i have two (2) - one dated manufacture spring 2020, the other fall 2019. the '20 gel cushion has opened in one place, prompting me to investigate their mfg dates. i can buy aftermarket cushions on Big A. Q: is it time to toss the helmets & get new? neither have been crashed, but i've also...

that's the driving force behind this endeavor. i'm in my 70 S too, so if i can squeeze a couple more years riding = good for me. appreciate the clarification; i tend to operate in a vacuum. will be back with more ??? before anyone wants i'll dig through the specifications now that you've...

the thrust of changing wheels is two-fold. stock rims are un-hooked. 27" size is somewhat a challenge to fit with tires. yes; they are there and i was able to get Pasela gum walls, but it was more of an ordeal than i need in my life. perhaps both non-issues in the big picture, but i choose to...

i don't have a camera, but don't understand what a picture would tell the numbers don't. brakes are centerpull "Raleigh" labeled but look diacompe to me.

if you only knew what i went through sizing tires . . . how big is a 700s wheel/ tire (inch measurements) and 28 would correspond to an 1 1/8" width? the front (existing brake arms) have a bit more down travel available, but the the rears are maxed out now. i would not mind an unmatched set...

Raleigh 1983 Record Special mixte. starting down the rabbit hole. existing factory steel rims have no hooks for tire wire. if i am changing rims, i want to go aluminum and a size smaller for the addition of fenders. i will need long reach brakes. back wheel is now solid axle; want to change to...

years ago (around 2010ish)i would read each magazine cover to cover. at on point i even had all the back issues. in the past 5 or 6 years, i read maybe 10 pages and then give the magazine to my barber for his table of old Newsweek, Atlantic Monthly, and Popular Science for guys to thumb through...

i thought that on round one; How many hours were spent compiling this information? it really shows the thoroughness of your research. now . . . . get back to work - we've got a deadline to meet!

Thank You Heiko for the article I, & part II in the summer issue #88 most EXCELLENT. just got my copy 2 days ago and i could not put it down until i had gone through the article. fantastic to have such a resource available to the common man. thanks again & best regards, sid

i cannot vouch for the accuracy of this website, but perhaps helpful to some: https://bikeboompeugeot.com/Serial%20Numbers%20and%20Dates/Serial%20Numbers%20and%20Dates.htm

that's a pretty snazzy ride

oh. that's bad, huh? seriously - thank you. sid

thanks for the information & chuckle. i get most of what you explained but don't know about these alleged "blocks" of which you speak: "...as long as there's (630-622/2) 4mm drop available on the blocks." space between the top & bottom of the rim hook to capture the tyre wire? in my defense, i...

i agree; kind of got some bad vibrations when working on them. since this is not going to be my daily driver bike, i'm probably going to swap them out and at the same time turn the rear axle into a skewered/ quick release (solid w/ nuts now). as this goes together, it will only be a 3-5 mile...

combined with my overzealousness to get the tyres & tubes switched over, i think this is where i zigged when i should have zagged. the Araya rims are of the hookless variety, and i was evidently less observant than i should have been. i inflated the tubes/ types to about 55#, bounced them...

well . . . you fellows must be clairvoyant. my first tube/ tire swap came with a similar bang. when it got to 80# (sidewall indicates required 95#) i noticed the tire bead becoming exposed more than usual. as i began to unscrew the pump head, i thought i heard a hiss and then POW! tube split...

aww jeez . . . . are the tube i ordered NOT going to work . . . . ps: i just ordered (2 + spare) the SV16 tubes w/ 40 presta from the Big A; so i can send them back if it's a problem. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0043Q1D1W?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title&th=1&psc=1 i'm ready to take up knitting!

thanks. the second bike (years back) i ever worked on was a Peugeot and why didn't anyone ever tell me sizes would be different??? but i'm plugging away; appreciate the help & link. sid

if this tube is 27.5, how does it get rated 630? the box indicates 28" - and is only adding to my confusion. i am assuming it does Not have the weight of the "marathon" line of puncture resistant tubes - which are heavier than i need. thanks ps: i just ordered (2 + spare) the SV16 tubes w/...

kind of sort of; by my word the range of sizes completely baffles me.
