    Anyone running TPU inner tubes yet?

    Example: https://craftcadence.com/products/ridenow-ultralight-tpu-inner-tubes-road-or-gravel-36-45-grams I am tempted. However, some people say that these make comfort worse, while others say they improve comfort?! Comfort is my priority on a road bike with drops, although the weight saving...

    Jamis Aurora - 2008ish

    Thanks! It should come up better with a polish too. I definitely think a silver seatpost, and possibly chrome mudguards would look the part on this.

    Jamis Aurora - 2008ish

    Changed the saddle to a Brooks Cambium (C15) and fettled it (wasn't shifting to the 'big ring', brakes pulling out of alignment, pads touching the tyres 😕). Subsequently commuted to work The bar position will probably need to come down a little but it feels pretty good. Quite a lot of toe...

    Freight 8 missing rear wheel

    Perhaps some form of circlip or washer required beneath the lever arm? Are the cables new and greased etc?

    Jamis Aurora - 2008ish

    I recently felt another pull to try using drop bars. Never really found a comfortable position with them before, probably owing to the size / reach of previous bike 'attempts'. I've been doing some fairly long off-road rides (40 - 50 miles) and feel like the slightly more aero form combined with...

    Freehub body removal help please: brute force or less ignorance?

    8Freight Cargo bike - restoration / project

    Lesser spotted update!! I managed to get a replacement freehub last week at a bike jumble. Came on an unused Alivio hub that I got for £0.50p!! So, off with the freehub body. All came apart / went together nice and bonny.......until I wound the bolt back in on the 8freight and it decided...

    I really fancy it this year. Would love to leave the car at home and ride it or combine with trains etc. Is there any way of securing your bike up in the campsite? Cheers.

    Sold Dawes Audax Giro - 57cm - Bolton - £120

    Listed on ebay now, but not much interest. I'm itching to start a new build but want to clear this out first, so happy to take a fairly low bid on it.

    Sold Dawes Audax Giro - 57cm - Bolton - £120

    Any interest in this before I ebay it? Picked up in a whim recently but its too small for me, and too nice to break for parts really. - Dawes Audax Giro - 57cm - 531 competition tubing - Shimano RSX brakes and mechs - Running bar end shifters, so in theory you have the option of these or the...

    8Freight Cargo bike - restoration / project

    Sorry for the lack of updates from me lately. I've been meaning to get the bike running for ages. I'm only missing a new freehub now and I can put it all together. @LunarBike I was hoping to get this running sweetly, before deciding whether I like it / need it. So it might be available at...

    Today's Ride

    Another snowy commute for me, had to take the MTB today as the ice was lethal. As such, ended up taking a much more off-road route to work through woodland / country parks etc. Lots of fun. Was actually a beautiful morning with the low hanging mist and sunrise, alas, 3 pairs of gloves and...

    Today's Ride

    Outwood Trail? I too have been trying to keep up the commuting momentum. Yesterday was -4 leaving the house! Loads of layers needed. Heavy snow today, so came in the car.
