I've some 175mm cx50 cranks with 36-46 rings if they're any interest? I think they're 105 level?

Would you be interested in a rolling chassis type of setup? Thinking of selling my large fatty trail, with rigid forks, wheels, tyres and chainset.

No idea how many they have, but Polaris are selling some briko kids helmets for a fiver each..

Excellent thread resurrection! I'm hoping to do some of the things I'd planned for 2020, but who knows! If I can fit enough hill running into the spring, then a Bob Graham round in June is high on the list - either solo or with one or 2 other fools. Taking my kids (either together or one at a time) ...

Oooh, Kwak... Like central heating in a bottle, that stuff! Lovely, but makes me feel all warm and sleep after about half a glass. Coffee with Suntory whiskey in it for me this evening - not much of a fan of it on its own, but it's delicious in coffee or a hot toddy. And makes me think of Bill Murra...

Sadly not - I took them off the cranks to go 1x10

I've got a set of deore 24-38 4 bolt rings if you need them?

Does it have to be a MTB crankset? I've a 36-46 CX double

Cheap ones, but with a blob of silicone sealant or hot glue over any points where a rattle could occur works well for me. I've had SKS in the past and they were fine, but I don't think there was much noticeable improvement over the current "cheap from planet-x" ones

Currently got the ability to braze, MIG, TIG & stick weld steel but nothing great for aluminium. Now you've got me confused :wink: Ta for the feedback, might buy myself a few rods and have a play. Only scratch start TIG from a basic set sadly, but it's great... give it a go... It teaches the kids t...

They do look nice though. Have you used them at all? Looks more like silver soldering to me?

If they are reasonably user friendly then it would be something I'd play with at school. Currently got the ability to braze, MIG, TIG & stick weld steel but nothing great for aluminium.

3rd day in a row out in the slop on the recently re-built singlespeed. Very unfashionable - 26" wheels, 2" tyres, QR axles, 160mm rotors - but great. I forgot how nice old steel frames feel, and also how low maintenance a singlespeed setup is. Re the spec: Still managed to ride it OK? Didn't spin o...

I forgot how nice old steel frames feel, and also how low maintenance a singlespeed setup is. Slippery downhill through the woods and a long spin back...

Just re-built an old frame of mine as a singlespeed yesterday, and took it out for a first ride last night. Despite being on 36-16 it was great, I think I'll stick with the bike but maybe drop down a few teeth. Got some big silly ritchey bars which I bought from you on there ton. What 9 speed bits d...

Yes please, I'll message you shortly

Depends what you define as a write off really. Riding my bike locally, running quiet high moorland trails on my own, spending time with my family. Enjoying the few local orienteering races that happen and not being so tired that I can't race. No, not a write off at all. It's not a glass half empty/...

This is a pretty amazing light - seriously bright. 600 lumens, USB rechargeable. Good company, not dangerous stuff from the far east. Only £25 https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Moon-Vortex-Front-Light-In-Black/124372936851?hash=item1cf5346893:g:fIcAAOSw0uRffzKt Or the 800 lumen version for £40 https://www...

Might want these, but I've a few questions...
How long is the steerer?
Are they boost or normal?
Which year?

Ta!

Patagonia nano-puff works well for me in that kind of manner.

I've just ordered a few bags of coffee from paddy & Scott's, and they came with some free trial coffee bags. I'll give them a go next time I'm out and report back... Someone at work brought a load of those Taylor's ones in for the staffroom and I agree with the previous comments about too little gro...

I've not seen them in stock anywhere recently (but I've not really looked) but I'm very happy with Terrene Elwood 700x40 in the "tough" casing. Pretty speedy on the road or smooth gravel, and plenty of grip until things get muddy.

If Mike changes his mind, can I buy it please?

A 24" islabikes carbon hubbed front wheel to go on the tiny Kona hula I'm doing up for my daughter.

Some 152mm cranks and bright orange BMX pedals, also for the above Kona.

If you're anywhere near Sheffield, I've a pair of smallish karrimor (from before they became sports direct poor show) paniers you can borrow
