thanks Is it worth buying Muc off cleaner or is washing up liquid and hot water just as good?

I have a left over tin of this . Would it be wise/effective to use for a quick clean of my bike ? Brush on hose off

Cheers I have complete wheel . The rim is true just a little rust

i want a 3 speed hub fitted to a single speed rear wheel 26 1/4 what would a rough price for a cycle shop to do this be ? 40 spoke wheel

Thanks i don't own a smartphone but do have a gps speeedp

Would a basic gps cycling computer with a trip also work for measuring distance walked? Try ing to measure length of a path running around a local lake ( not a cycle path)

I went for a kryptonite evoulution 4 from amazon for £45

I was also considering the kryptonite evolution ? Halfords do it for £48

cheers gold standard definetly

Thanks what do you think of abus granit seem to be able to pick them up for around £70 -£80

Looking a d lock for a 2k ebike anyone recommend one from wiggle etc around £50 -£100 please

they seem to come with with the fixing studs either centered or off set . What difference does it make and which is better ?

Thanks i,ve ordered some of those to try

1954 raleigh which has vintage type rubber brake blocks fitted . These need replacing can i fit the longer modern 70mm instead (26" steel rims ) Or will it not improve things enough to bother (just buy new vintage style ones ) I realise main problem is ancient steel rims but new blocks are cheap
