    Roy Thame, 531c Frame, new project.

    thread some string in through the front hole and use a vacuum on the rear hole. If you can seal it up good the string will get sucked through. When it is through tie/tape/glue the inner cable to the string and pull it through the tube. Then run the inner into the outer and feed the outer...

    So what do you think about this 3iAtlas comet behaving weirdly in our Solar System?

    We live in an age where even us mere mortals can build agile robots and combined with artificial intelligence we could fire a bunch of them off into space on a really long mission. Going out into space is about collecting information and studying things and we don't need humans for that. We...

    Some Retrobikes passing through Bikeworkshop in Bristol

    I spent a lot of time in Bristol on and off through the 90's. First girlfriend lived there (originally a Clifton lass) and moved about so i got to see all the truly wonderful areas where students typically lived. There and Preston when she was studying. I liked Brizzle back then, but not sure i...

    Motorola Eddy Merckx Corsa Extra SLX 1994

    I have known so many people who will spend several hours riding their bike , on big rides, and go out for shorter rides in between, or commute, but wont spend a few minutes each day doing some really simple stretching exercises. Tbh you don't evn need to do them every day once you get flexible...

    Recommend me some brakes

    I think there are 4 lengths of mini V arm available. I cant remember who makes what, or did make what. A bit of a pain, and not cheap, but it might be possible to get the perfect match of arm and lever as lever ratios do vary.

    Recommend me some brakes

    It doesn't look great and is not ideal, but i think if there was an issue then we would know about it. Travel Agents and copies have been around a long time now, and lord knows how many are being used, so if there was a problem then Problem Solvers would be deep in the do-do , by now. I am...

    Merlin MTB frame

    @DalryBikeDepot - i could be interested in the Coyote, but i think it is too short. You say the top tube measurement is 54cm between the seat tube and head tube. Do you literally mean between the tubes, or do you mean center to center? Also; what is the head tube length?

    Innovations that weren't...

    I am sure this was all blown well out of proportion though, by haters. My understanding was there was an issue, very early on with the aluminium frames, where a small number of frames cracked. Might have been one batch and I think it was a heat treatment post welding, or something not right with...

    Recommend me some brakes

    I have a bunch of canti's in boxes and bags that i have used. 2 bikes worth of Frogglegs in blue and black, a set of M900 with an extra front pair, M650's, and a set of Avid Shorty Ultimate and i can honestly say that they were all about the same as each other. All used with the same BXP pads ...

    I have a Pace rocker somewhere. I can't remember why i got it , but it looks cool and i like the fact that each arm takes a barrel. Maybe that is why i got it and although i have never broken a stainless brake cable the straddle cable wouldn't send me over the bars, if i did. Will i use...

    Does anyone here build wheels?

    the good thing about wheels is you can do all sorts of wrong and yet the wheel will not kill you as long as the spokes are taught enough so it doesn't wobble too much, or collapse, immediately. Better built wheels last longer ,before needing some help, but not so well built can last well. I...
