OPTION 3 Build new Disc braked wheels using CS-RK3 rear and a dynamo disk front. I don't know if SA do a version of CS-RF3 with a drum brake but if they do You could go for... ...OPTION 4 Drum brakes front and rear using SA X-FDD front with a (CS-RF3 type) with drum brake rear. And never worry abou...

Personally if i had the space and disposable income i would have bought it and tried it out... ..the 80's frame may have had rack mountings for a rear rack and eyelets for mudguards. The frame angles may be more relaxed than your current bike, making it less twitchy when the going gets bouncy. Despi...

Bicycle journalist hyperbole......its never good to make anything from that, especially not a bicycle frame...

Renewing the rear deraillure cable on my self build - I could go along the top tube and down the seat stay, or along the down tube and then the chain stay - which route has less friction?

There are a lot of very angry people around at the moment. Iit sounds weird but I don't think they're shouting at you, personally. I suspect that most angry people have found themselves leading a life they don't understand, are in a relationship with someone they no longer love or recognize, have ch...

I once took part in an audax ride from Bristol that set off in a northerly direction and soon got onto country lanes. Rounding a corner I was stopped in my tracks by an irate local person who told me that another cyclist (presumably also on the audax) had clipped him as he stepped out of his drivewa...

Firstly, i'm sorry to hear about what was a very scary and potentially life threatening situation. Personally speaking there may be no recourse. It's a hard thing to write and an even harder thing to read. Yes, there should be recourse, the behaviour shown to you falls seriously below what anyone wo...

Hi Utility cyclist, Sorry to say it but it sounds like you have more Petrol Head genes than this old cloth eared cyclist/pedestrian! The number of times I've been bashed about by folk who insist on snow-ploughing me aside on a pavement/shared use area outnumbers the hairs on my head!! I may be thin...

Hi all, And what this cycling pedestrian would like others to know is that Drivers have not got a monopoly of road use, indeed they are there by conditional licence, obey laws. Well there's a piece of fine thinking that could turn any cyclist into a smudge on the road... whilst morally and lawfully...

Just toadd that that I really like those handlebars - does anyone know what that style is called? I'd really like to get a set

You should be really proud of that bike, it looks like it's just rolled out of a bike shop - such a great level of finish.

I can see that I'm going to have to put more work into my home build

Three years and a couple of months ago I built this having read Bruceys post and having seen a very nice Dave Yates bike featuring 1 x 11 gearing and 26 inch wheels 20190929_135411.jpg Not much has changed, the front brake works as well as it has ever done, the brake brake has become stronger as the...

H'mmm... looking at the film image again, it looks to me as if she makes two attempts to over take you. The first one she tries and then is either forced back or perhaps understands that there is not enough room and during the second she knocks you off as she doesn't give you enough room.... ...give...

Opinions and suggestions welcomed. I do wonder if I should move my pannier to the other side because I'm pretty sure in both cases they push the rear of the bike around steering me into the car and giving me no chance to get away. rmUgWU1T6GI Sorry to hear & see your collision. I hope you get w...

My view is you shouldn't be calling out at all, It's a misnomer to believe that calling out is merely to inform other cyclists on the road/trail that you are coming, it is in fact to tell the other cyclist to 'hold their line' so as not to veer into you. You make my point and clearly don't get it d...
