I've been using 32mm tyres on my Open 4 ceramic rear for a decade, loaded and unloaded, never had any issues with the tyre squirming including going around bends at speed, the Open 4 is even narrower than the Open pro. I like the Jack Brown 'green' tyre but if you want a bit more protection/meat on ...

Choosing different BCD to your competitors I reckon is in part down to tying in people to buy chainrings only from you or your designated suppliers. Brucey, the mid 70s Dura Ace 7000 pitch 10 c/sets were actually 122mm, the 7500 was the only 151mm cranks Shimano used, slightly later produced than th...

Ironically, the accompanying diagram showed a right-hander. Which kind of illustrates the point I was making. Seems we agree :-) Seems you've mis-read the diagram, more like. You seem to think the 'green route' is a great idea - despite crossing onto the opposite carriageway on a potentially blind ...

Hi I want to improve my cornering, particularly on hairpins on descents. One of the main tips I’ve heard is to never brake through a corner - by the time you start to lean the bike over, you should be completely off your brakes. Makes sense to me. But something is bugging me. I’ve watched a lot of ...

even worse when that free speed is given to people not used to it, don't need it and can't handle the acceleration nor grasp the braking distances of speeds they were unable to attain previously What patronising nonsense. You can use the same argument for keeping people who've never cycled off bicy...

My stance has a massively positive effect on individuals and populations, communities, health, economy, pretty much everything, those pushing for helmets and hi-vis has the complete opposite effect. Misery, pollution, death, land rape, ill health, declining economy, to not ban helmets and hi-vis an...

e-bikes/e-scooters should be limited to 12mph, this is more than adequate, it will also increase range and not reduce the users ability to go faster under their own steam. 'Free' speed/propulsion and how this affects the way people think seems to have been completely missed here, there's no surpris...

One particular poster seems to think: ... and as CUK normalises the wearing of helmets and hi-vis with their continual displaying of helmets in their photos and events and by not condemning helmet wearing are also socially irresponsible and complicit. Whereas actually: https://www.cyclinguk.org/cam...

My 2001 Passat which has sat in my 1970s block garage since Oct '17 fits in no problem, in fact I can put bikes down the drivers side with the car in there though I have the wing mirrors in either side to maximize space with it being a storage locker :lol: The width - 1740mm, is 5.6cm less than a b...

Those of us that don't/never have worn helmets are essentially the robust data that makes banning helmets a logical solution that should take the choice out of the populations hands. If you chuck in a ban on hi-vis then we know that will massively increase the amount of time police and government b...

My nearest Aldi has no bike racks or indeed anything to which a bike can be fastened. Neither does Morrisons nor Aldi. Tesco does. Opposite for me, the newly opened Aldi near me has them but are out the way, LIDL has them, Saisbuty's has a couple, Morrisons has quite a few, the massive Tesco has ze...

NDS arm included right?
