    Road Bike for Towpaths

    I've got a Carrera Vanquish Road bike . I've had it several years and I've had no problems with it. I ride a lot on tow paths around the Lea Valley Park area and the paths can be quite rough. The Carrera handles it with no problems but the frame and forks are very rigid and unforgiving and you...

    Convert Road Bike to Gravel

    HI all, I have a Merida 2016 Ride Disc 500 which is pretty underused as I tend to use my MTB but there are few mountains here in the east midlands just tracks and trails and my mtb is a bit overkill for this so I was wondering if I just got a spare set of wheels for off-road stuff for my Merida...

    Which Tektro blocks are on Triban 540 road bike as standard?

    The Tektro brake blocks fitted as standard to the Triban 540 perform silent braking. I want to fit identical ones on to my other bike. There does not appear to be any numbers on the Tektro blocks but I have not removed them. Anyone know?

    MTB brake Pads (Blocks) on a Road Bike.

    I'm comparing Decathlon's inexpensive MTB Brake Pads (blocks) to their inexpensive Road Bike brake Pads (blocks). I'm using the same bike, just swapping the brake Pads, they're setup the same distance from the wheel rim. First impressions are that the longer MTB Pads are better at stopping.

    Tour de Romandy - SPOILERS

    Anyone see Tour de Romandy earlier? Hilly TT not too long and I thought it was interesting that he looked like he won on a normal road bike: not even any tri bars, unlike most of those behind him.

    Convert Scott AFD road bike to flatbar.

    Ok, I'm definitely aiming to do this. The Scott has an 8-speed Sora with triple Ritchey chainring. The intention is to use the bars, levers, and shifters, if possible, from an 8-speed Altus hybrid. And to switch to the Altus triple chainring or get the matching Sora. Both are 48-38-28 compared...

    Wrapping a road bike.

    As an avid watcher of Yianni the super car wrapper (https://yiannimize.com/) I was wondering if bike wrapping was a thing, and if so who does it professionally and who might do it themselves. I imagine there is no cost benefit in wrapping a Alu, Steel or Carbon road bike but creatively the...
