I'm not flogging it, I'm just repeating what they call it.

Looks like the rollers are 'titanium material'.

So the chain fits the OPs request for something that is rust resistant then?

restricted more, back to 12mph top speed, Why not limit bicycles to 12mph? You could do it by legally limiting the gearing so that 12mph required a cadence of (say) 100. Slower is safer, what's not to like? You did of course completely miss the point of using an electric bike for a commute, it's no...

YABAN make a high end titanium chain which has chromium carbide coated pins and chromium molybdenum alloy plates so should be extremely resistant to corrosion, it comes in 11 speed that I know of and works with Campagnolo and Shimano drivetrains AFAIK.

Mini Vs, I use TRP CX9s, they are amazing brakes, you will not regret buying them and worth the money, great clearance for wide tyres and guards.

restricted more, back to 12mph top speed, there's absolutely no need for faster, all the additional power/speed does is increase average speed a bit and subsequently shorten range, also increased speed/power decreases safety. We've already seen the evidence that the existing speeds are too much and ...

Honestly never had any issues with clipping into one sided SPD, like most things you just get used to flipping round which you still need to do with double sided and like straps and clips before you just punt it round and in your foot goes. Had the Dura Ace and Ultegra, sold them both as seemed to b...

One butter tub of topline 2000 synthetic grease. Supposed to be the same as Shimano premium synthetic grease. Bought as part of a pail split here some time ago. Was originally 461g, probably 350 or more left. Two free grease impregnated London edition top trump cards included! I was using these to ...

I used to own a pair of these on a former bike and they were great. For some reason I think I sold them with the bike sale, thinking I would buy the Shimano ES600, which I never got round to doing, as they were getting a bit of a slating due to the changes made over the a600s. So, needing some new ...

Replied via email, now sorted but thank you

thanks for all replies. Spoke bed wasn't damaged before, the wheels are cleaned fairly meticulously and regularly so no cracks before and nothing around any of the others. I'm sorely tempted to keep running it until it properly goes but may as well just salvage what I can and be safe, the run down t...

How can you tell if what you are applying is actually doing any good? You can't. A rusty frame proves that whatever you did doesn't prevent rust, but a non rusty frame is just a source of anecdote. Take a guess and act accordingly, what's so hard to understand about others guessing differently? Tha...

I never understood why people used rust inhibitors if the bike was good enough to be looked after, what aspect of use allows water to ingress to such a degree that rust is going to present a problem? I rode a Raleigh Record Sprint as a commuter, utility, touring plus weekend bike for 11 years in all...

Never had a pulled spoke before so. This wheel suffered a walloping into a deep depression at a mini rbt, was focusing more on the 40 ton HGV bearing down on me from the left and just didn't see the grey disguised gouge in the grey road so I hit the edge of it with my full weight on the saddle :x Ma...

If you're still looking then I can offer a Mavic Open Pro wheel with possibly a Shimano 105 hub. It's currently in storage though and from memory I can't be positive if the wheel's front or rear, but if it is a rear then it will have the 9/10 freehub seeing as it's very modern. If you're interested...
