Torm T1 jersey and arm warmers received in just over 24 hours from ordering :D . first impressions are WOW lovely fit and delightful feel on the skin. Took them for a ride and they felt great.

Any decent bike shop will offer to change the gearing of a stock bike foc , to accommodate your style of riding. Same goes for stem & crank length and bar width. Why not ask on this forum for recommendations?

ou know how many roadies scoff at the sort of gearing most people actually require - they're often the ones giving the advice in the LBS. "Nah, you'll be fine in the Peak on a 42/23 lowest gear; just man the f*** up!" I have never experienced this kind of remark from a LBS. If your LBS sp...

When I bought my son's bike from our local Decathlon shop Decathlon are part of a massive French chain (think wal - mart) currently with 9 stores in the UK and looking to grow over here. Currently it would take me about 12 hours to cycle to my nearest Decathlon shop (regardless of gearing). Support...

the Triban's a no brainer as a first road bike I really don't mind banging on about this. The no-brainer for me is that you should never buy your first road bike mail order or online, from a French (or any other nationality) superstore. Go to a local bike shop who's staff ride bikes and get some go...

Hi. Looking ahead to spring. I'm after a truly versatile Jersey that's not covered in logos. I've read lots of good stuff about sportswool - Merino / polyester blends. Does any have any experience or recommendations here? Many thanks. Olon.

i'm struggling to find a supplier for the p5 cargo, does anyone one know what the difference is compared with the p5 spectro, and what about the p7 - which is avialable from sjs?

Mant thanks. Rohloff prices are out of the question. Any ideas on which would take the power better, Sturmey or Shimano?

Hi, I'm considering getting some hub geared / drum braked wheels for a tandem I'm building. (It's vintage so no deraillier mount). It's just going to be for leisure use. Can anyone one advise if a 5 speed Sturmey would be sufficient? Would I be better spending more on an 8 speed hub?. Thanks in adva...

Thanks, yes it is a Brampton headset, it's stamped on one of the parts. Now I need to find a suitable pair of crown forks.

Hi. I've just aquired an old tandem for a restoration project. Stripping it down i've found that the top of the steerer tube is rotten, so I guess I will have to find new forks for it. The headset is something i've never seen before: the head tube is very oversize (although the steerer is normal 1&q...

Hope you don't mind me replying off - topic but I don't have a hearing aid and I've never had gunk in my hair. I do however have a ultrasonic bath and I find it effective on bike parts especially when using carburettor cleaning solution.

Ordered one ysterday, i'll let you know how I get on
