Can't you just take a small, soft, brass brush to those nipples? Followed by a smear of silicone or something?

So, I've had a hard month: Boiler repair (new PCB and transformer) and service: £288.00 Car service and MOT: £217.92 Annual parking permit for my local country park: £47.50 New tumble dryer: £279.00 All I can say is, thank flip I don't have a ridiculous bike that needs a £1k annual service...

Well, winters coming and I have no garage so I only work on bikes in the summer months outside in the back garden. So you did me a favour really :D On the plus side, the new tumble dryer is installed and all my clothes are now warm and dry!

You lucky, lucky, b*******. I love a polished aluminium frame, me. A steal at 120. Fortune favours the brave as they say, meanwhile I've been sat here clutching my pearls worrying about spending a laughable 150. Oh well

Damn it, that's sold now. I thought the auction ended tomorrow afternoon. I have been prevaricating and was thinking of putting in a last second bid. Oh well, I doubt I'll get a better opportunity, I'd better resign myself to be happy with what I have, which is a suspension seatpost rather...

Yep, 26" wheels, disk mount, square taper BB, 1 1/8" parallel steerer tube, room for a big chain ring, rear suspension, large size (or medium/large), room for a downtube battery. I'm already out of disposable income this month and had to put the tumble dryer on a credit card. I can just...

Oh boy, perfect, and he's willing to post it. Couldn't come at a worse time. This month alone, Boiler packed up (new PCB and transformer required), car MOT and service, yesterday the tumble dryer finally gave up the ghost, I ordered a new one last night. The last thing I need right now is a...

That's incredible. First it gets shipped from China to the UK, then it gets taken by lorry from Argos warehouse (somewhere like Basingstoke or whatever) to Wick. Then the lorry has to make the return journey. So now say you were desperate for that bike and drove 271 miles to Wick and back. How...

I've noticed a new feature on Argos, if it says Out of Stock and you click 'Change Store' and if there are none near you, you can click on 'Happy to Travel' and it will tell you where the nearest one is (if they have any), in my case that was Minehead. 24v, no gears and not folding but...

Interesting. There is a Carrera Intercity disc 8 (cable disks - easy fix) on Facebook right now for £130. 40 miles from my house.

Still available in Wiltshire.

I enjoy reading your updates, so thanks for posting them. I'm curious, what is it about this little bike that you like so much? Is it the 20" wheels, the fact that it folds, or what? It makes me wonder how much fun a fully powered little folder would be.

FFS, we've all been waiting for news on you fitting the new controller and now you go and get sick again. Well, thanks very much you inconsiderate bar steward.

Woosh and Wisper are both UK based. Both sell excellent, well priced products. Both have an excellent after-sales service. Both are friends of this forum and both regularly post here.

Be careful, it's easy to strip threads on this job.

Chains? We don't need no stinking chains. https://www.swindonadvertiser.co.uk/news/24554851.child-illegal-e-bike-drugs-arrested-north-swindon/ Yet another nasty bike with no chain. I bet the brakes aren't up to much either. The local police keep banging on about stickers, my conversion does...

And you met the brief very well.

Good knowledge sir, as usual. And you're going to want to dump the shifter/brake lever combo things anyway, because you're going to want to fit hydraulic brakes (not negotiable). I like a Shimano Revoshifter, and you only need one because electric bikes don't need three chainwheels.

There you go, I never even knew they made 8 speed freewheels. I should buy that Trek for £80 OR BEST OFFER. Strip it down for spares. It's in Leeds though, I live in the soft south. Then there's the wife's reaction *sigh*

er...that Trek could be a mistake in the seller's description. I have the exact same bike and it has a 8 speed cassette. Not that that really matters. Just buy a 7 speed freewheel, or order a cassette conversion kit instead. These older 26" mountain bikes make great conversions for...
