I have a shimano claris gear set- trek al2 domane bike and I'm wondering how much of a difference would it be if I had a bike with an ultegra gear set? Would I be more faster?

I’ve taken this stem off a ’94 (I think) Raleigh. Never seen this before and am wondering if it’s: 1 - A bar / stem combination that isn’t supposed to be split, or, 2 - If there was originally an internal bolt which has been mangled by a previous owner? The bars are branded Italamburia...

I have a Claud Butler Ravana ATX MTB purchased c2002. Standard piece of kit with 27" wheels 21 gears (3*7) and rim V-Brakes. Hubs are Quando and run fine with occasional regrease and adjustment. My problem now is with the cassette/freehub. On Saturday, while on a ride on muddy towpaths the...

A pair of 8x2 Claris shifters up for sale after upgrading to the new R2000 versions because I’m vein and prefer under bar routing! Not sure what to ask as no idea what there worth. EBay prices are very volatile. How does £40 posted sound? If I am way out make an offer as I have no use for them...

Hey, It's come to the point where my cassette and chainring has gone through about 5 chains so looking to replace the lot. I only ever use ~5 smallest sprockets and notice since Shimano cassettes come with the biggest sprockets as one unit and the smaller ones individually, is it possible to...

Hi I've just taken my hub apart to clean the bearings but now I can't tighten it back up. When I do start to tighten it up it gets to tight the cup goes into the plastic. Can anyone help the old cup and cone was easy you just put a spanner on the cup and tighten down on the lock in nut but this...

hi, just got myself a lovely 2nd hand dawes response bike from the 90s. It has a biopace front crank and 7 speed rear cassette. I am going to replace chain and cassette. Can i just get a standard shimano 7 speed cassette and just a bog std 7 speed chain? Any help much appreciated.

For sale: Lovely condition Shimano M970 3 x 9 speed shifters. Now I know these work bang on as I recently had them fitted to one of my bikes. Superb shifting and you'll struggle to find a better pair in such nice condition. Comes with new inner cables as shown in the pics. £85 by bank...

This happened to me recently, 30 miles from home. It's a three year old Shimano 105 Hollowtech II chainset on my winter bike. I first heard a loud crack when sprinting up a short climb - stopped, thinking it was a problem with a pedal, but couldn't find any issue. The next pedal revolution...

These came with a recent bike purchase and being a size 46 (11) are way to big for me. Claimed to have been used only 2 times and I would say looking at them it was correct . Asking £25 collected from NN8 Wellingborough post code or for an extra £5 sent via my Hermes. I have just wiped the...

These are alloy bodied Dura-Ace, quite a few years old now. Anyone got a pair where the bearings are good?

Hi, I'm on the hunt for some shorter reach levers for Black Ewe's road bike, I'm after 7 or 8 speed ones but finding them is proving difficult online as most results bring up the newer electronic or hydraulic kit. If anyone's able to point me in the correct direction of what they're...

super cheap cheap if possible - I mean they were last in use when the ark was being finished. Thanks in advance

So I was cleaning my bike yesterday and also cleaned up the front disc caliper as it was a bit sticky. After cleaning I noticed that the front brake didn't really work, maybe I let some air in when I extended the caliper pistons. So I went to bleed it, something I have done a few times before...

I put my bike into a bike shop for a gear service last week. I knew there was a couple tweaks required at the rear cassett/derailleur area and that has apparently been sorted out. However as part of this work and changing gear cables (I expected this to be done) Apparently the left gear shifter...

looking to try and source a left hand shimano ultegra ST-R8000 shifter. mine has developed a problem after getting gear cables changed as part of a service. Does anyone have a left side one available? TIA

I'm looking to replace the chainset and bottom bracket for my 9 speed mountain bike (Saracen Mantra 2015). Current chainset is Shimano FCM391 (Altus I think) and bottom bracket CH-52. I've had Hollowtech on my road bike and prefer that to the set up above, but am confused as to the range of 9...

Hey - (3 newbie questions from Tampa, FL, USA) I need to replace my cables because one is too short, as referenced in my only other post here, meaning I don't have much range in turning and I need to but can't raise the handle bars (recently acquired used Cannondale). The brake cables are fine...

The shifter (forgive ignorance) transfers the chain smoothly and accurately but the "raise" lever needs so much thumb and wrist movement that I fear an attack of arthritis. Can someone point me to instructions for adjusting it please? Down tube levers were so simple - sigh. TIA Ken

The one missing part stopping me from completing my new build is out of stock everywhere. Does anyone have a Shimano 160mm rear flat mount adapter I can buy?

This is getting annoying. I've just lost the friction material off another brake pad. It's not worn away, it's broken off the backing plate and been ejected out of the caliper. *The good pad in the picture is not the other pad from the pair it's one that's been kicking around my box of bits...

I have fitted Shimano Di2 ST-R785+ BR-RS805 hydraulic brakes to my new build but am not impressed at all by them.OK they work perfectly but there is just far too much lever travel for my liking.I've bled them,no joy so I took them to a LBS who bled them and basically said that's as good as they...
