DAWES Jack. Note that this bicycle uses mostly standard bicycle parts - such as an A-Headset fork-steerer-tube and the handle-post uses an A-Headset clamp. (Unlike Dahon threaded fork-steerer.) The supplied chromoly fork had 74mm spacing. I bought an A-Headset carbon fork with 100mm spacing on...

I hand-built some wheels for my folder by fitting a carbon fork with 100 mm spacing and using MTB hubs along with wide rims and appropriate spokes (Halo BMX); I went 32 spokes on the front and 36 on the rear. This was to fit 10-speed instead of 7-speed and also use disk brakes. SJS - 20 inch...

You're probably right. However, the cyclist didn't practice good roadcraft, demonstrated by the clue-less and care-free pedestrians having to jump out of the way in every direction, in order to clear themselves from the rider's path. The IAM (Institute of Advanced Motoring) advises motorists...

I wonder if it would be possible to make a diy heat-proof charging enclosure using a wire basket (shopping basket, trolley, etc) lined with fire bricks.

If two people walk into each other @ say 2.5 mph - they'll just bounce off each other and remain standing, no harm done, sorries all round. If two people run into each other @ say 5 mph - they'll bounce off each other and probably fall over and get bruised. Ouch. Footballers. If I cycle into a...

Looks like school going-home time. Younglings are concentrating on going home. Your bike is silent, they weren't aware of you. They were in the wrong but you were going too fast. You should have antipated the movement and been prepared to stop. Beep your horn at the wrong people and they'll...

Debunked - Lift Battery Fire Apparently happened in China during 2021. The battery got hot whilst charging in the man's flat. He was using the lift to go to the ground floor and take it outside to cool-down. I reckon he hadn't let it cool down enough before charging - an error people with...

Todmorden is a town in the Pennines. The enclosing hills have very steep slopes, however, most of the habitation of the town and surrounding townships/villages is on the flat. Really several machines are required: One for family duties - shopping, kindergarten, and errands - hub-driven...

Buy two SKS Veloflex 65 and use the second rear one on the front.

@tomoufc I've a fat-tyred mini ebike for sale. Perfect for canal-paths. Send me a pm and we can parley. I can bring it up to you in Tod (from Brighouse).

Why didn't you re-set the gears to a lower one before setting off? (Change gear, lift back wheel, operate crank)

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...

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.

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...

Lovely build. Is there a torque arm on the front drop-outs?

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...
