Ok I’m going to pick up some new alloy rims. Online it says two different size rims. I’ve already bought the wrong size tyres which was very annoying😂 so does anybody know the right size rims that will fit straight onto this bike. I’m hoping this is an easy question. Thanks in advance

They are definitely not pretty but usable 😀

Front wheel has been removed and cleaned/re-greased. Awaiting the arrival of the new inner tube & tyres. Looking at the rim except for the surface rust it does look structurally sound which is good. I will look to replacing the rim for an alloy one in the future👍

Will do!

What’s the Benefits of alloy rims?

I would like to take it apart and do it properly so I appreciate the video! I will watch it and hopefully learn a thing or two. So if it’s just surface rust they will be usable for the time being.

Recently acquired a triumph traffic master! I have been eyeing up one of these small shopper bikes for a while now and was really glad when one appeared for sale locally on gumtree. After only a short ride around the block I have to say these bikes are extremely comfortable. It needs quite a bit...

Thankyou very much for the advise. I’m going to start with buying a bar with some rise and then go from there. Il make sure I get one that’s 25.4mm aswel. Yeah I’m really enjoying cleaning up the bike and putting my own twist on it! Like you say for £30 aswel it’s a great bike

Thanks for the offer but sadly I’m based down south but appreciate it! Il give the bar twisting a go though✌️

Like I said it just feels like you’re slightly leaning forward on it with my weight on my wrists. I’d just prefer it if it could be a bit more up right

I’ve been out on the bike at the weekend and I could do with the handlebars being higher. Have you got any stem/handle bar recommendations? I’ve been looking online but I thought I’d ask? Thanks

I’ve just ordered myself a pair of these thanks to your recommendation. I couldn’t believe how cheap they were. I’ve never heard of this company but the reviews online seem pretty good! How have you found them? Any issues? It’s also a great website! I can definitely see my self spending some...

After a bit of tinkering the bike fits much better thanks for all of the pointers! I’m after some tyres that will only be used for 40% road riding and 60% gravel. We’re not talking anything crazy! No jumps & no racing etc.. i just want a confidence inspiring tyre I can use comfortably on the...

Much appreciated! Il give all these little tips a try and see what works. My first challenge though is subtly bringing the bike into the lounge so I can work on it in the warm. Let’s see how that goes down with the other half, fingers crossed😂

After this photo was taken I raised the seat ever so slightly but I guess that wouldn’t affect my handle bar reach too much. I’ve had a search of these zero offset seat posts that you recommended and it makes complete sense as like you said this would enable me to reduce the stretch by a few cm...
