I personally would have a look at this. I would buy the aluminium version at £1299. I dislike discs and am not a lover of Carbon Fibre. There are some interesting articles to be found on the internet which contradict popular opinions on frame materials. Failing this I would go and visit Condor and s...

Remember that until around 20 years ago, the normal arrangement on 'everyday' cars was disc brake front, drum brake rear. AFAIK drum brakes were only phased out with the universal adoption of anti-lock braking systems, which couldn't be made to work with drums. Our 2016 car has drums on the rear. I...

I have an old 531 framed bike, which I currently use with braze on Campag friction gear levers and the rest of the set up is Shimano, with a 7 speed cassette.I am considering putting 7 speed shimano index gear levers on instead of the friction ones. Will the Shimano ones fit the Campag braze on brac...

That’s about me Mick, I ride a 56cm or 22Inch.

I like you am 5’11” my legs are perhaps very slightly short for my height. I have several bikes which are all 56 cm or there abouts. With the slopping top tube seat tube length is difficult to determine. My advice is buy the smaller frame you can raise the seat post and put a shorter or longer stem ...

Ah that explains it. Thank you

er, that is a shimano 10s MTB mech. Won't work in a (shimano) 9s system. Perhaps you misunderstood what your tech was saying, or maybe he got it wrong but that RD won't work with a shimano 9s shifter. [most (not all) shimano road 10s mechs will work in a shimano 9s system, but MTB 10s ones definite...

Why?

There's an strip of the Cotswolds running from Tetbury in the west to Clanfield in the east which is surprisingly easy going. For instance: Start in or near Cirencester. (straightforward to drive there from Brum) Head SW out of Cirencester on NCN route 45 to Kemble. South through Oaksey to Hankerto...

A little harsh to say that, I have had bike stolen in the past, you do your best but sometimes even that isn’t enough.

with sugar now inhabiting the role of pantomime villain previously played by carbs and before that saturated fat. I doubt any are quite as evil as their critics insist, but no-one much seems to be putting protein (4 calories per gram, same as carbs) in the devil horns, do they? that is you believe ...

If you want to shed it faster than that up the mileage and reduce sugar. What ever anyone tells you weight loss and gain is calories consumed v calories burned. Incidentally Strava tells you calories used. My wife looks at my Strava account then tries to force feed me the calories I've used. There ...

Massive screen, and I can see it.

If your device is too small to see it properly, buy a bigger one.

It’s difficult fitting a 55 inch tv screen on my handlebars.
