    Nightmare, BB stuck in frame

    So, stripped the 'O' down to frame/forks and come to remove the really old BB. Notice the splines look a bit messy but press on anyway (bad idea). So using my 4 foot scaffold on my 2 foot breaker I get it turning with the occasional little slip, get it half way out and...

    Crank arm lengths?

    Apologies for the billy basic question, but I've just realised that in over 15 years of MTB'ing I've never understood the different crank length reasoning! My bike has 175mm's for example, now I've seen 170mm's and 180mm's what would the effect of a swap to shorter/longer be?

    It's taken 15 years.....

    Brake Boosters

    Does anyone still use them? Can you buy them new? They were massive amongst the group people I hang a round with as a kid, I had cheap Halfords (Trans-X?) ones in silver, always wanted some Shimano carbon ones. Thinking I may get some for my XC bike for nostalgia purposes.

    Reproduction Pace RC36 EVO Decals?

    Is there anywhere I can get some reproduction Pace RC36 EVO decals? Pic of the forks below, its the main PACE decals on the legs with the yellow/orange parts that I want to replace. They look like they were screened on at the factory, but I imagine replacements would be cut vinyl. Thinking...

    Has anyone done the Coast-to-Coast (Whitehaven to Tynemouth)

    Well as it says? My manager at work is doing it for charity and has asked me to tag along, has anyone done it? Record seems to be a little short of 10 hours in a single day, 110 miles. We're probably going to do it over 2 days, seeing as the first day is a constant climb up to Alston!
