I have a Scott Sub 10 fitted with a Scott rear urban 700c rack. I need a trunk bag to fit this rack and can’t find one. I have asked Scott but their response was very unhelpful. Due to an shoulder arthroscopy operation I can’t use a backpack. The 700c is oddly shaped. Does anyone have any ideas or ...

good spot..its got my Triban and Galaxy on there...

although I am not convinced the Dawes Galaxy had 700c wheels as early as 1982..?? cool that someone has measured one and put it on there though..

I’ve built wheels using all 3 - tk 540, lx 17 and zac 19, of those 3 I have only personally done long loaded tours using the zac 19 and lx 17, both performed faultlessly until worn out, no cracks or premature failures, they are fit for purpose low cost rims. The tk540 is wider than the lx 17 and pr...

You can even get GRAVEL PANNIERS now ??

Can someone remind me .. what's the difference between a gravel bike and a touring bike again ???

Simple answer... m700cap.JPG PS I still have mine :-) Ok its evolved a bit m700evo.JPG 'Tis a fine bicycle - and as well as being able to ride it across gravel, I also notice that you can ride it at night as well and because of the racks and mudguards you can use it for shopping too.... ....h'mmm.....

The second machine seems to have less wheel clearance, any other differences? Different prices? No same bike Brynporth..I suppose I was being grumpy and pointing out that in the early 1990s it was possible to buy a lightweight, fully rigid, bike suited to cross country riding on unsurfaced tracs th...

Anyone aware of any decent 19 mm non-disc brake silver 36 hole 26" mid weight rims ? These any use ? https://www.sjscycles.co.uk/rims-tape/32-ryde-zac-19-rs-de-26-559-mtb-rim-silver/ .... We had an earlier discussion about that Zac 19 rim that might be of use to hoogerbooger .. ? In this threa...

Thanks for further comments. Sounds like LX17 "like for like" is the way to go. I've done a hub-swap before on a wheel, so a rim-swap is do-able. Yes, I run Presta valves, so need to check the hole diameter. My existing LX17's are Presta. If they do come as Schrader sized, then I can make...

good spot niggle..looks v.interesting..

shimano's current products are detailed here https://productinfo.shimano.com/#/ cheers Interesting link..I like the separate "swimlanes" for disc and non-disc versions of the groupset. It does confirm what finch is saying..i.e that the FH-T780 XT non-disc rear hub has gone now. Apart from...

But are those dustcaps available to purchase anywhere? I have a couple of unused ones lurking if you need some. Thanks for the offer, but it was just a question of idle curiosity because I'd tried to locate a similar item for a Acera X hub and didn't find any availability. Out of interest where did...
