I need to remove about 6 links from a new KMC chain. Which side of the chain do I push on with the tool to force the pin out. Smooth side of pipe or dimpled? Thanks for any advice.

I'm 6'4" tall, but only have 33" waist. I'm looking for some cycling tights as I want to keep cycling as far into winter as possible this year. I'm really struggling to find tights with extra long length legs - preferably a 35" inside leg. Does anyone have any recommendations for me, as I now...

I have Shimano Deore MT60 bear trap pedals from the mid 80s. They're getting a bit noisy, making a roaring noise when spun by hand. I assume they need new BBs and some grease. Will a good bike shop be able to strip and service this type of pedal? They must be good pedals, as there are some on...

Fed up with getting oil marks on my socks/trainers/trousers. Where can I get a guard for my chainring, either original Shimano or aftermarket? It's 48t elliptical Biopace. Have searched and found a couple on old Ebay listings, but nowhere else. http://www.ebay.de/itm/121845195971 Please note...

I ride a mid 80s British Eagle MTB. The old slick/road tyres I had were Tioga city slickers, which I used to inflate to around 65 PSI rear and 60 front which was within manufacturer's recommended pressures. All was well. I had to replace these and bought a pair of Schwalbe City Jets 26 x 1.5"...

I want to check the b tension screw on my mid 80s British Eagle MTB. It has 18 gears - 6 Uniglide rear and 3 elliptical Biopace chainrings. Which gears on the rear and the chainrings is it best to be in when checking and adjusting the b screw? Thanks for any advice.

I'm after a 14 teeth smallest/locking outer sprocket for my mid 80s MTB 6 speed Uniglide cassette (Deore/MT60 M730). They seem to be very elusive. However, a cheap, new 8 speed Uniglide cassette has come up. Will the 14 teeth smallest/locking sprocket on this 8 speeder be the same as the one...

If anyone has the following for sale (or knows of one), I would be eternally grateful; 6 speed uniglide cassette or individual sprockets - 14 to 32 teeth Bipace chain rings, alloy, oval - 48, 38 or 28 teeth.

Last year I replaced my old, worn 6 speed Uniglide freehub with a new old stock one. I still have the old hub. I've seen a few videos on Youtube by RJ The BiKe Guy, and in one he opens up a freehub and reassembles it and adds tenacious oil. Bearing in mind that the UG hubs are getting rare and...

I can find the place on my profile that says 'Attach my signature by default:', and I have selected the 'yes' box. However, I can't find where to type my chosen signature that I want displayed. Can anyone tell me where this is hidden? Or, as I'm quite new, do I need more posts first? Many...

BIKE DETAILS: Late 80s British Eagle MTB, 18 speed (6 gear Uniglide & 3 sprocket oval Biopace), Deore derailleurs and Deore SIS shifters This is, for now, a hypothetical question, so please don't put too much effort into going into this deeply. However, 6 speed Uniglide freehubs and sprockets...

The small sprocket on my 6 speed Uniglide (British Eagle late 80s MTB, Deore) is worn and causing the new chain to jump. Does anyone have a new :lol: :lol: :lol: or good used one for sale? Alternatively, does anyone know where else I should start looking? Many thanks.

BIKE DETAILS: Late 80s British Eagle MTB, 18 speed (6 gear Uniglide & 3 sprocket oval Biopace), Deore derailleurs and Deore SIS shifters. My bike has the original Deore SIS friction shifter to change between the the 3 sprockets on the crankset. Is there a way to change this so that changing is...
