    Sold Shimano MTB shoes, MT-41G – EU size 43

    My knees will no longer allow me to wear shoes with a hard sole, so these Shimano MTB shoes need to find a new home. I’ve given them a clean and they’re in pretty good condition, so there’s plenty of wear left in them. They’re a European size 43, which is supposed to be equivalent to UK size...

    "The 80s" with Dominic Sandbrook

    Don't know whether anyone else saw this on Thursday night on BBC2, but it was rather good. The BBC's usual strategy when making a programme about the 1980s is to moan about Margaret Thatcher for an hour. So I wasn't expecting much.

    How will I know when to replace my disc brake pads?

    Hi fellas, When I was out yesterday evening, I noticed that applying my front (disc) brake made a sound like someone was rubbing wire wool around the bottom of an old saucepan. It's been like that for a while and I don't know if this means that I need to change brake pads. It might be...

    Update: I broke my Saracen -- But now it's fixed! :)

    I've got a 7 speed cassette on a 9 speed freehub, thanks to a spacer ring. It all works well until you're hurtling down a bank, the chain drops off first gear and into the gap between the cassette & the wheel, hyper-extending the mech and bending it into the spokes.... I'm not too...
