCKY-M ... 0541679154 £139 posted seems quite a good price, especially as it's the small (16.5) size. I wonder if people on here bid it up to that level? Quite a decent...

one owner, could well be in good condition http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Orange-Clockw ... 1076645772

I think it's a size 19 from the look of it, but hard to tell (no such thing as the size 18 stated, so you ought to enquire if interested) http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/mountain-bike ... 1015781621

Looks in good original condition. Unusually, the quoted size of 18 is correct. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Kona-Explosif ... 1136140549

I had to give up on a club ride yesterday and walk three miles to a station because of a puncture and the tyre was too tight to come off the rim. In the end, even in my workshop, the only way I could get it off was with two levers, one anchored on a spoke and a steel Z2 steerer over the other...

I've got a retro phone at the moment, but I'm thinking of getting a Nokia Lumia 620 because it has the best reviews of any budget phone. The only drawback is the Windows Phone issue. I don't like Windows 8 on my laptop, so will I hate Windows Phone 8 too? No high-tech answers please. I don't...

Surely somebody wants to give him £69 for a nice rigid Erzulie? Just look at the colour! Size 17.25 http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/200927944161 There's also this Bantu, same size, not a bad bike for £50. But what about the saddle? Is that a Flite Titanium Marco Pantani special edition? I don't think...

Size 18.5, looks good condition. Should be cheap as collection-only from Cambridge and not many people know that the 96 and 97 Equipe frames were the same as the Blizzard, nor how to pronounce it (A-keep). http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Rocky-Mountai ... 0903544500

Which side of the trail do you ride if there's a rider coming towards you? The reason I ask is that there's a pavement/two-way cycle path outside Brighton where a female cyclist was killed last year after colliding with a cyclist coming the other way and being thrown onto the road into oncoming...

FC-M752 preferably, but I could go for an M750 or M751 if need be, 175mm. I'm not totally fussy about cosmetic perfection - anything will do me really, short of actual damage (but obviously the cosmetic state has a big impact on the value in eBayland). Thanks

This is a 1996 Obed with some decent kit sold for £330 posted. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/LITESPEED-OBE ... 1054809794 OK, the fork is crummy and that and the back-to-front seat post weren't doing it any favours looks-wise in this auction. And he would have done much better to split it. But...

I don't know whether this has been featured here already. Not long to go. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/190783217817

I think this might be a 96 or 97 Altitude, but I haven't seen one with quite the same dropouts. Shame about the paint. Even bigger shame about the decals. And the fm cable stops. And you'd think he'd say something about the condition of the Judy SL too. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/271133416302

I reaalise that Kleinistas are very snooty about Trek-built Kleins, and also the kit is low-rent, but even so this was surely worth £250? I think it's a 98 or 99 frame? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Mens-Mountain ... 0838240212
