Had another play with disc tonight and I think it's ok. Biggest problem is they are definitely junk knock-offs. Getting shards of metal and plastic breaking off. I will burn through pads and get money out of them before upgrading. Ordered some fork straps ( link on other thread here) for forks...

Ok. No. I haven't got it correct. I can't see the pads so guessed. Ill have a look tonight again. It's supposed to be ⅓ / ⅔ pad showing but I can't see anything much.

Mine are. Definitely knock-offs calipers. I'll upgrade to hydraulic at some point. Ride in was good though.

Update. They are on. Run out of time so I need to check adjustment and fit mudguard. I'll update this thread in a week but anyone wanting to fit discs to a 20 year old mountain bike with 25.4mm steerer ( 1inch) then copy what I've done. You will need forks linked in this thread and a bearing...

Is handlebars a worry then? Mine have covers plus I always have a florescent jacket and a t-shirt on. Can't see that would puncher. Brake levers maybe. My mate put one of those through a old boys leg back in the 80s. Lot's of swerving before they collided

Just for interest. https://youtube.com/shorts/BKU7HU0SoqM?si=le5fvF-ma7r3P-3t I think banging my head is my biggest worry on a bike

Do I need a spoke nipple tool. One that's like a screwdriver which will work along with the spoke key? Just looking now and don't know what I need. Maybe buy a set?

Update. Wheel rim finally arrived and looks great. That's just over 3 weeks to deliver, but how they managed to keep postage at £6 will remain a mystery. I bought from https://www.tradeinn.com/bikeinn/en/ryde-andra-10-disc-rim/140833778/p So hopefully I'll be able to do a straight swap with...

Any option for a rack battery? I have a step through ( girls bike:) ) I want to convert

Update. Ordered a new wheel rim on the 27th February. As of today 18th match it's getting ready to cross to UK I think. Taking ages. Another update. On other thread my 25.4mm 1 inch steerer bearing is on it's way. That's taking ages as well. When it all arrives I want to get it all put...

No. Wasn't a Brompton.

@saneagle Yeah. Nail bars. Turkish barbers, vape shops. All doing very well with no customers

I visited my local e bike shop for the first time and found it bizzare. First thought was it's closed walking up to the door. All in darkness but the door opened with a push and in I went. Bikes on display and most were over £2000 and one was just shy of £5000. Found a small folding bike for...

@matthewslack Here is link. Would you use a battery like this? https://amzn.eu/d/93P5z0z
