I'll be there on sunday, probably with the brood in tow.. Will swing by Dave to say thanks for the ticket and James to say Hi... Any enterprising person selling winter tyres? could do with some marathon winters with added studs for next weeks commute ;-)

Other than a light 'graunch' noise when I spin it backwards, mine has been fine. Currently on about 400 miles with road and light trail riding. Yes, there is a slight drag but nowhere near as bad as you seem to have

In which case come and have a go on my Transeo; white frame, no throttle, proper mountain bike design with front suspension... ;-) Hope to see you on sunday at the show

I can happily recommend the Cytronex approach as I have had one for the last 6 months. I bought a GT Transeo 1.0 as a commuter bike and for dragging a kiddie trailer around and its been solid - bike with kit is light (well, compared to others) at around 18Kg and it does exactly what I want; a...

CANNOT UNSEE!!! Shudders.....

Just to add to the debate - I wouldn't take a kiddie trailer around London but a lot of the B roads around here (where we end up with the arrogant lycra crowd being 4 abreast) I wouldn't worry to much about. Otherwise I have the faintly ridiculous problem of having to load a car up with two...

Just bought our first kiddie trailer (Chariot Cougar2) but will stick a couple of the 1W rear LED lights onto the handlebars when I am out and about - even during the daytime. Most of the roads around the village will probably be ok but will be mainly using it around Epping Forest or on other...

Small children means that I have unsocial hours! Looking forward to it - pre kids we used to go to the outdoor and active show's over in Earls Court so this should be fun. Esp as my eldest got a Strider Balance bike for Christmas.....

Looks like a standard sack truck with a really long bar stem ;-)

You will be amazed how quick you learn to move your heel first - after that it becomes second nature.. Set the tension really loose - there is no need to have it strong and you want it so that whenever you move your heel out (not up and down) that it disengages.. Trust me - its easier to do it...

Heh - when I used to downhill some 20 years ago I used to use cleats as it kept the bike attached to me :D Wouldnt swap - first thing I did when I got my new bike was to swap out the pedals ;-) If you are serious and want to make it really easy then have a look at CrankBros Eggbeaters - my...

Wot Cakey said.. I have the same pedals on both my bikes and a pair of Specialised MTB trainer-type shoes - bought a new pair of cleats last week but if your shoe already has the holes then you dont need the backplate. (random photo nicked off the web) Do them up tight so that they cant...

I'll be up tomorrow with kids in tow; will try to swing by and say hello ;-)

Got the same problem with some of the roads in Epping Forest - the roads have cracked so there are 2-4" holes running 90degrees to the curb which forces you at least into the middle of the road... Most of the time the other drivers are ok but there have been one or two who scare the bejesus out...

It was a Shimano invention 'back in the day'.. Biopace - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia was also on the first bike that I imported from Canada when I first got into MTB's. I was fit then so not sure it made a whole heap of difference ;-) Still have some spares in the toolbox ;-)

Welcome, fellow fat man! I'm about the same weight as you - The Kalkhoff's are a good bet as per Tim's recommendation. I've gone a different route - you can read my updates Electric Bikes Community - Pedelecs UK - TobyAnscombe - Blogs Basically I'm using an assisted electric bike to try to...

Just colour - they use them on the BadBoys so that the whole bike is black... Whats wrong with yours Blanche?

Paul - in the same boat as you although I had a different set of criteria.. The one thing that everyone told me was to get out there and try as many bikes as possible. I would take John up on his offer try a couple. Use the links off the main page to find some other dealers and try their...

Erm, you do know why the bikes are white dont you? Its to remember a cyclist who has been knocked down and killed... While it might stop someone taking your bike there is a slight chance that you would be lynched when you unlocked it and rode it away... Just a though!

That is basically the bike that is being built for me at the moment.. But why on earth would I buy 2nd hand and save myself £100? Somehow I doubt that it will sell.....
