Just a thought but are you certain that you actually have the long spacers fitted? The long spacers on my BR-CX70's measure 18mm. There's an additional 2mm available depending on where you place the 2mm thick washer. With this combination you ought to be able to accommodate 85mm boss spacing with 19...

As others have said, the return train journey from Barnstaple to Plymouth goes via Exeter. An alternative is to cycle part of the way. We got off the train at Yeoford and cycled back to Plymouth via Okehampton.

This site contains one of most comprehensive resources of all things Peugeot. http://www.bikeboompeugeot.com/index.html There's an extensive library of old brochures from all over the world. I suggest you start your search with those from France and the UK for the years that Brucey has indicated.

There's also this if your bar bag uses R&K Klick Fix fitting.

You should be able to replace just the handle.

Just come across this

It mixes imperial and metric units and is a bit complicated as an every day rule but it seems to work OK. A set distance such as in the present 1.5 metre rule is easier to remember.

Have a play with this site. It's useful for converting OS grid references to latitude and Longitude.

Thanks for that gaz. It's a more direct route than the one I had planned, I may well give it a go next time I'm down that way.

That's useful to know. I'm guessing the off road section of the NDW wouldn't be advisable on a touring bike with 28mm tyres. I rode from Whitstable to Ashford as part of a Kent tour earlier this year using much of that route but excluding the NDW. The plan was to follow route 18 all the way from Can...

Providing you make an early start you should be fine. I've ridden from Fort William to Fort Augustus early on a Sunday morning and it was fine. That said if you've got any doubts why not do an out and back route to Fort Augustus on the south side of the loch. You could vary the route somewhat by tak...

A year or so ago I spent a week on the Arlingham peninsular near Frampton-on-Severn, a bit north of Bristol. There's some excellent riding in that area and I remember a couple of tea rooms in Berkeley, one on the corner of the cross roads in the middle or the town and another in a courtyard a short ...

It might help if you told us exactly what you are hoping to achieve. On triples it's generally the outer to middle ring tooth differences which are most critical and that's governed by both the depth and the profile of the inner cage. Middle to inner shifts are much more forgiving. Since you already...

I've only got a couple of bikes on doubles now and they are both running 46/36 chainrings. Both are 10 speed, one is Shimano 12-27 cassette and the other is Campag 13-29. These bikes are used for day rides with minimum luggage. All my other bikes are load luggers of various sorts and are running tri...

I've really enjoyed these World Championships. The Yorkshire terrain and often challenging conditions have really animated the racing. One expects world class performances at the World Championship but there have been some truly exceptional individual performances. Difficult to single out any single...

SJS don't appear to be far off according to measurements of my stainless steel Epic rack.

Measured vertically to the underside of the top platform from the centre of the drop out mounting hole is 364mm. The lower rail is 59mm below the top rail.
