I've used Kays Fasteners via ebay quite a lot - good range, happy to ship small quantities and no corrosion problems at all with their A4 bolts on my bike.

Quite funny story as ordered the new Roam with my 17% discount which at 263 makes it a bargain ... told someone and less than 24 hours that was withdrawn from the offer ! Lucky eh ! That's 12% by my calcs. Yes, I saw that and ordered one - Wahoo don't allow discounting and this slipped thought the ...

I haven't used Wiggle for a long time but I recently ordered a pair of tyres. What was actually delivered was one tyre as ordered, while the other was a different model, colour and even size from that ordered. 48 hrs after notifying them of the problem, with back and forth of multiple emails "...

If I select Di2 11 speed on the Shimano GRX interactive matrix, those are the components that are listed, hence my reasonable conclusion that it will work. That's not a very reasonable conclusion. ((edit)) (I'm not going to say it definitely won't work, but they are not claiming it will.) Hmm, you ...

The 46/30 will run with the 11-40 or 11-42 cassette using Di2. That's the 'rubbish' I'll be putting on my bike. I don't understand the negativity towards Shimano, even the basic stuff does the job and the better stuff does it very well indeed.

I've used a Wahoo TICKR HRM for a couple of years and been pleased with it. It has the advantage of being both Bluetooth 4 and ANT+ and I've used both with different Garmin, Wahoo and Polar receivers without any issue at all - starts broadcasting both formats immediately it's put on. Still on the or...

Rapha returns are free, but it's not immediately obvious. Wiggle are including their normal discount range on Rapha, so that's a healthy 12% for me at the moment, not that I need anything, but I'm a big fan of their Core shorts (better than the the current Classics, for me).

Increasingly Local Authorities seem to be completely closing roads for repairs or resurfacing, rather than opting for traffic management. Whilst detours are usually available, they may not be expedient for cyclists - I was on holiday cycling in Cambridgshire a little while ago with 37 miles done and...

Thanks! A man after my own heart with the detail. If only manufacturers would be more forthcoming!

Yes, leakage and it read that it lost 0.5 bar each time I tried to take a reading! Will certainly report back in due course.

Timely, and by conicidence I have also recently bought and returned the fancy Topeak digital gauge (hopelessly unusable) and an unbadged version of the Schwalbe one (equally hopeless). Will order one from the UK outlet.

I know there are overall sizes on the Carradice site, and these show 160mm wide x 210mm high x 365mm long. But what is the internal length of the main space please? And size of the rear pocket? Also, what is the clear dimension between the feet on the short side? Thanks.

Sadly cycling plus seems to have gone down the route of most other mainstream cycling mags , just catering for the sportive/racing/ tour de france wannabee , totally ignoring the rest of the cycling population . The best magazine by far ? Audax Uk members only magazine ' Arrivee '. Lots of inspirat...

I knew someone who cracked a litespeed.....he sent it back to them and they did it for him. It might be worth trying the original maker. It would be interesting to know who the original maker is. Given that most frames are built in China, Russia or parts of the Far East, it's unlikely that the orig...
