Darcus, Where on the coach/bus is the bike stored when in transit. Is there a luggage compartment under the bus to take the bike without dismantling? I've often thought about bus out and bike back for a day ride. Cycler. I put the bike in the compartment underneath, but It has to be in a bag or els...

I commute to London weekly from Bristol and take my road bike with me, I started off with a fold up bike which I didnt get on with , which I sold and started to experiment with taking my trusty hack on the coach . N.E stipulate that a bike needs to be in a bag, but as I get off the coach and ride to...

Just so that you know,(sorry havnt logged on for ages) the forks were repaired in September by Argos in Bristol, cost me £30, I didnt however show them the frame, although it does seem to have got away unscathed , the bike is back to how it it used to be! Argos are brilliant!

I took my Forks to Bristol bike workshop who told me "dont ride the bike, it wont be safe, you need new forks"..............then took the bike to Argos frame rebuilders who said : £30 to mend them, no problem !

By the way, I have noticed that the bending/twisting/movement seems to have taken place on the crown, as one side aligns with the bearing cups and the other is slightly pushed back.

Thanks a lot for the advice! I will have a closer look for any frame damage.....D

Hi there, last week, after my panniers oddly decided to come off and go into my front wheel, I came off my bike, proper buttock over tit, landing on my chin, nose, hands and knees.....I picked myself up ,thought nothing of it ( well apart from the stitches and pain etc) until today when I realised t...

Im getting my aerospace 400 back on the road soon, its been in my bedroom for ages, it'll be mostly retro parts, mostly original, mine came with non death forks, and SR crankset with standard BB, weinmann 630 sidepull brakes, 27" rims, altus gearset, SR stem.....with a few news bits , got some ...

I took a BB on a four day tour in wales last year, at one point we had a broken chain incident and we would have been stuffed if i hadnt been able to find a shop and its number on my blackberry web feature, we also used the google maps app to help with directions.......and then there's the excellent...

Hi there, viscount fans, Ive had this hanging from my bedroom ceiling for ages now,I'm going to get it up and running this summer at some point.....bought it from the guy who took these photos of it near Bath, Ill put some pics up when its nearer completion! http://www.retrobike.co.uk/forum/viewtopi...

Ok thanks.

Thanks a lot for all your advice, so......i can run clincher tires on tubeless rims ??

I just want to know before I remove the tubeless tires that came with the wheels!

Hi there, I have a pair of wheels from a bike I recently bought. They have Mavic GP4 rims which are a very popular/common tubeless type on specialized hubs . Tubeless rims are not something which I desire on this machine, so I am wondering ho easy would it be to find a clincher rim to exactly replac...

Thanks a lot, Im going to get the Stronglight Impact, seems a popular choice, and they seem quite cheap too
