Great thanks for the tips guys! I've managed to change out a better spare caliper and it was binding less so I worked out the rear brake lever was sticking on new washers so sprayed some GT and she works a treat now full stopping power from both ends now! I've got the derailleur and chain to...

Thanks for the advice and I'm sure I'll reroute it again! I'll grease up the outer cable a bit can't hurt TBF. I've got a feeling the spring is done for and I've got a spare caliper so I'll mount that one and see the difference.

:D

I appreciate exactly what you have said and agree but my 8yer old might need less cables in the way! Yes its more difficult, but I've tried the brakes and it seems okay. Once she is on the road I can make a few more judgement calls and if freeing them up I will change them I might be over...

What would you do?

Liking that blue! Thanks Thats one of the problems no matter how much I adjusted it made no difference. Its always wound down before I clamp the cable. I've made it simple sitting on the bike left lever makes contact with front brake/ right lever makes contact inline with rear brakes The...

LOL Four hands are the best! :twisted: Well it might be all wrong but this is what it looks like I've turned the forks full turns and there is no stretch on the cables! I think I should loosen the lock nut up then free up the brake nut stop it from snagging or get the spring feel back then...

Yeah I have discovered that the two bolts holding the spring brakes have a sweet spot and I had it then lost it, but four hands would help! I'll post a few pics in awhile Richard thanks for the help! Jay

Yes Thanks Richard that helps alot. I've come across another issue the rear brake lever feels like its snagging or clicking lever side, its not being brought back to rest without a little help! To me it feels like the cable is snagging on the outer cable. you can see the Ferrell stick up from...

The front brakes aren't Aero types they come out from the top so I'm completely stumped on the route whether to have it front of the bars or route it around the stem left to right anyone have pictures of the best route for front brake cable? I'm using Shimano cable stuff? I'm not sure how much...

I Thought there were experts on this forum? :twisted: Its not American clue clue Its not a million Bund bike either :idea: Roff Harris "can you tell what it is yet?" :lol:

I use to think the same, but I You tube loads of stuff and read learning quite abit over the years! Just a case of breaking stuff down! What kind of wall you have? What type of anchor bolts are needed? A drill with a big bit. Pencil, level & tape measure. Go to a timber merchant and see what...

Thanks Mate! Little one keeps asking when she can ride it! :D

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :twisted:

Getting there just need a mudguard stay bracket and a few eyelet bolts to Go

I was referring to the old ones which would rub off if he was looking for an original one that is? I liked the look of Charge Cr Spoon Road Bike Saddle Seat was thinking about sticking one on my Gitane but it looks too modern but its cheap!

You could make that! Buy a floating shelf kit and use some nice wood! Jobie done

LOL I was watching two turbos at the same time half an hour between them finishing (betting they were the suede brown ones) The box was such a red herring LOL! The box went for more money The one without a box was clearly unused seat in better condition! Everyone knows the turbo rubs off...
