Maybe, if possibly would be a good answer. How do you define both the sports tourer and the adventure bike......... Exactly. Most bikes can, and do get used for a variety or purposes. The taxonomy of bicycle types and purposes depends entirely on a subjective classification of both. They are also s...

Yes.

Does the electricity supply to the garage come from the house? If so my first choice would be send the signal down that. The adaptors can also act as wireless base stations. This sort of thing although I'm not up to date on models: https://www.amazon.co.uk/TL-WPA4220KIT-Powerline-Broadband-Configur...

IMHO Scott is correct; IME tektro 559s with the brake blocks in the top of the slots offer enormous power with 'old' pull levers (with some brake blocks, arguably too much) and more than enough with 'new' pull levers. cheers I can vouch for this. I've had 2 frames recently that ran32mm or 35mm tyre...

Surly's website still has a LHT with rim brakes and LHT with discs and through axles. So it looks like it's the QR disc version that's been discontinued.

.......Should a national C-19 policy and the tiers and restrictions not take into account the demographic of the victims both dying with and of the virus rather than a blanket of restrictions that will lead to greater damage to the population than the virus itself can cause..... Yes. So the additio...

The Hope trials hub is similar. https://www.hopetech.com/products/hubs/trial-ss/pro-4-trials-single-speed-rear-hub/ Interesting, my knowledge of MTB stuff is limited. Just looked at this couldn't find where it said how wide the freehub was - what the options were for a stripped down cassette. I sti...

btw, I don't recall anyone asking this before, but can anyone remind me - who's in charge of the virus? I mean, like do they have a government, or maybe a collection of super-informed viruses who can advise on the best way forward, scientifically-speaking... can they even speak?? There must be some...

I've found that by far the best noise for warning pedestrians is squealing brakes (at some distance), closely followed by a loud freewheel and clicking brake levers, Normally these produce a sensible response and little annoyance. Now that electronic bells are common I don't know why someone doesn't...

The human brain is brilliant for exactly this sort of thing - my advice is: wrap the wire round the fork leg, in a spiral, like everybody else does. Next, spend some time being resentful that you have not been able to achieve the level of ingenuity you demand of yourself and angry at how ugly the r...

Will they pull enough cable for 8+ speed cassettes?

My experience is that if you're using an MTB mech on a frame with 700c wheels the version for the narrower chainstay angle is better 'cos there's less chance of the cage fouling the chainstay when on the small ring. The problem is that MTB front mechs come in a variety of options but retailers will ...

https://road.cc/content/tech-news/ratios-conversion-kit-adds-shift-1x11-sram-groupsets-278169 hmmmm Yes, the last time I really needed and extra sprocket it was between the 17 and 20 on a 9 speed cassette. Apart, of course, from the 11.5 and 12.5 sprockets we really need to make modern road cassett...

And back to the original question. I've put an FSA Tempo (118mm ST BB, cheap) on a Veloce 10 speed with a 13-29 cassette. Changing was fine, no difference. Bottom gear was OK for sweaty cycling for me but not for comfort. 46-13 was a bit low to really enjoy the long incline from Bredon Hill home so ...

Yes there are solutions. Bodging cassettes is one, sometimes just replacing the 11 tooth sprocket and lockring with a 12 is nearly acceptable. sometimes replacing the first 3 sprockets will give the ratios you want and preserve the sprocket timing. The 2 solutions that have worked best for me are: 1...
