    Wanted shimano 3x9 front derailleur

    What size chainrings? And what's wrong with the current one? Front derailleurs often seize from the filth chucked off the road, but will free up with attention.😃 Grooves worn from constant chain rub is a different matter. ☹

    Bikes and Bridges

    Loads of livelihoods and homes ruined, but nobody drowned. The river got over the flood defences half way up the high Street, rushed through town, then got trapped into a deep lake by the flood defences at the bottom of the high St. 🤔Looks to me like the planners thought the floodwater would...

    NOS Rockshox SID SL 80mm - buy?

    I've got a pair of these, serviced once in 20 years. Ridden loads. I had to top up the air pressure yesterday, it had dropped from 120 to 100psi since last pumped, in 2024😃 Having said that, it's a strong price. A vgc used pair (which might actually be more reliable from having had some...

    Wanted Shimano 105 r7020 11spd STI Levers and brakes

    Most hydros are internal routing, requiring the hoses cut to remove. Watch out too for faulty items (calipervpistons stuck is most common) There aren't many reasons to take these off a bike, but this is one!

    Wanted Hope Bulb 20mm front adaptors and rear 12mm

    Do you know the length of the 20mm spacers, and the outside width at the bearing end? I've got a drawer full because the hubs used to come to us with all the spacers, but the customer only wanted one! Trouble is, the various hope hubs have different ones!

    Saracen Road bike

    I've had a few saracen road/tour bikes through the shop, but rare now. An occasional repair. Lugged construction - someone could possibly name the builder? It looks like the brand tried to expand its range in the mid/late 80s, before they lost their way in the 90s race-to-the-bottom, holding...

    V Brake set up query.

    You need to swap the washers round on the pads. There's a thick one and a thin one. The arms should be near vertical when they touch the rims. There's occasionally an issue with narrow boss spacing and wide Rims. Always surmountable. If you're still struggling, send a photo of the cable...

    Today's Ride

    Rode through my flooded Town😪 to see what was open. (News photo from yesterday) The greengrocer was delighted to have a customer, the only shop open on that side of the street, helped by no stock near the ground, a concrete floor and a killer work ethic. The car park by the playing fields...

    Bikes and Bridges

    Our poor little town, almost all the shops we use have been flooded. The fortified Bridge we were on a couple of weeks ago Was almost the only dry land! Given the water got up to the parapet, and it's 700 years old, we are lucky it survived. 😢

    Where's my forest gone? To the Grouse...that's where....

    Sadly humanity's effect will probably take out 99% of species. That's a lot of evolution. Luckily for the rats and cockroaches, who will be riding all those Raleigh Mustangs way into the future!
