    winter snow stud tyres,Anyone use them off road

    Thanks for the reply. They need running in for 20 miles from new.No hard braking that sort of thing.I imagine that going over stones and gravel will distort the rubber and ease the studs out and it seems that is the case.I run them on a cross bike and have two...

    winter snow stud tyres,Anyone use them off road

    Hi Has anyone used winter snow stud tyres off road when there is no snow and if so how did the studs stand up to it.I can imagine that the flexing could pop out the studs. If not it would save a lot of messing about wheel changing. Overall wear is not so...

    Issues with Spa Cycles - advice?

    I have four of these chainsets on various bikes and all the inner rings have been swapped at some time or other and not a single problem. Must be a new thing

    Suntour Command Style Shifters

    You would be more than lucky to get any at £20.00. You may be in with a chance at 40 plus. What about stem mounted shifters .I also think I have seen gripshift used in the centre section of drop bars but could be wrong on that one

    And this is why i still use royal mail!

    Where on earth did you hear that royal mail looked after the posties. If you are sick twice in a year its the sack.The union is a complete waste of time. One postie was so ill he had to go to hospital.When he got back home he went back to work too early thinking...

    Suntour Command Style Shifters

    The ene ones are still around the £140 mark so not cheap.The good thing about them is that they are going to put more of this style of shifter on the market.The more used ones come up for sale the more the downward pressure on prices.Its the fact that the...

    Suntour Command Style Shifters

    You may well be right with that. 10 speed is a different world from where I am. I can say though that eight speed on a seven shifter is about as far as you would want to go with the lever

    Suntour Command Style Shifters

    Seen comments that you can make them ten speed but dont think so as the spacing changes after eight.Of course on friction you could but eventually the lever would be so far over it would be very difficult to handle

    Suntour Command Style Shifters

    Got the suntour ones on three bikes.They are seven speed but you can run eight using the mech stop screw as the inner index point.They have about a quarter of a turn on friction past the last index point.Most I have ever paid is around £38.00 for a...
