More to do with travelling by train, shopping in supermarkets and trying to squeez in a visit to RNAS Yeovilton museum.

Hi All!
Can anyone reccomend B&B in Yeovil for the last week of June? Nothing too fancy!
Beauty, of course is that my friend and I don't need a car parking facility.
Safe cycling!

Thanks Vorpal for your comprehensive reply; I could not have wished for a more helpful reply.
Contacting the owners seems sensible.
I wish you safe cycling and Happy New Year!

Hi all I'm cycling/walking with a mourtain bike from Crowfield Rd to Mickfield via Scotts Hill Rd. My O.S. 1:50 000 from 1974 shows lots of footpaths that link the two roads avoiding the A1120, but then when I check these against the O.S. 1:25 000 Explorer Map 2008, many have vanished and what remai...

Thanks everybody I think the bicycle industry has agreed that reflector attachment bolts should protrude no more than 10mm from the reflector :evil: This has to join a long list titled: annoying things about bicycles and include such old chestnuts as lighting attachments to cycles and, and.... You'l...

Thanks in anticipation.

Hi all Internal thread on mountain bike arching bracket over front wheel for securing m/guard and reflector bracket. The head rounded off two allen keys before I used hardened steel allen key, but this only decapitated bolt/screw head. Any tips for getting stem out please? If drilling, are there spe...

Thank you everyone who contributed. I understand better now.

When the 1.50s start to show signs of wear, I'll start saving up for a pair of 1.95s if they are still made for road cycling.

Cheers and safe cycling.

Hi all Will I notice the difference switching from 26x1.95 to 26x1.50? While there are plenty of the latter and I have just bought Schwalbe City Jet, what I am replacing is 26x1.95 with knobles! I think I need the latter size for mostly road cycling but they seem more expensive. And to add to the co...

Thanks for looking freiston

For a laugh I thought I'd try a couple of allen bolts for water cages and they fit!
So panic over!
There are two threaded holes each side at the back and an arching plate for a front mudguard.

Safe cycling

Hi all
The holes on the frame dropouts have internal threads.
Please, what size bolts do I ask for in hardware shop?

Thanks in anticipation

ITV local news just announced the Highways England is to add lanes to the A12 Chelmsford - Colchester and cycle paths beside the A12 and other arterial roads in East Anglia. Given how many crossing places have been lost. Bridges are needed, not paths beside these noisy roads. One such example is Eas...

Looks like it's going to be 8s cassette with a Campag 9 speed Mirage long cage mech unless there is another option or someone has an 8 speed mech to sell me.

Thanks Brucey. LBS has Mirage long cage mech. I'll tell them 'bout B screw
I'll sell the chain and buy compatible one.

Thanks Mike, that's exactly what I wanted to know.
