fitting

Decided to fit my Nokian Gazzaloddi's for the winter Friday last When putting on the tyres,I noticed that my rear thru axle bolt was not going through completely,so off to the shop I go. We discovered that I had stripped the end threads of the rear mech hanger,so that's why it wasn't going...

I splashed out on a new fork from Planet X (and when I say 'splashed out' I mean 'bought the one in the colour they are selling cheap') for a frame I've had sat in the shed for a while. While the frame has been gathering cobwebs I've been picking up other bits for it, so I've been putting it...

I've fitted this cane creek 40 headset to the kinesis dc37 fork and have around 3mm gap between the crown race and the bottom cups. It seems smooth but the gap should t be there' It's on a new build I'm doing so won't b able to ride it for a while yet, I was thinking it might drop down after a...

Hi all, Sorry if this has been covered before but my search was unsuccessful. I have a road bike that I would like to fit mudguards to however the bike comes fitted with "aero brakes". I can see where I would be able to fit the back guard but no visible way of getting the front on. I have...

Hi all, currently got a boardman cx comp which has brake levers on bars as well as drops. I really like this set up but am finding the bike a bit heavy, so I am considering one of the giant defy road bikes. However I would like brake levers on the bars too if possible. Does anyone know if this...

Before.... In the box... A good solid touring rim. Putting the wheel in the frame. A snug fit, and I had to file down one of the tabbed washers to get it to fit - it had overflowed its mould slightly. Later this afternoon - finish putting the shifter on, and then the finishing...

Hi guys, I just purchase a pair of Schwalbe Marathon Plus for my bike to replace the tyres the bike came with originally. All the numbers on the tyres match up, however, upon trying to fit the Marathon Plus tyres, they just seem way too big. I can fold one side of the tyre in, however, it seems...

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...

Hi all, Fitted one of these to my Cinelli Experience to measure speed and cadence so I can improve my training on the commute and on the turbo (if I ever get back on it). So in short you put a magnet on the spokes, a magnet on the crank (non-chain side), and a unit on the chain stay that reads...

On my mtb I have some standard Deore brakes and have just bought some XT M 875 brakes and calipers as an upgrade. On the advert is says there easy to fit even if you have to shorten them and they come ready bled.. So how easy are they to fit ? is there any tips or is it all as straight forward...

Tried fitting a pair of Schwable Marathon Plus tyres to my Triban 300. Looked impossible but found the solution. I took them to my LBS. They fitted mine for a tenner, money well spent!

I won't bore you with loads of context. But as a new cyclist replacing their first tyre I bought a Schwalbe Durano Plus folding tyre. I was overwhelmed by the sheer amount//type of tyres available and I confess I had no idea that a 'folding' tyre meant that it got pushed through my letterbox...

Hi again, I don't really want to get the plumber back to do this work and so was looking online for some instructions to do this. I've found information on how to fit a flat panel but not a curved one. I do have some plastic fittings for this. do I still need to fit a piece of baton to the...

I love cycling but never got it right (comfortable). I am not a beginner and knows all those fitting theories or craps (saddle height, kops, reach etc etc). I have tried many kinds of combinations. Gradually I found the problem is my left leg is longer in particularly left femur is longer by...
