These are about the best I’ve ever used.

I’ve decided to stick with the Fulcrums that came with the bike for now, as they really are very good. When they need replacing, I’ll look at the options again.

are the chainrings the exact correct ones, fitted correctly, and undamaged? That is what I'd be most suspicious of. cheers From what I can see both chainrings are in good condition. The large chainring is installed facing out, but I can only guess that the small one is installed correctly. How do I...

As soon as the tyre beds in dry ( no sealant )and you’ve left it for a few hours ( which you have ) deflate the tyres, get the valve cores out, and put the sealant in, then re-core the valve, inflate the tyre, roll the wheels a bit ( with no weight on them ) then leave them inflated and look for any...

You have to remember that particularly in recent years the most important thing about a bike for many riders is the brand. Yes, there is a lot of that, for sure. Bikes are a status symbol and some people wouldn't be seen dead on a bike that cost less than £1500. Again I’d agree with that, to an ext...

That’s quite right

Buy the 920, it’s a lot more bike for a few more quid. If they hadn’t run out of medium size, I’d have done just that. It’s a superb bike for the money. Not sure. Slightly low grade rear derailleur. Expensive cassette. 1x drivetrain Unnecessary air fork which needs servicing frequently Tyres are av...

and of course there is talk of reducing the 2m rule to fall in line with WHO guidance to allow people to actually return to work in situations that are not a huge shed or open office area. The ‘2 meter rule’ has been a real bug bear of mine from the outset. That figure was plucked out of the air, s...

There are a lot of very wobbly novices about at the moment. The trick is to spot them in time, and give them a bit more room.

I think once the gyms are allowed to re open, the numbers of regular cyclists will revert to where it was before all this kicked off. I’ve never seen anything like the recent weeks, in terms of people on a vast array of different bikes. I suspect that some will definitely keep it up, but a lot of th...

‘Gravel’ bikes are essentially ruggedised road bikes. So if the majority of your time is spent on trails, and going over really rough uneven surfaces, you’d probably be better off with a MTB to be fair. Most gravel bikes don’t fair well on anything rougher / tougher than a bit of a field, or a fire ...

I wouldn’t worry too much about that, it’s just a small snick in the rubber, make sure there’s nothing sharp embedded in it that will work it’s way through though.

I had heard Swinley had re opened. That’s excellent news.
