    New Country, New (old) Bike.

    Well.... I haven't had a bike since I moved to the US just over two years ago, and I was in a charity shop and saw this Diamond Back Topanga for sale for $20. So I picked it up :-) It's well maintained all though I think the cantilevers have to go due to a broken plastic ring (I've seen this...

    Went AWOL .. moved country

    Hi, Just thought I would say hi setter a few years. Basically went AWOL as I could no longer ride since I moved to the USA. Now went into Walmart and saw done 700cc bikes and got me interested again. Will need to find something decent used around here as I am hopefully not buying a BSO lol.

    SolarStorm X2 XM-L LED Bike Light

    Help me find a middle chain ring please (2008)

    Hi guys, So I've finally repaired my Scott Sportster P3 2008 model after having the entire chain/rings/spokes munched and started riding again. However, after a painfull gear slip, it seems that my middle chainring is screwed. I'm on the lookout for a Shimano middle 36T chainring that is...

    Just destroyed rear mech, spokes and hanger (Scott P3)

    So.... it's looking like the damage is: 1) Bent chain (Shame as that was only a few months old) 2) Cracked and bent rear LX mech hanger 3) Possibly a front LX mech 4) Bent Rear LX mech (and snapped cable) 5) Rear wheel needs spoke rebuild. The front and rear cogs look OK. A friend...

    Just destroyed rear mech, spokes and hanger (Scott P3)

    Hmm.. thinking about it - and this may be complete coincidence - I 'may' have just ridden over a bit of hard plastic that the wind blew in front of me. (it's like a wind tunnel down that section always in your face). Just trying to price up some bits now. Edit: Facebook rocks. Friend just...

    Just destroyed rear mech, spokes and hanger (Scott P3)

    Well... will put a pic up in a bit.. but just came to a screeching halt at about 30mph on a main road when for some unfathomable reason my rear mech ripped off (or was caught) and ripped half my spokes up jamming the rear wheel. I'm now in the position to replace the rear hanger (it's cracked...

    Bargain Ebay bike lights

    Well.. I posted it back to the a UK address for the RMA, and they have now requested £7 to send another to me. A bit odd I thought, as they ship everything free normally.. so to charge me for a defective item (It is outside there 90 days though) to be replaced is a bit harsh.. especially as...
