    Warranties should be initially dealt with by the shop you bought the item from As a shop we have sent back to the U.K. importer (madison) several items that have failed in normal workshop usage and we have received brand new items back in return, I’ve personally never seen Park tools warranty...

    Early 80s Dawes Lightning rolling resto

    That's a blast from my past, my 1st road bike was one of those but without the front mech I think you're right with 1981, I got mine around the time I went up to secondary school, being born in '72 that tallies up with your thoughts

    4700 tiagra has a different cable pull ratio to earlier 10spd stuff We've never been able to make it work with anything other than the correct shifters (4700) in our workshop

    Scott Scale 710 +

    You can run any tubeless set up with tubes 1x is the way to go, less weight, more mud clearance and with the right ratio cassette and chainring you really don't lose much in the way of gear ratios I'm working in the trade at a bike shop (Louth cycle centre) with a race team doing well on the...

    Scott Scale 710 +

    Thought you might like it! Sram's 1x drivetrain performs way better than shimano' 1x set up If you like 650+ then look at the more palatable price of the Merida big trail 600, £1300 for one hell of a fun bike

    Total wheel size is the same as a 29er, but the handling is different, if you can test ride one have a go and see what you think

    hybrid ceramic bearings?

    From my workshop experience I'd say they're not worth the extra cash, they don't seem to last any longer than good quality stainless steel bearing like enduro or skf
