Open to the air at all times, but sheltered from rain. So probably damp for about 3-4 months of the year and warm/hot and dry for the rest. They seem to manage OK. Possibly not always. I kept my bike under a tin roof open on three sides and the rubber seals on my hubs disintegrated. I took it into ...

I am 4ft 10 inches and arthritic (age 62) and now ride a teenagers Frog flat bar bike. I prefer the Frog range because they scale the crank length down with the frame size and for my arthritic knees this is essential and also gives me more power on the down stroke. There are too many small bikes wi...

I don't want to revisit the charity conversion debate again; as I said higher up it's water under the bridge (and Storm Christoph is causing enough of that as it is.) Speaking as a taxpayer, I'm really pleased to hear that the taxman is screwing down on this. I hope it's evidence that the whole cha...

So I'm wondering whether this is a broad ruling, or relates specifically to something about Cycling UK. TTBOMK it's the Chapter 3.18 limits: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/charities-detailed-guidance-notes/chapter-3-gift-aid#chapter-318-benefits-received-by-donors-and-connected-persons ...

Neither, is the answer. I've just finished three years as a CUK trustee and more specifically as a member of the audit committee, and Gift Aid has been a recurring matter of debate and review throughout that time. Under review pretty much from the time it was granted then. It's hard to see how this...

Cycle Trailer to be used with either Brompton or full-size touring bike. I am thinking of purchasing a trailer. The aim is to use it when I do my Dr. Bike and cycle maintenance work. One thing I was thinking of doing was to fit a pair of wheels on the side at the rear so that I could wheel it like t...

I think some of you miss understand my reasoning. I work sometime as cycle mechainic, I need to carry certain tool in manner to aid quick identification and avoid the loss of tool by not having allocated safe place. I also to reduce mass and weight by not carrying duplicate tool that duplicate func...

I wrap mine in a bit of old cloth tied together with a bit of velcro tape The cloth is then used to wipe things (including oil off fingers) if I have a breakdown, then replaced with a clean piece when I get home. No rattling around in my "water bottle" tool holder I think some of you miss...

I had the same problem with my 6 speed with the newer style gear levers. There's a good YouTube video in solving the problem. It involves dismantling the gear shift lever and sandpapering a sticky plastic component- took me about 30mins and no problems since. Yes I have seen that at https://www.you...

some lube is usually better than no lube, but too much just seems to attract the dirt. I'm not sure I know of a 'perfect solution' here but one thing I have been considering is to use an additional plastic guard over this part, eg zip-tied in position, such that it won't interfere with how it moves...
