Re: New Bike Gear Out And Due Out...

I dunno - since going singlespeed it has crossed my mind that having some kind of 2 speed high and low range (concealed cunningly in the BB so people don't realise you are a wuss) would actually be very good - will still have a low maintenance drivetrain, no dangly thing and a nice light back end. ...

Re: E Thirteen front wheel

What size is the rim? Is it tubeless?
I could do with a commuting wheel until I sort out my dynamo hub with knackered bearings.

Re: Which quality chainring bolts and threadlock?

A warning: I used some medium strength threadlock on some chainring bolts (I had the medium strength stuff to hand). When I tried to take them off I discovered that the thread on the bolts is wide - with a large surface area and lots of leverage - and the hex key slot in the middle is small with mu...

Re: Moors One Hundred DATE CHANGE ON P3

Thank you for the advice and the GPX everyone.
I'll be setting out in 20 minutes and bringing up the rear on a black gravel bike.

Re: Moors One Hundred DATE CHANGE ON P3

Ouch. So I assumed from the email that I and others could view the course but no, as K1100T says, Komoot demands money! Sorry, I should have checked.

Dawes Audax Supreme F&F

I don't know if this will be of interest to anyone here. Dawes Audax Supreme, 631 steel, rim brakes. I'm not sure what the official size is but the seat tube is ~ 57cm and the top tube ~ 58cm. It would be easiest to post the frame and fork (including headset, seatclamp and HT II BB). I've already ro...

Re: Bargain Alert Thread

I think this is decent deal but could be wrong. CRC are selling off Exposure dynamo hubs in QR15 form for £90 (with code). I hope that this is a rebadge of the 15mm axle version of the Shutter Precision hub.
