Well on first impressions it seems like a brilliant idea, so they are on their way to me and I will report back....who knows?? my thinking is that if I fit them to a 720mm flat bar (on order) and space the drops about 500mm apart, I can mount a bar end mirror on the end of the overhang on the...

Yep they look good on that bike with what looks like good clearance, they should be ok.......I like the bike

Ahhh that's the thing I like, it alerts people but not in an abrupt way

Halfords are selling them for £6.99 which is ridiculously cheap they are worth 3x that, they are excellent quality and should last forever HOWEVER one thing to watch, the striker is held on with a star washer, I did have one come off and the striker came off....it cant go anywhere so it can be...

I always have a big shiny "ding dong glock", I have tried those silly pingers...i rate them only moderately above useless, but these are fab and elicit a pleasant response from pedestrians, you can ding dong from about 50 mtrs and still be heard, £7.00 !!, here it is in action...

These look interesting so I have ordered some from China

Ordered 2 pairs, I hope they work out because not cheap

I reckon they will be brilliant, it should mean that you can have your drops as wide or as narrow as you like and just transfer them easily to other bikes as required if you sell/ change bikes. Flat bar brake/shifters are MUCH cheaper than for drop bars and flat bars are also...

These have intrigued me, I struggle to find drop bars wide enough for my liking, there are gravel bars around now but the quoted 55cm width etc is often at the flared drops, its very hard to find drop bars that are over 460mm wide on the hoods and even if you can they tend to be very expensive...

On the Dawes I am running 700 x 32C tyres, I probably might go to 35C next time but no wider

Hmmmmm I wonder if they will be any good, anything SKS I have bought has been good, so you are in with a chance :) , I am using ESEGE chromplastic on the Dawes which is what was fitted when I bought it (SKS and ESEGE may be the same company ??) and they are both big, wide and rock solid but I...

Great Torrington (North Devon) today

This Raleigh for sale locally £80 does anybody know anything about it ? I may buy it, it is very lightweight

We didnt take many pics back then with film, Me and my bro had bright orange Chopper bikes (MK1) brand new from the Grattan catalogue, love that bike in your pic

How effective were those brakes ?

Of course you are correct, but for some strange reason, saying these things makes people angry, extolling the virtues of this new gear seems to be fine though.....strange

This thread has lasted longer than I expected

I have never had a bike without full mudguard fitted (apart from the 2 times I rode the Dartmoor Classic when I owned a Felt road bike). I go out off-road with a bunch of guys now and again and am the only one that uses full fitted mudguards and the only one that doesnt get covered in crud, I...

Is that a BAFANG conversion ?
