    Complete bicycles, frames, forks, handlebars stems and more.

    I haven't posted for a while, so hello to everyone that remembers me. I still ride regularly, but haven't been using my MTBs much, so I've decided to have bit of a clear out. Mainly MTB parts, although some are non specific and there are a couple of road parts too. I hope this is OK, but I've...

    Best method of cleaning white grips and saddles.

    My brother has bought a very lightly used Hoy bicycle for my nephew for Christmas, like this one: I offered to give it a clean and a once-over. Now i've wiped of some dust and given the frame a polish it looks pretty much brand new with hardly a mark or any signs of use on it. However, the...

    Hypex UcD700HG with HxR power amplifiers 360w p/c £800.

    1 Pair of Hypex UcD700HG with HxR mono power amplifiers. £800.00. I built these a few years back, but I'd really like something a bit smaller. The amps sound incredible, as much power as you could ever want for a domestic hi-fi, but absolutely crystal clear. If it's on the recording, these...

    SPD shoes that you can actually walk in.

    I currently use ye olde fashioned flat pedals with toe clips and straps. However, I'm thinking giving SPD pedals another go. I have a set of SPD pedals kicking aabout and I also have some SPD shoes. However, the shoes I have are totally hopeless off the bike, the soles are completely rigid...

    FREE - KMC 10 speed chain quick links - GONE.

    I have two KMC 10 speed quick links that were sent to me in error; I ordered 11 speed links. I don't have anything with a 10 speed chain and I'm unlikely to, so PM me your address and I'll pop them in the post. First come, first served.

    Tubeless tyres question.

    This is my first try with tubeless tyres and they're road tubeless, 700 x 40c; both the tyres and the rims are designed for tubeless. I can get the tyres on the rims without any problem and I was then able to pump them up using just a track pump, no need for a special air tank or a compressor...

    Rockshox Reba 2007 service question.

    I have a set of 2007 Rockshox Reba SL and I want to service them, however I'm struggling to find the right service kit. There seems to be two, one with the outer seals and foam rings, the other with a whole bunch of "O" rings and air valves. What should I get and any suggestions on where from?

    Is it me or is it windier than it used to be?

    Is my memory playing tricks on me, or is it more windy more often than when I was a teenager? I started cycling quite a lot when I was about 15, which would have been 1983, and I don't remember it being this windy so often.

    Can anyone do sheet metal work?

    I'm looking to make something like this: https://www.cyclewerks.co.nz/product/bo ... le-adaptor I can get hold of a small sheet of stainless steel, cut it out and drill all the relevant holes, what I'm not so sure about is being able to fold the sides, not neatly anyway. Also, how thick do...

    Tour de Kent and Sussex

    At the ripe old age of 50, I've just done my first cycle tour. I say tour, a friend and I strapped some stuff to our bikes, rode from Folkestone to Rye, found a campsite, pitched a tent, went to the pub for the evening and rode home the next day. We were a bit unlucky with the wind, we rode...

    Replacing rims - advice needed.

    I have a set of wheels and the rims don't look overly worn, but when braking, I get a pulsing through the brake lever on the front wheel as if there were a fat, or possibly thin section on the rim. I can't see anything or feel anything if I run my hands around the rim. The spokes and the hub...

    Tool Time!

    Some of my tools, the allen/hex keys in particular were looking a bit worn, so I'd thought I treat myself to some shiny new ones: Some nice new hex keys, some proper JIS screwdrivers and a teeny, tiny ratchet set to keep in my bicycle tool box.

    Short shorts

    Being a fat biffa with stumpy legs I often find shorts too long, they will often reach down to my knees, or even past them, rather than 3/4 the way down my thighs, where I want them. Any recommendations for baggy shorts for stocky people with short legs?
