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: WTD: 29 x 3" tyre
Would a 2.8 Coronado do? About to advertise a pair of them.

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....

Re: Free - 9 speed bits + more
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...

Seems a pretty odd one, I agree... I just entered all the competitions on the sky app without looking too closely when I was waiting for my son, and obviously won this one...

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?
