    Is Sustrans fit for purpose?

    Disclaimer: although I've ridden on lots of Sustrans routes across the country it is still a tiny fraction of the total... Sustrans has bothered me for quite a while. It has stewardship of, potentially, an amazing network of routes for cyclists, pedestrians and horses. Run properly it would...

    Has anyone adapted a cheap turbo trainer to fit a Brompton? How?

    I've got several Bromptons and potentially an n+1 arriving soon.... I have purchased a cheapy turbo trainer, but am stalled a bit at how to make one of them fit the other.... I can dedicate a modified machine to it (mods must be removable though) I was thinking something to drop the axles down...

    Through axle fork - through axle dynamo hub does not fit

    Got my new front wheel from spa cycles which has a PD8-X dynamo hub. Not sure if it doesn't fit well or if I don't need to use the adaptor? It seems without the adaptor, the hub fits fine...but once you add the adaptor, it adds a few mm's and doesn't sit snugly in the fork! Any comments would...

    Where would you fit your back light if you had one of these saddle bags?

    I like the look of these saddle bags from this fleabay seller. http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/londoncraftwork/m.html?item=302115952296& hash=item46578396a8%3Ag%3AzCAAAOSwUEVYEObj&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2562 On another thread I started, someone mentioned that you can fit a light to this sort of bag...

    Any recommendations for a bike fit in Nottingham area?

    Hi My stupid story is that I did my first sportive (100km) 2 weeks ago around liecestershire. I couldn't finish it due to knee pains (only 3 miles from the end)....my own fault as I went from my normal 4 mile commute to 60 miles with no training. Cue rueful looks from the medics when I...

    Fit and fat

    I fall into the fit but overweight category. Looking around I see quite a lot people who are way fitter than the average population but are also overweight. I wonder if this is a relatively new phenomenon with some interesting health outcomes? It does demonstrate that trips to the gym or...

    Frame fit pumps, realistic maximum pressure?

    I have always carried and rarely used a frame fit pump on my lighweight 1980s steel bike. (These are the sort that you have to hold on the Presta valve while you pump.) I have bought a new seatpost pouch to carry my puncture kit and thought it about time I checked if the kit worked. I put the...

    Bike Fit

    I am in a bit of a dilemma. I really enjoy riding my road bike, but it is becoming an increasing pain.....literally I get pains in my shoulders about 25 miles in, numbness in the nether region after about 10 miles and pins and needles in my hands about 8 miles of riding. I have tried to...

    Can I fit this rear mech – advice appreciated?

    Replacing the rear mech on my Galaxy Ultra. Currently has a Shimano 9 speed RD-M772 SGS top normal shadow derailleur fitted. I mistakenly bought the RD-M771 SGS top normal.:blush: Can I fit the one I have bought? What are the differences? If I can fit it, any difference in the way it has to be...

    Taking a bike which is too small for me out on a ride

    Planned on doing the London to Windsor loop this weekend but my bike's somewhere in Kent. My housemate has her bike handy and said I could take it on the ride. Only problem is the bike is fit for her -she's 5'6, I'm 6'1. Reckon there'll be any bother with me taking a bike which is not the...

    Best fit

    Was watching some GCN vids on YouTube earlier and they were demonstrating how to get in an aero position to counter headwinds. Anyway it occured me that even though my bike frame is a good fit, I perhaps don't have the saddle in the correct place to enable me to get down properly. Would raising...

    Making a rack fit an Apollo double bouncer

    My sister gave me a Halfords Apollo bike to commute on, I used it for a few weeks with a rucksack for my gear. But really I wanted a rack to fit panniers on to avoid a sweaty back. I spotted a Topeak super touring rack at Halfords for £22. This said that it fitted any bike. However, it quickly...

    Bike fit

    When you get fitted for a bike do you have to have a bike in question. I've always felt that my bike was too small for me, and since fitting a compact bar feels even smaller. I picked up the compact bar as I wanted a shorter drop, I didn't think about the reach. I've been looking at replacing...

    How to Fit new Barrel Adjuster

    Apologies if this is a daft question, but is it straight-forward to fit a new barrel adjuster on the rear mech? My plan is to undo the cable clamp, remove the nipple from the end of the cable, unscrew the barrel adjuster all the way out of the mech, slide the cable backwards and out of the...

    Given up trying to buy winter boots that fit

    After my 3rd attempt i am giving up and just going with overshoes :cursing: The joys of having wide feet mean i cant get sizing right , they can be warm as toast but tightness across the toes means they end up uncomfortable . Rant over and breathe !

    Will "ass savers" fit if using a Toepeak wedge bag ?

    Broken hearted:ohmy:.............I went out wearing my smart new wind proof jacket and GOT SOME MUCKY SPOTS ON IT !!! Those "ass savers" seem a good idea but looking at the web site I get the impression that they won't fit if I have a saddle bag attached. Has anyone tried it ? Failing that I may...
