The article CJ wrote was about the other design with the bar looping over the top of the wheel, BUT the design CJ criticised was when the bar looping over the top of the wheel was only from the top section of the rack, and the bar looping over the top did not extend down to the fork drop out. I have...

It is the new design smart signage system. It says keep the junction clear, and putting the yellow sign in the cycle lane keeps the junction clear of bikes.
Joined up thinking for once, what more could you want?!

The police will be more interested if the van is untaxed/no MOT etc. Put the van details in here : https://vehicleenquiry.service.gov.uk/ (closed for maintenece as I write), it says if the vehicle is taxed and has an MOT. If it is a business van, contact the owner if details visible on your video, i...

The number of times booking in a repair at work has begun with the words "I lent my bike to........"

Scroll down the links you provide, the frame dimensions for a given size are different for male/female frames (particularly the top tube, I didn't particularly check all the other dimensions).

The 2 times I have had stuff stolen : Camping stuff one night while sleeping in a youth hostel in France (others had stuff stolen too) (1980) Left luggage (outside behind campsite reception), 1989. All my luggage incl bike had been sent on ahead (long coach journey), so I only had stuff I needed for...

I stand corrected, useful to know.

If a spoke with its elbow on the inside of a hub flange has it's nipple works a bit loose* on its thread, it bows out a bit because 1. It is a bit slack 2.

I assume it is an old 1990's Orbit. I've just done one up as a town runabout, and worked in an Orbit dealer in the 1990's. Orbit's frame construction and paint finish did have a notably bad patch at one point, I'd check the frame is ok. If the "nasty plastic covered canti brakes fore and aft&qu...

Is it Vale of Evesham, possibly the edge of Breedon Hill in the back ground to the right?
Yellow/blue jersey is chelenham CTC I think.

Brucey,
thanks, I thought as much but wasn't sure. Just got the correct lever from my LBS.

Cheers.

I currently have a bike with a 7s Shimano hub gear and twist grip lever. I think the lever is a derailleur lever looks like one, has "Revoshift" written on it and the gear numbers work backwards, 7 is low, 1 is high. Before I tinker with gear adjustment more, question. Is the cable pull of...

I have 2 differing hunches. The statues suggests to me something to do with the Orthadox Church (but not sure which one, possibly Greek or Georgian, see below). There appears to be a lake/pond in the back ground, with water running through the 3 arches under the statues on the left. The statue at th...

20 years ago, new (was then anyway) millenium?
