Evening folks, I've been out of the mtb world for a good few years and out of the loop as it were...I'm looking for recommendations for a decent mid range mtb, preferably 29/700c wheels, discs (cable are fine) front suspension only, 1 or 2 by is ok. A couple of years old is fine as I'll be...

I've just bought the black Shimano 105 11 speed rim braked groupset from Wiggle (£299on offer) it's to upgrade my 2009 Trek 1.7. The Trek's been ace but bits are wearing and by the time I'd added it up it was a no brainer...I'll save the original 105 10 speed to fit on my 2010 Edison as I can...

I've had these on an old bike for years, I know they aren't widely loved but I've found them to be perfectly acceptable for a winter bike, I retired the bike a couple of years ago and decided to fit the shifters to a Raleigh Pioneer that I'm making into a 'new' winter bike...however the hoods...

Has anyone got a 13/14 to 28/32 ish Freewheel, Suntour or Shimano, I'm having wheels rebuilt with new hubs and absolutely no way will the old freewheel come off.

I'm looking for a bike computer that will run from the rear wheel of my old JF Wilson Road bike whilst on my Tacx turbo trainer. If wired it'll have to reach the rear wheel and I'd prefer if it had a watt/power function as well as basics... Any ideas?

Has anyone fitted bigger than 23c tyres to a 2010 Trek 1.7, its a stiff frame and the tyres are getting ready so I thought I'd kill two birds with one stone and pop on some bigger tyres though clearance is tight.

I'm having issues getting into the largest sprocket(28t) on the rear whilst using the smallest front ring (triple). All the others are going in fine, it's a new cable, a new casette and chain. The rear derailleur is an old but virtually unused long cage Exage 500 LX. The shifters all work fine...

Recently got back into road riding after a few years off. I've a 2009 Trek 1.7 ,it's fitted with an 11/25 rear which coupled with a 34/50 front makes for hard going on some Derbyshire hills. So short of it what's the capacity for the 105 short cage rear deraillieur, is it 27 or 28t?

Winter cycling!!! anyone have any winter cycling recommendations around Chesterfield, Derbyshire? I've been taking the son in law out for a few months along the Chesterfield canal to Rother Valley mainly to get his fitness up and to lose him a bit of weight. He's done really well and knocked a...

apologies if it's already been discussed but has anyone managed to put 27.5" wheels into an older 26" wheel frame?

has anyone got a good/true 26" /559 Shimano Deore or similar 7 speed rear wheel (11-28 or similar)laced to a Mavic 238 with stainless spokes in...Chesterfield/Sheffield area ish, can collect.

Does anyone have a non drive side 170mm Sakae SX crank arm, obviously the threads will need to be good as will the tapers, the odd scuff is OK as I'll be polishing it all anyway. I've attached a pic to show what the markings are like, it is the non drive side that is needed.

I've not posted in a while mainly as I'm always busy with it and tbh I haven't bought any new bikes or bits for ages... So the other day I saw this Raleigh Montage for £15, completely original and rideable, it just needs a 'new' Sakae left side crank arm oh and it needs a damn good clean and polish.

I moved this here as it's more likely of interest to folk in here, ok a heads up for any interested parties, this British company has started making some repro cycling jackets, I've had some of their 30's style polo shirts and they're very nice so I know quality is good, they do look fantastic...

Urgently needed 26x 1 3/8" 3 spd SA rod braked rear wheel, has anyone in and around NE Derbyshire got one they can sell or better still loan for a week or so... my rear wheel has all gone wrong on my 30's Raleigh rod braked racer and I have a 'tweed run' on the 6th!

Does anyone know how involved it is to replace the threaded driver on early Sturmey type hubs.........I have a K32( 1932) that the sprocket is junk, given that they are difficult and expensive-ish to source can I install a 3 spline 'standard' driver from a later 3 speed? I seem to recall...

has anyone got a link or photo on how euro adaptors/beam benders should be fitted to an 06 Renault scenic? I am off to Spain next week and the last time I fitted them using the instructions in France I got 'flashed' a couple of times!
