Memorials and bikes

Old centre pull calipers can be fiddly but once set up work well if used with alloy rims
Never had any cable issues over the years

I have not seen this one from Tatton Park. The area it faces is in front of the Old Hall and Ringway (called Manchester International Airport these days) is only a short distance away. There are usually lots of cyclists passing through or exploring the large estate. Today was no exception. As the memorial is not next to a paved roadway I suspect that many are not aware of it.

I was sweeping (sedately) down the hill from Astley when I spotted this one. Had to turn back for a closer look.

Agree on both counts, you need three hands when clamping the main cable. Modern block like koolstop also enhance the stop-ability.

Hi there,

I stopped you earlier today to ask about your bike. Turns out I've been a member of this forum for over 10 years, but had just forgotten. Thanks for the advice and now I'm on here I can ask opinions for when I do get round to picking a new bike, but something like yours would be a good start.

Cheers, Larry.
