A friend of a friend appeared at my front door the other day asking for help with improving the braking on his Marin Bolanis Ridge 1 entry level mtb. It’s his everyday transport and it has a rather ‘fruity’ home brew e-bike conversion done by a friend of his to help him navigate the hills round Hay ...

Hi Paul,

That sounds perfect. Thanks. I'll PM you now.

Cheers,
Nick

My neighbour's teenage son has discovered the delights of what I’d call ‘getting air. Unfortunately I’m not sure he’s quite nailed the landings. As a result his front wheel is very Pringle shaped. It’s a 27.5 WTB i25 tubeless disc brake rim on an unbranded hub. 100x15mm through axle with a 6 bolt di...

Hi PaulE,

Message just sent.

I'd forgotten about these and found them in a cupboard. As Five Tens appear to be on offer acoross the Mike Ashley empire does anyone want these for £25 posted to mainland UK?

cheers,
Nick

just another example of great service. I called Carradice at the end of last week, asking to buy a replacement leather strap for my Brompton bag after I'd lost one. During the call I mentioned to the person that I'd been passed over to, that I was a repeat customer, and that it was nice to have the ...

Excellent thanks both.

I've managed to get the route into Garmin Connect using myrouteapp.com, after Google maps and mapstoGPX.com didn't work.

It's great, and is just what I need.

and a Garmin Camper sat nav is on the pre-departure shopping list

thanks again.

A bit of a long shot. We've off to a wedding in southern Italy in May in an old camper van which is vaguely exciting but compared to modern vehicles underpowered and slow, although driving at 50mph (on the flat, less on the hills) means we get to enjoy the drive :grin: Does anyone know of any route ...

It struck me whilst I was putting the finishing touches to this (iteration of this) bike build is that we live in a golden age for availability of niche bike parts that allow us to achieve builds that I/ we could only have dreamed about many/ afew years ago. Whilst i know it won't be to everybody’s ...

now sold.

I bought this from someone on here a few years back. It's a great bit of kit, but it struggles to hold my supersized "I'm a cold sleeper" sleeping bag. :grin: It's not super clear from the pics but it both of the bar spacers are present. £22 posted to mainland UK. https://live.staticflickr...

For sale is my raw finish 2-speed Brompton. It's an S2L model Purchased new in 2019 from On Your Bike in london. It got used for the occassional commute, alongside my fixed wheel Airnimal. Getting fed up with the trains and reverting to commuting by motorbike and then Covid hit, resulting in my work...

not wishing to thread hijack - but the 2-speed 'ideal for bromptonpacking' Brommie that's in the background of Rich's pic - behind my green lunar solo will be for sale forthwith, as working from home means it's surplus to requirements

After stupidly busy work week, I'm looking forwrd to tomorrow.

To celebrate Global fat bike day, I'll be taking the fat bike to the glorious 8 miles of sand that is Cefn Sidan Beach, for a blustery seaside potter.

Ours is with A-Plan (now Howden appaarently). I have to list all bikes, but i just tell them what it is, when I add one, and what the value is. A recent bike build of an 2001 Cannondale Headshok F&F into a 'gravel' bike, which cost £1,000 in parts to build, was insured for an extra £11.00 on the...

Yes please, can you pm pics and payment details
cheers,
Nick

Now sold

Yeah, ok

I'll reply to your pm later this evening if that's ok?

Cheers,
Nick

That Moulton brings me much joy, although as a current owner of 2 F frame '60s & '70s Moultons (a mk1 with a sturmy 5 speed hub and a mk3), and as former owner of a custom painted Brigestone Moulton I'm definately biased :grin: I collected the Bridgestone from the Moulton factory, and Shaun Moul...

i think so!
They were meant as an everyday /touring shoe i think. Sole is failry rigid but not massively so. Becky cetainly had no problem walking in them the one time she tried them...

I found these in the cupboard whilst having a clear out. They were bought a number of years ago for Mrs Dr Nick. I think they were used once, and then health stuff intervened in her riding of bikes for a while, and they were forgotten about. As new condition with cleats. No original box. The label s...
