Sounds perfect but his course starts the next day so probably won’t work out. Thanks for the reply though! T..

The rim is sort of OK but there are numerous loose and bent spokes and I’m not up to truing it myself if I could work out what length of replacement spokes I needed. I have dropped it at our local shop but I’m not expecting an as-new wheel back! It’s had a hard life so far. T..

My son came home a couple of weeks ago saying there was something wrong with his bike. He’d managed to bend the mech hanger and the mech had taken out three spokes on the back wheel. Hoping someone might have a 26” rear wheel suitable for a disc brake they no longer need? The front one...

Thanks, folks! Maybe I’ll look for something 11spd instead. Would be a shame if I didn’t have the clearance. Thanks again!

Afternoon all. I’m wondering if I can breathe a little life into my favourite bike by replacing the drivetrain with something totally modern. Does anyone know if the new giant cassettes will fit on a nine speed free hub found on my old wheels or has everything moved on more than that? I’m...

Bought a very bright brand new pair of running shoes from Glyn. Arrived in good time, perfectly packaged and exactly as described. Thanks!

Great news! I'll PM you my address. Cheers, T..

Bump! Hoping this will be useful to someone!

Nice Campagnolo chainset is exactly what I needed at a great price and held onto it while my life got in the way of fiddling with bikes. Thanks, Dan!

Hi all. Someone had put spacers on the bottom bracket when I bought the bike and then tightened up the securing bolt enough that the non-drove side crank splines have been damaged. Because of this the crank comes loose and never tightens up fully in the first place. I think the current set are...

Hi all, finally given in with the Truvativ chainset I got on my Kona and hoping someone can get me back on the road before the sun stops shining. I’m after a nine speed triple chainset that’s not too worn out, please. Not too worried about the axle type as long as bottom brackets are readily...

Is it just the right hand you’re after? Pretty sure I have a single XT one that will do 9 speed on friction, 7 or 8 on index. Not home till the weekend to check though. It had a non-standard bolt and was a bit worn, so would be cheap. T..

Hi there. Would you consider selling just the black lever blade? I’ve been after one for a while! I really don’t need any more spares though. Cheers, T..

Hi there. It’s designed for 26” wheels. May fit others being disc only though. Head tube is straight for 1 1/8” steerers. Thanks for looking! T..

Trying to clear some room in the shed and this has been lurking at the back for several years. I bought the frame new from HSW in West Drayton in 1996. It is made from Fuji Stoutlite tubing apparently. Has a lovely ping and was a terrific ride for years. Some corrosion around the top of the...
