Well yes and no. The figure was total number of cyclist deaths in a ten year period, but it matters not a jot what percentage of the total number of cyclists that represents, because they’re still dead. Will you say the same about the 70,000 deaths in the UK each year linked to physical inactivity?...

That’s manufacturer tolerances for you. If it were just that then there would be many more instances of new parts that just don't work with one another. I rather think that there must be a slight mismatch for it to work reliably at all even when the parts are new. That being the case there is no re...

The GWR service from Paddington is the one a lot of people doing the LEJOG use to get to Penzance. if you got a bike space, at ‘RAB’ time, you did well.

Keep a pocket full of ninja rocks handy, just in case.

You can buy adjustable stems of course. This one for instance. https://www.tredz.co.uk/.System-EX-Adjustable-Stem_24665.htm 24665-47730_1_Supersize.jpgWhen you're happy with the angle, buy a fixed one to suit. Morning Mick Thank you , thats a brillant idea. If you can find someone who's got one of ...

Oooh! Discussion has descended into calls for people to SU and Godwins could also be applied. Signs the thread has nearly run its course. Let's change things up a bit. Instead of discussing the narrow area of trans sport, let's widen it to how trans fit into society in general and a side order of t...

“Little Hollands” :shock: The Netherlands had the worst death rates for cyclists, in Europe last year. based upon what?

It depends on the kid doesn’t it?

“Little Hollands” The Netherlands had the worst death rates for cyclists, in Europe last year.

that is a pretty good illustration of how a worn chain imposes ever more harmful stresses on the sprockets. In fact I suppose that was comparable to a singlespeed in many respects. FWIW in a singlespeed the chain soon wears so that the chain is loading the teeth in a less than perfect fashion; in p...

First one came through from a friend on Facebook :- My dad just had an iPhone delivered to his house by uk mail which he hadn’t ordered. 10 mins later this guy in DPD uniform came to the door saying they made a mistake and needed the phone back. We call the police and he left. The police arrived an...

my point was in good part, there is some mismatch between even new parts. cheers That’s manufacturer tolerances for you. If it were just that then there would be many more instances of new parts that just don't work with one another. I rather think that there must be a slight mismatch for it to wor...

The two most critical, and easily adjusted geometry parameters for comfort and handling / aero and efficiency are the stack and reach measurements. A lot of pro riders actually spec bikes that would be too small for them ordinarily, then put super long stems ( 150 and 160 mm stems aren’t unusual in...
