OK, I have two bikes, one modern, one older. I have an idea that it would be possible to take the wheels off my 11 speed campy bike and, by simply swapping the freehub with the freehub from my shimano 8 speed bike's wheels, I could use my newer wheels with my 8 speed cassette. Is this remotely...

As per the title. My roadbike is running an 8 speed shimano setup (mixture in fact of dura ace, 600, 105). The rear derailleur is shimano 600. The front chainwheels are 53 and 39. My current cassette is 13-23 which is fine for most purposes (and I like the fact that the spacing between gears...

Hi there. I have an idea, which is to run some slick road tyres on my MTB for road use. However I want the option of knobbly tyres for the off road stuff. I want to get another set of wheels so that I can have a separate wheelset for each type of tyre and simply swap them over when needed. To...

Hi. I am after a second set of wheels for my Orange c16r. I want some light (ish) but still robust wheels for road use. I will fit some slicks and retain the existing wheels for off road/tracks etc. I'm currently running a 7 speed cassette so the new wheels will need to accommodate the same...

Oh dear. Riding along the other day (miles from anywhere, naturally) and somehow, whilst changing gear- I can't work out what precisely happened- the rear derailleur sheared in two. I was going pretty slowly, nothing got caught up in the wheels or anything and the chain didn't slip off the...

Hi folks- So here's the beginner's questions. I have an Orange hardtail bike with a missing front mech/shifter/everything but with a triple up front, so I need to obtain the necessary bits to enable front shifting. At the rear is a Shimano 7 speed set up- I think its Alivio- in working...

Courtesy of a member of this fine forum I have purchased a pair of Orange F7 forks which I am going to fit to my c16 bike in place of the suspension forks (don't like them, no need for them). Like these...

Hi all, Am about to pick up an Orange c16r in a 21" frame size, in a fetching silver finish. However the front suspension forks are not really my cup of tea and I'd really like to get hold, ideally, of some of the original rigid forks. I'm a novice so far as bike things are concerned...

Hi all. Has anybody any info on how good/bad a bike a Claud Butler psycho (no longer findable on the web) is? I've the chance of getting one and only need a bike for trails and paths but would like to know if they are regarded as a heap of junk or fundamentally decent. When were they made...

As you can see from the photos this frame has Merlin branding (Merlin Racing Cycles, Leeds on the logo) but having been in touch with Bob Jackson cycles they think they may be responsible for the paint job/ respray but they do not think it is one of their frames. The 2 numbers- 281 and 36-...
