Evening all, I'm after a new wheelset for my commuter, nothing fancy but would prefer new so I'm not having to buy again in 6 months time. If you have anything let me know. Cheers

Morning all, I've just taken the bottom bracket out of a bike I picked up a few months back as the spindle length is too long and the (plastic) cup/lockring? has a hairline crack running perpendicular to the thread. Is it possible to get just the replacement cups from anywhere as the BB is fine...

Looking for a cheap pair of STI shifters, 2x8. Thanks

Couple of weeks ago my chain started slipping from a standing start. I had a feeling it could be the chainrings as they were looking a bit ropey so have just swapped them over (as you can probably tell from the shiney rings and oily bike) but you can still see air between the chain and ring...

Evening all, I've got a set of shimano 600 downtime shifters (8 speed) on one of my bikes, all the gearing was fine until SWSNBN knocked the bike over and it seemed to have trouble going up on the top cog. Just taken the cable off and the indexing in the shifters seems to have changed. Gear...

Hi guys i'm after a decent set of forks to finish off my first mtb, ideally 180mm+ steerer that can take v brakes. Something along the lines of PACE RC35/Marzocchi Bomber. Don't have to be perfect as long as usable. Cheers

Looking for a nice set of 1 1/8th front forks with about 100mm of travel, not too fussed what but need at least 190mm of steerer and to fit v brakes. Cheers

Not after anything fancy as long as it does the job

Evening, My back wheel is running on a Shimano 105 FH-1056 hub which I believe is an 8 speed hub? The guy who owned it before me put a 7 speed on there. My question is (I am after riding a lot of hills) can I put a 10 speed cassette on there without changing anything, maybe need spacers? Or am...

Morning guys, I am after a complete groupset for my marin build: 10 speed cassette & 10 speed shifter 68mm BB 10 speed chainset/crankest In the future also after some front shocks with v brake fitting and a rear shock to fit marin east peak.

Hi guys, I am in the process of stripping a Marin East Peak down to rebuild it, have got to the swing arm and for the life of me can't get the shock off the swing arm, i'm reading you simply undo one side and tap the bold back through but this bolt doesn't want to move at all, have squirted WD40...

Evening, Yesterday I put a post in the wanted section for a cheap rolling project, I was after a cheap Kona or Marin and oddly as I went back to the main board a Marin East Peak appeared in the ebay ads with only 15 minutes to go and at only £36 so I put a cheeky little last minute bid in and...

Hi guys posted this in main MTB section but realise my bike choices maybe better placed here. Basically i'm mainly a trail runner and got a road bike to supplement my training for that but after seeing some of the guys on bikes on the trails fancy giving it a go so after a cheap bike to see if...

Hi guys, picked a new bike up last week and it's all perfect bar on the smallest cogs the chain seems to catch on the inside of the big cog, this is literally by <3mm and makes the chain want to jump up on to the big cog. Having a bit of a read and have found some people put spacers in between...

Hi guys i'm more of a road biker but do a lot of trail running and the bikers seem to have a lot of fun on the trails so thought I would give a go ;) Looking for a cheap rolling project, good frame, naff everything else so I can give it a go. Located near Blackburn.

Hi guys, I picked up an old Raleigh bike just before christmas on an ebay whim and took it out for my first 20 miles over the weekend. Just after a bit of advice, when braking, and I don't know if it's just because of the age of the bike (1985), it hardly seems to brake at all. It had been...
