At Het Volk, it's always that to me, the Lidl Trek team debuted a single, solid, chainring at the front, and, wait for it.. wait for it... a rear cassette with a 46 tooth sprocket! You read that right.. Not a misprint. Picture on the comic's website. I double checked to see if it was April 1st...

Jonas Vingegard is on 150mm cranks. What are the (dis)advantages of these? Anyone here tried them?

Reported on cyclingnews that Raleigh have posted a loss of £30,000,000. But the management claim they're in a 'strong position' So that's alright then.

Amateur Googling reveals that carbon fibre frames will degrade over time, much quicker than steel frames it seems, so after us steel men are gone retro will pass too!

'Gem' has passed away, at the grand age of 99. A legend of the sport. Friend and confidante of Fausto Coppi, directeur sportif of Jacques Anquetil amongst others. The best rider never to win the Tour de France it has been said (open to debate) What cannot be argued against however is his place...

Okay, lifelong tub user, and I'm not changing now. So let's put that to bed. Wondering has anyone tried using puncture sealant on tubs? I rarely get punctures, but anyway I bring 3 tyre levers with me to get it off quickly, so that's not much of an issue, and I'm moving again in a few minutes...

Etiquette when riding. Here in Ireland it's generally accepted that meeting a rider going the other way we acknowledge them. It's just the way of things. On country roads anyway, what you in the UK call lanes. A spoken greeting if speed and road width allow, or maybe just a nod of the head, or...

Has anyone here ever used cranks longer than 170mm? Maybe some of the testers here? If so what was your experience of them? Indurain used 180's I think. I've seen pics here of some with the L shaped cranks, what were they like to ride? I'm just curious.

Thinking back to when I started road racing in the early 80s as a young teen. Quite a few others who raced had wheels with large flange hubs. They were so common I didn't think much about it at the time. What I'm curious about is why they were so common on road wheels of the time and earlier...

Just wondering, I'm changing cables on my Ergopower, late 90s Record 8sp version, Brifters are the 9 speed version (pointy tops), but cassette is 8sp. I only use 4 or 5 on the cassette, the mid ones on it, so that's not an issue for me. The downtube cable adjusters, and the barrel screw thingy...

Traditional steel frame building in the UK is to be placed on the Heritage Crafts "red list" meaning it's recognised as being in danger of dying out, so various initiatives are planned and a meeting is to take place between independent frame builders and Heritage Crafts. Apparently those that...

On tubs since 1981, started repairing them not long after, I could never afford to just throw them away. It's never been an issue for me, but just out of idle curiousity I looked on YouTube, and there's not even a single video on repairing a tub puncture, it seems to be bring a sealant (have...

I'm sure I'm not alone in not riding my 2 beloved steel bikes on wet roads in winter, so I'm curious as to how others maintain theirs while in storage to all intents and purposes for the next few months. Assuming not taking it or them apart and storing in boxes or similar. A daily do with a...

This is my Rapparee in Columbus SLX 56cm c/c. Made to measure for me in April 1987 by Des and Ken Maye, Rapparee framesets. Based in Clonard, Co. Meath, Ireland, the frames were very popular as cycling boomed in Ireland due to the Roche and Kelly factor. They built in Reynolds and Columbus. I...
