Evening all, I'm after a new wheelset for my commuter, nothing fancy but would prefer new so I'm not having to buy again in 6 months time. If you have anything let me know. Cheers

Re: For anyone following this thread I purchased the frame from Chris last month. This is my first full suspension bike and have basically built it up with bits I had lying around as i'm only using it to try tire the dog out but may add to it in the future. Had her inaugural voyage this morning:

Images don't seem to be showing for me?

Morning all, I've just taken the bottom bracket out of a bike I picked up a few months back as the spindle length is too long and the (plastic) cup/lockring? has a hairline crack running perpendicular to the thread. Is it possible to get just the replacement cups from anywhere as the BB is fine...

Couple of weeks ago my chain started slipping from a standing start. I had a feeling it could be the chainrings as they were looking a bit ropey so have just swapped them over (as you can probably tell from the shiney rings and oily bike) but you can still see air between the chain and ring...

Evening all, I've got a set of shimano 600 downtime shifters (8 speed) on one of my bikes, all the gearing was fine until SWSNBN knocked the bike over and it seemed to have trouble going up on the top cog. Just taken the cable off and the indexing in the shifters seems to have changed. Gear...
