So you could save your hoses👍 What's the benefit 105 over ultegra?

Loads of livelihoods and homes ruined, but nobody drowned. The river got over the flood defences half way up the high Street, rushed through town, then got trapped into a deep lake by the flood defences at the bottom of the high St. 🤔Looks to me like the planners thought the floodwater would...

I've got a pair of these, serviced once in 20 years. Ridden loads. I had to top up the air pressure yesterday, it had dropped from 120 to 100psi since last pumped, in 2024😃 Having said that, it's a strong price. A vgc used pair (which might actually be more reliable from having had some...

Most hydros are internal routing, requiring the hoses cut to remove. Watch out too for faulty items (calipervpistons stuck is most common) There aren't many reasons to take these off a bike, but this is one!

Do you know the length of the 20mm spacers, and the outside width at the bearing end? I've got a drawer full because the hubs used to come to us with all the spacers, but the customer only wanted one! Trouble is, the various hope hubs have different ones!

I've had a few saracen road/tour bikes through the shop, but rare now. An occasional repair. Lugged construction - someone could possibly name the builder? It looks like the brand tried to expand its range in the mid/late 80s, before they lost their way in the 90s race-to-the-bottom, holding...

Give me a Slipped Disc Any time!😬

You need to swap the washers round on the pads. There's a thick one and a thin one. The arms should be near vertical when they touch the rims. There's occasionally an issue with narrow boss spacing and wide Rims. Always surmountable. If you're still struggling, send a photo of the cable...

Details back here Bob on the blue framed beast.

So here's airnimal#2, to accompany my free bus pass. Airnimal#1 was too bent I've had a lot of folders pass through stock over the years, including the better riding riese&muller, airnimal, bike Friday, plus endless bromptons, tern, dahon, bickerton in several eras, strida, Cresswell... And...

Rode through my flooded Town😪 to see what was open. (News photo from yesterday) The greengrocer was delighted to have a customer, the only shop open on that side of the street, helped by no stock near the ground, a concrete floor and a killer work ethic. The car park by the playing fields...

Our poor little town, almost all the shops we use have been flooded. The fortified Bridge we were on a couple of weeks ago Was almost the only dry land! Given the water got up to the parapet, and it's 700 years old, we are lucky it survived. 😢

Sadly humanity's effect will probably take out 99% of species. That's a lot of evolution. Luckily for the rats and cockroaches, who will be riding all those Raleigh Mustangs way into the future!

Surely a triathlete only has a brake to comply with the rules? I'm always surprised they were so quick to adopt discs, but then as tt/tri courses are usually flat, the weight isn't that important, and the airflow at the hub is potentially less chaotic, so maybe disc brakes can be an overall...

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...

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.

Looks good too. People often criticise swytch for the limited range, but it's not for touring, and if you wanted to go further...just buy another battery.

Warm it up and close it up again. Often happens with nutted axles on these older thin plate Dropouts.

No probs paul, I've been working too so a lightning response was not always possible.
