Re: 27.0 seatpost FWIIW I have a Raleigh M-Trax Ti 1000, and this takes a 27.0mm seatpost (says 4130 heat-treated). Also I used to have a Raleigh Montage ATB with 501 ATT tubing and this also had 27.0 diameter seatpost (as did a Reynolds 531 Super Touriste frame on a Condor touring bike). So it...

Tyres arrived and are now on the bike. It was a struggle, and I tried the VAR levers, but they flexed so much I gave up fearing to break them. The answer was in a tip I was given. 1) use talc generously (I came out smelling like a baby) 2) get tyre on as far as it will go using thumbs...

OK so the Paselas are coming, the problem now is preparing to get them onto the Mavic Module 3 CD. I think the problem here is the shallow wells. I've seen some tools on the net and was wondering if anyone has any experience of them. Simson Tyre Mate (look identical to Kool-Stop Bead Jack...

and the winner is...........Pasela TG 32C and the winner is...........Pasela TG 32C Eventually I've gone for Pasela TG 32's, at £19.25 including free inner tubes. I liked the idea of many others, especially the RiBMO's, but the pasela's promise a comfortable ride with the flexible side...

New problem - shallow rims! I tried out a wheel from another bike to check the maximum width that will fit the frame (32 I think), and I also swapped around the tyres, when I came across a NEW PROBLEM. In trying the Bontrager on my wheel, I find again I have REALl problems with getting the...

stem shifters Ive been thinking about the same problem. I've just bought a Condor touring bike with indexed 6-speed rear and friction front derailleur levers on the down tube. Not sure whether to a) get used to them (I wobble horribly and it's a stretch to them - I've fitted a stem raiser), b)...

I have just acquired a Flyer second-hand and want to know about getting it to fit my shape rather than previous owner's. The saddle is in very good condition, but with a bit of a sag. It dipped down half an inch from the horizontal line from point to rear, so I have tightened it up to a...

mtb 27.0 mm seat post Scant - I'm interested in the 27mm pipe-style seat post you posted a photo of. It depends on the length though. I need about 185 mm to maximum extension mark, so about 250mm overall? How much longer is likely to work? It's for a 1988 Raleigh Montage. Is steel much heavier...

montage similar to Estelle I have just bought a Montage similar to Estelle, I guess 1988 These are the details:- Frame: Reynolds 501 lugged & butted, Unicorn fork with forged ends Frame no.: 00598927 on seat tube sticker, made in England; RA20 JQ on bottom of BB Frame size: height...

Raleigh Montage - some queries about mine I have just bought a Montage and I wanted to compare it to yours. It has its rear brake (LeeChi 767A Jumbo u-brake) under the chainstay rather than on the seat stay, so it must be a different model. The frame number on the sticker on the seat tube...
