Re: Proper clearout - get your crap here!

What wheel size are the Reba SLs for? Could do with some QR forks for my wife's bike as the suntour ones on it are like a lead filled pogo stick!

Re: Todays ride

Just a short ride today, 7am start from the holiday cottage while the rest of the family were in their beds. I'd done a ride yesterday which started on some interesting off road bits, but my mudguards were making a racket so I'd moved to tarmac. Took them off last night, and put all the riding gear ...

Re: What you done t' your bike today

Fitted some mudguards to my new London Road on Sunday... Turned out that they were a touch too wide for the fork, so fitted the old fork/front wheel/front brake from my previous bike. All reasonably good, and kept me less soaked for 50+ mies in Sunday evening's downpour. Rattly and clanging thought....

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.

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...

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 ...

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?
