Schwalbe say they will do tyre recycling, but atm it's all done by Velorim in the uk. Costs about £100 for 4 bags you can perhaps get 25 tyres in each of they aren't too huge. Tube recycling you have to make an 18kg box and get a free label to drop off with UPS. No Slime!

We get the odd hippy wanting Tubes to knit a basket, belt or slightly irritating jewellery, and the occasional horticulturist wanting to support fruit tree saplings, but given we produce 10kg of tubes a week, it's barely a scratch. Atm schwalbe offer free tube recycling, as long as we pack...

I know exactly what you mean. Is the chain tension rotating the whole derailleur forward so the b- screw is no longer touching the steel plate? Also, the chain tension can overcome the spring tension Alternately, is the tab on the plate correctly in contact with the derailleur hanger "stop"?

Fifty pound??? Let us hark back to the cheapskate bartape of using an old innertube🤯 Ideally with a couple of orange patches in the weave. Cheap bar tape and tube recycling covered in one easy move🤣

Lucky this Mirage is exactly that! Any relationship to campagnolo componentry is entirely imagined. Good old shimano And RSX, what a groupset! Shame this bike lacks the STIs, and iirc one or 2 of the chain rings were made of 100% unavailabilium🙄

Thanks - some of those "facts" are plucked straight from the air though😁) Soft, grippy, flexible rubber is likely to wear faster than that hard shiny stuff. But 2many's experience of the knobs breaking off seems odd. We don't sell that many knobblies, mostly schwalbe or conti for the deliveroo...

Cinelli cork bar tape, still £12😃 And they invented it. I think tyre quality has increased massively since we used to think a Michelin world tour was a good tyre😉 And the demand for light weight can mean that 1000 miles is beyond usable range!

Nowdays ithink all tyre suppliers have to pay to recycle. Uk creates 700,000 tons per annum! If we rate cycling at 2% of journeys and tyre weight at 5%, then cycle tyres represent 1/1000 overall, but harder to recycle.

Is that the 1" head tube? It's very similar to mine with that exception, and bizarrely mine is a T, so earlier🤔

Mainstream consumer culture is a one-way flow. Resources dug out of the ground Shipped to refinery To Asian Manufacturer Then Assembly factory shipped to consumer nation sold to the punter half-used item then binned and buried back in the ground. 🙄 The abandonment of reusing glass bottles...

And what's wrong with campagnolo? I mean, gentlemen of a certain age... They usually have a couple of glossy catalogues under the bed...

We send our tyres for recycling It works out costing about a pound a time. You get ones with good tread where the bead has failed due to low pressure riding or poor fitting technique, and huge glass cuts cutting the casing, but id say its about 10%. 90% are baldy. If a customer wants new tyres...

What's wrong with a mirage?

Is that regent 93?

Those little grey spring covers on the cantis will probably break once you start using it though😪

Deffo Would've been rsx to match the chainset etc imo

This is already pretty presentable as a funky town bike- I can definitely find it a loving new owner...

I thought that at first but could find no evidence beyond the 4- digit frame number. 🤔 The catalogue model inb the 94 catalogue looks a perfect match - although they might have changed nothing for 5 years of production, but that's very unusual. What's your evidence?

Avoiding the motorways. Carry gaffer tape, baler twine, cable ties, plumbing repair tape, wd40, a load of cash, food, drink, maybe balaclava and a gallon of 4star for emergencies?
