Removing screw indrop bar end plugs
Hi there
Need to replace bar tape, but having problems removing these bar end plugs. Have removed screw, but doesn't budge! Do I just need to apply more force or am I missing a trick? Can't find anything about them online! Thanks for any suggestions.

Re: Spa cycles Caldar leather saddle
Brilliant, thanks very much for all your advice! I've loved my current Brooks but haven't been as fastidious as I should have been with looking after it and it's now a shadow of its former self. So was just think of the spa saddles are probably v similar.

chain not sitting properly on chainring (brompton)
Hi there My Brompton hasn't been riding very smoothly lately, when peddling sounds and feels clunky. I had a new bottom bracket fitted only a year ago, but after looking at the bike this morning I'm wondering if it might be the chain and chainring (see pic)? I had it on the bike stand and when turni...

Re: Thorn voyager tandem pannier rack options
Thanks very much for your advice. I've actually got an old Tortec expedition rack. Seems to fit okay at the hub. I've ordered a couple of 350mm stays from SJS. Would anyone know where to get replacement rack screws to attach the rack to the bike at the eyelets on bottom of rack and the stays? I gues...

Thorn voyager tandem pannier rack options
Hi there
Can anyone suggest any options for a pannier rack for a thorn voyager childback tandem? It'll need longer stays due to shape. Thorn suggested their own rack but wanted to explore cheaper options.
Thanks for any advice.
