Just pulled that big steel nail out my tyre and fitted a new inner tube. Driving me mad having to keep pushing bike because of a puncture especially with so many bikes whizzing by. You fell like your being picked on when your not. Just a bit of bad luck. Anyway.. Last weekend I used one of...

Nail this morning stuck in tyre. Think it's penatrated rim. 2 mile push to get to work. Nightmare! Bad luck I guess

How's everyone getting on with this weather? Had another puncture last week from a thorn branch on cycle path as it's littered with branches and leaves. The dark is my biggest problem with posts and hand railed barriers. At around 15mph they do appear rather quickly from the dark on the cycle...

Update. They sent me a replacement horn. I promised to send the faulty one back which I must do.

Good how-to on yose kit. Thought I'd share.

I've messaged them.See what they say. It's so embarrassing! Also potentially a big problem if building was evaluated. I guess I could pull plug every morning and push back in on return journey and pull again when I get home but I can't really do that. I've tested the button and cable and fine...

Yose light that came with kit is ok. If I want I can switch on a USB powered one like this https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32953048631.html For £5- £6 its a bargain. Just plug in a powerbank. For interest....... Most power banks have a power on/off button. Who knew? Not me until recently. One...

I'm on a course and parked bike up outside building on an industrial estate against some railings. No bike area with a cover unfortunately. Put bin liners over handlebars and saddle held with elastic bands, but when I came out at 4pm the wind had taken them away and my bike was wet. Taking a...

I've tightened the pedles and grabbing on there is no play tugging and moving. Seems like the bearing ticking type noise. It's worse with the right side than the left. When peddling without effort it's fine but when I add effort it's terrible. Also a clunk on right side like arm is loose. The 1...

My old 1990s mountain bike had a bottom bracket made from ball bearings and shaft that was a bit rusty, so a quick look online I bought a sealed bearing replacement which was cheap ( I know!) Who knew there was such replacements? I never... Think it was around £10 off Amazon. I thought it would...

I think it was up a bit. I've moved down so water don't get in. I dried out and run tests and works fine so who knows

I've gone off the idea of disc breaks for what I'm doing on my bike. They are better if you have good ones I know, but now I've learnt a bit more here I think blocks will work fine for me. I've got the green @guerney tool ordered. Thanks. Here is similar tool in action
