    Nasty pothole

    Mass in running order graphic (illuminating) from ICCT European Vehicle Marketing Statistics Pocketbook. The recent progression of road potholes is astonishing - they are appearing everywhere. Also general degradation of surfaces. Larger SUV and EVs and LGVs obviously to blame, but is there...

    2022 On One Scandal 29er with TSDZ2B conversion?

    If lucky - the under-bottom-bracket cable guide could be filed down to fit between the tsdz2 casing; or, feed short lengths of cable shroud through the gap and then feed the inner-cables through. Alternatively - by pass the bottom bracket completely and cable-tie to frame.

    2022 On One Scandal 29er with TSDZ2B conversion?

    Tsdz2 comes with 48-tooth chain ring mounted to INSIDE of 110mm-bcd spider (outside of spider has chain guard). If chain-line needs to be corrected (outboard) - the chain ring can be mounted to the OUTSIDE of spider.. You might need to buy a new 34T/36T/38T/40T 110bcd Narrow-Wide Chainrings to...

    Build spec by committee, might that include you?

    Hiya. You've appeared to have ended up in the weeds here. Let's start again... 700cc Triban: What gears? 8-speed, 9-speed? What range? 11-32t? Carbon frame, aluminium? Steel? How heavy are you? Do you need chunky off-road tyres? Do you use panniers and a rack or a rucksack? Really any...

    True a wheel. Bike shop or DIY?

    To be quite frank - all you really need is a spoke-key, something to hold the wheel in = upside down fork, and a good ear to detect similarly tensioned spokes. Give it a whirl on an old wheel - it's quite therapeutic and pretty cool when you've help make one of mankind's strongest structures :cool:

    True a wheel. Bike shop or DIY?

    If you only have one bicycle and aren't really that interested in diy and maintenance - then use the lbs. Otherwise: Roger Musson Wheel Building book, Spokey nipple tool, Spoke tension meter Take the tyre off, slacken all the spoke nipples. tighten up those on the short spoke side until...

    E-Bikes: The phenomenon, The Problem.

    No - this appears to be a disingenuous example of the forthcoming "property apocalypse". This is an housing association-style property deal. Total value of property is GBP375K. 50% of that is £187.5K. The buyer enters into a joint-ownership contract with the housing association. The value of...

    Illegal ebike crackdown Coventry

    I think escooters are great - they should be legalised. A great advantage is that you can scoot along whilst having a fag and be sociable all at the same time. And I don't know why you are making a personal comment on someone else's weight, consider that they might be larger if they drove a...

    E-Bikes: The phenomenon, The Problem.

    Alright. Where are the figures? How many of these e-bikes are there? Whats the estimated total distance travelled on them in a year? How many KSIs occurred over that year caused by these e-bikes? The only issue I see is that "tykes" are seemingly running amok on them and that there aren't...

    Help! What COMPLETELY LEGAL Ebike will get me up hills?

    How I converted my bike to a trekking/comfort bike

    This video is quite illuminating: Jones H Bar Video For me the bit starting around 0:40 is the best - being able to stand on the pedals and using the swept-back bars like wheel-barrow handles. Also the bit where he talks about having fun - like when he was a kid. I like the concept so much...
