How much do you need, and colour pref?

The 2 notch tool came from the days you'd take your freewheel off every few months and grease the threads. The maintenance-free brigade all rode sturmey😉

For ugly but effective braking, fit a disc front fork and disc setup Then a standard v brake with an avid travel agent on the back. You will be able to lock both wheels up in almost all situations, and have plenty of clearance. But if you want pretty, then live with the performance of shimano...

You should also bolt the tool in with the wheel nut if you have enough axle. Sometimes I will move the axle across in the wheel so this can be done. QR is usually easier because you can just use a longer qr, like mtb. 2dog removers are horribly unreliable, and easily damage the extraction...

A happy ending😍

Wrap the chain round the large freewheel sprocket. If it fits, it's ok. Big ring teeth should be ok. Trouser guard only necessary if you wear flares and no socks. If you do, there's a warm welcome awaiting in the BMX section😉

It's under 2km home from the local😃 But I can get there in under 3 minutes😃

Bats do echolocation Ants do public sanitation and allotments, But the slinky?... Nature got there first😄 https://www.drool.pet/blogs/the-weird/divers-just-found-a-giant-natural-slinky?srsltid=AfmBOoqyDPJpCLxeLG-c61hyjOwe2paLQtmm8r7Jx6T3ti_m81fyF0eE

Cassettes, especially the multi geared ones, wear a lot faster than an old 5 speed freewheel Those old fw teeth are so thick, and lacking any cutouts for indexing, they can almost last for ever. Certainly many, many chains. Their main problems aren't wear by the chain, but lack of...

Found this in a box of knick-knacks at my mums. I would assume its the last surviving piece of a bike😪 Cycles Charles Longoni Presenting me with a suitable rabbit hole to go down... https://www.sterba-bike.cz/item/longoni-racing-bike-1940s/category/sports-bicycles-archive? Bien Charmant!

Is your derailleur compatible with both the chainring size and spacing and the shift lever model? Mismatched or worn out components are the most common cause of poor front shifting - even the wrong chainring (from the same groupset even) can ruin it, but it could be a bent or worn cage, damaged...

I'll pm you👍

Here it is, from the more famous angle

Anything that gets me out on a bike is a good thing😃 Also after riding up a mountain is always good to have a reason to take a photograph. Unusual that it's of a railway🤣 they are usually located at the bottom of the hill

"Snowdon" is the same name, but in English. The Sierra nevada, basically also.

In the background, Working since 1895😍

9mm hole implies front wheel to fit smoothly over the axle, act as a guide?

Awful name😪 Most modern frame developments are for carbon fibre not steel, so once you build it up with internal cables, tapered fork, aero seatpost, through axles, flat-mount disc tabs, push-fit or os bb, it's starting to look a bit odd, but costing quite a bit more to make than a traditional...

Tbf Rx100 isn't "low" quality, it's functional and unfussy. 7sp fhb iirc
