    Phoneholder brand new for postage +karma

    Phone holder. Supposedly water proof. The size was not stated accurately and it is too small for my phone. Fits a galaxy core (my wifes but she has no use for it). Looks identical to this one. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Waterproof-R ... 0033.m2042

    Botom braket removal Advice please.

    I had a wee go at it but it's not budging. Before I crank up the force I wanted to ask: Do I remove this like a normal cartridge Botom bracket. It looks like one to me but then I spotted the threads and wee nut on the axle so started to wonder if i have to remove that first? I'll give it a scrub...

    Replacement chainrings as a set?

    Is there anywhere were I can buy SET of decent replacement chainrings (48 38 28, or 48 36 26 ). I't appears that to be a lot cheaper to buy a whole triple crank set, I don't want or need?

    25 of April 2015 Pedal on Parliament 4

    MacRetro seems to have a very strong off road emphasis but i'm sure you would all agree it would be nice to be able to actually cycle to the local trails with children… I thought that this would be better here than in Edinburgh but I find that in Edinburgh i had a better chance to find a quiet...

    (Marin) Catalogue Bike Weights are they actually accurate

    Having looked at some weights in marin/kona catalogues it looks like bikes lost 2kg from early to mid 90s. Since there seemes to be a large fan base for early muddy fox (and I like flouro green) I got a 1990 courier comp. 20" frame. I liked the fox until I decided to weigh it. I can't...

    Where/Which spares for an Exage 300 LX rear Mech

    I need a new top jokey pully (excessive sideways play) and new spring adjusting B-tension (there is no effect when adjusting the screw). Anywhere I can get new old stock? Or which readily available spares for more modern mechs will do the trick.

    Who else lives/rides in the (Central) Borders?

    Just wondering who's around? Who would fancy riding together locally road or off it. Family commitments mean i'm mostly limited to half a day max. Short notice 1-3h rides would probably suit me best. Other than Tue. afternoon/evening I should be able to do any time, (pending arrangement...

    Front mounted child seat on a Girving flex stem?

    Anyone tried it? Not that i'm super fond of that stem but it does not bother me. If it does not work I will to source a 150mm reach 22.2 quill stem that can run cantos… and this time of year i'd rather be out riding than trawling the net for such a thing.

    Rack mounting on a Muddy fox with Wishbone Seatstays????

    It's a 1990 courier comp with the wishbone seat stays (I'll put up some pics later). It does have two braze ons at the rear drop outs (one for mudguards one for a rack I thought) which made me choose it over a Marin I was also thinking to buy. I love the looks of the funky seat stay design but...

    Selkirk mountain bike Marathon

    Just spotted a poster at the local Grocer yesterday. Anyone coming down for this? http://www.selkirkmtbmarathon.com I'm no where near fit enough but if they had a retro/all rigid category i might just be tempted to enter the 25miles just to see if I could last it.
