I guess I would still have to fork out £25.82 (Rose bikes) for a removal tool just to get the old 16T one off? I'd either find a shop or someone who has one, mine is now probably redundant but I'll hang onto it anyway in the unlikely event I need to take the carrier off sometime. Where are you? Man...

Thanks for pic I've been investigating this one today and it seems, from the Rohloff web site that the old optional rings are now discontinued. So I'm behind the times with this. I guess I would still have to fork out £25.82 (Rose bikes) for a removal tool just to get the old 16T one off? Sri, didn'...

You were missing a gear before, too? :), well sort of. The conversion to chain drive meant having different sprockets and sizes. I still have the 14 gears of course but there is now one less high gear and one more lower gear. Gear 14 is now what gear 13 was I suppose. I did request it this way but ...

Hi Just catching up with this tread: I have had a Signature for nearly 10 years now (bought Mar'08 from Cyclesence (Tadcaster) Originally it had Shimano XT on it but I changed to Rohloff after 2 years of the chain leaping off the small chainring when changing down. Camping/Touring is not fit place t...

A few years ago now I bought a padded seat cover from Decathlon which I used while breaking in a new Brooks saddle They may still sell them or maybe Amazon may have same. Just a cover that slips over the saddle but has some extra padding (foam or something I cannot remember) Worked OK but had to dit...

I was told by people running the C&C site in St Neots that it is in their constitution as laid down by the founder that they are not allowed to turn away anyone who turns up that is 'self propelled' that is not motorized. So if your on foot, a bike or even a canoe they must find you a pitch. On ...

Klickfix does a range of bag that fit onto the HB A bag normally comes with a attachment fitting BUT you can buy separately a thing called a Extender - this goes between the HB and the normal attachment bracket This should set it free from the control wires - as you can see (I hope) in pic P1010913_...

Hi: I ended up at one point with both consoles cos I got a PS4 then Xbox One because they said some Xbox 360 titles could be played on XB1 This turned out to be a limited offer so I got rid of the XB1 over a year ago There is a new version of that out I notice and I've just got a PS4 Pro (its quicke...

I use a Garmin Edge 800 for following routes or as Garmin calls them 'courses' I you ride a route once you can save it to do again as a 'course' Alternatively plot your route(s) with free websites like Bike Toaster or Bike Hike - then download from there direct to the Edge Think you probably need ac...

Hi - I too am based in Mc/r I usually book trains in advance thru:- http://ojp.nationalrail.co.uk/service/planjourney/search there's an option to select a bike booking I have found in the past that you may as well just turn up with just your ticket as they don't seem to check if your bike is booked ...

Its Shakespeare 400th anniversary so thought you all may be interested to note that it is my belief that he rode a bike proof 12th night quote - about punctures "anything that is mended is but patched" Hamlet quote - about wearing a helmet "best safety lies in fear" Richard II qu...

Paper OS maps are indeed the best to view your overall position However they are heavy, hard to fold, prone to damp and you have to stop to view them I've had a Satmap Active 10 since 2009 and in 2012 bought a Garmin Edge 800 Both, now, have full UK OS mapping (at a price) One great advantage over p...
