    Front derailleurs (3x9) - inform the ignorant

    I noticed my front derailleur seemed a bit "looser" than normal recently, and looking closer it appears like part of the casting has broken off at the pivot point on one side: Assuming this is the case(?), I need to source a replacement. Seat tube seems to be 31.8mm - a fair number of...

    Whisky flavoured bikes

    I read about these yesterday and happened to bump into them today... http://road.cc/content/news/229206-reno ... isky-casks Actually they're very attractive "in the flesh" and also pretty light - they really have made a nice job of making the most of the wood grain and produced a nicely...

    8 Speed freehub bodies... which one?

    Rebuilding my wife's old (2001) Hahanna with / for my son and just when it was looking good and we thought we were about done we've discovered that the freehub body is bust (bent, somehow.) As far as I can ascertain the hub (the original) is Acera-X, it's 8 speed. Does anyone know what the...

    Jockey Wheels

    Why on earth are they so expensive? It's not like they're complex ultra-high precision devices, just a bit of plastic and a couple of paper-thin stamped washers... surely they should cost less than 50p each? Last time I was going to buy some, they were more than half the cost of a whole new...

    External BB questions

    I'm seriously considering a Genesis Aether 10 (would love an equilibrium but can't justify twice the price for the steel frame)... there are some good deals around on the 2010 model. I've only just noticed that it has an external (Truvativ ) bottom bracket, whereas this year's Aether 10 has...

    1994 Kona Fire Mountain

    Not very exotic, I know... but it's been a fantastic bike, my daily ride since I got it in 1995. In fairly original spec; And a while later, in its element... It's had a new chainset and new saddle since then, race guard etc added, but it's still essentially as it was there...
