    Replacing an old freewheel. What's the usual way to go about it?

    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...

    Index front shifters GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!

    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...

    Bikes and trains

    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

    Lightest Steel Frame?

    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...

    Carbon repairers? Advice

    I don't see that it's under stress at that point? In reality, damaged carbon is worthless but potentially usable - you could just fill it, smooth it off and then monitor closely - professionally speaking it's a write-off because the structure of the material is too hard to determine. But...
