Let me know and I can make a donation

Cheers Stuart
I've had a hunt, and theres 2 cassettes, 1 chain and a couple of Tiagra short cage rear mechs (only 1 jockey wheel between them though) if they're any use? Also an XT front mech.

Free - 9 speed bits + more

Does anyone have a use for some 9 speed cassettes, possibly shifters, chainrings and chains? I was looking for something else and found a few .... Yours for the cost of postage plus a few quid to feed the bear ... Also found some barely used (maybe only fitted) cyclo-cross cantis, and various well u...

Omega radius ti road bike

20230705_185021.jpg Having broken my commuter/gravel bike I've now bought a London Road from planet x. It's more road biassed than the previous one, and I've not used my road bike for ages anyway so I think it's time to sell. Omega Radius 3al 2.5v titanium frame - something like an XL size, I can g...

I agree - I am the first owner but have used it to commute and other bits on for at least 5 years.... And it's a fairly light cyclo-cross race frame which I've definitely abused & enjoyed, my route home from work takes in one of the rother valley DH tracks (very tame, but still) and plenty of ro...

Re: What you done t' your bike today

Sadly, what I've done to my bike today is find several cracks in it ☹️ Had a mystery creak that I couldn't get rid of, so gave the bike a good clean before planning on a strip/clean/regrease of the BB area. Unfortunately, spotted a little crack on the chainstay... Didn't look too bad, so rode it to ...

Relatively short, lightly hilly but momentous ride today. My wife has just got out of a crappy, overly stressful job which combined with a damaged rotator cuff & nerves has made her pretty sedentary for the last 2 years. Bought her a swytch ebike kit earlier in the year, and today was our first ...

Re: What other sports/fitness/exercise do you do?

Extra energy used is the same as the work done against gravity, so m.g.h, which would be about 22,000J or 22kJ or 6kCal... Obviously, the body isn't totally efficient, and you also need the muscular energy to grip them and move, but sadly it's not a lot! sorry for the nerdiness... Now, if you includ...

Re: What other sports/fitness/exercise do you do?

Depending where you live, fell running can be great as it's the same outdoors bit, and needs minimal extra equipment compared to bike riding - pretty much a pair of shoes.

Otherwise, if you are married/cohabiting then is there something new and outdoors to do together?

Well, exactly... Kind of thought I was bidding for 4 boxes of 4 cans, so put a tenner plus VAT and fees as a bid... Turned out one lot was 4 boxes of 12 and the other was 60 cans! Seeing as the whole lost cost me £30 all in I'm pretty happy!
