    Wippermann connex chains

    That Sheldon, he's so slap-dash! I think I remember that post from Sheldon which, I think, he posted as an April Fool's Joke, I still admired the engineering principles in it though which I think was Sheldon's true joke. I think secretly there are some who rather admired that post, ahem. I've...

    Breezer Storm in Waterlooville

    That Breezer is lovely (a couple of chips) and the seller is not asking for very much at all.

    1986-ish Ernie Clements Tourer

    That is lovely. Out of interest what is the groupset? And which Reynolds tubeset does the bike use? And I'm sorry to hear about the pain incurred from your exertions behind Asda.

    Wippermann connex chains

    Once every two weeks I use a Park Tool chain scrubber with some Swarfega 'oil and grease remover' to fully de-grease the drivetrain. I find the Swarfega, which is water based and so can be easily washed off, a lot less aggressive than the white spirit I used to use, and it doesn't creep past...

    Wippermann connex chains

    Why thankyou Nob! :wink: So I dismantled the Wippermann chain last night and took some photos. The wear on this particular chain is, as Xerxes has said, concentrated promarily onto the pin. This Wippermann pin lasted 3 months with just standard 10 miles a day commuting on flat roads which is...

    Wippermann connex chains

    Good old Retrobike to bring up a subject close to my heart (and because I am also a nerd!). I’ve been trying various chains from the various companies over the last few years to try to determine what is the best high quality modern chain brand. The trigger for doing this was the result of...

    Bromwich 531 Fillet 1988 splitting Paris Dakar Wheels M730

    Hello Joe, I'm afraid I'll have to back out. I've been looking for a bike like this for a bit of gentle touring but I've noticed that the bike can't take a rear mudguard or a rack which rules me out. Best of luck with the sale as this is a lovely bike and a future owner will be very lucky to...

    Hilary Stone problems beware

    Good luck, I hope you get your money back. It sounds like you will and in exactly the same circumstances as me! I hope your phonecall to him was more pleasant than mine!!!

    Hilary Stone problems beware

    Hilary Stone is fine until something goes wrong and then he's a nightmare to deal with. What's happening to deanthebean is exactly what happened to me some years ago. He'd miss-advertised a product (no big deal - it happens) but it proved impossible to get a refund. Somebody on LFGSS gave me his...

    NOS shark tooth

    Is the 'HOW' in the incomplete price-tag from 'Howes Cycles' in Cambridge, until just recently, the world's oldest bicycle shop? I spent many a childhood year in that shop, from years ago, developing my love for, what are now, vintage bicycles - then again, it could be somewhere completely...
