Is anyone able/prepared to pick up a pair of 16” wheels for me from Portsmouth? I know it’s a big ask but also wrap them in cardboard and post to London. Obviously beer tokens in your direction or I’d swap for a nice set of 26” Hope hubbed wheels that I ought to sell. Thanks all Matt

Is there anyone who could pick up and post some bike packing bags in Norwich? Thanks Matt

Commute this week :D

Trying to bleed a set of mono minis, but struggling to find a hose that will fit the bleed nipple. Where do others get theirs? I’ve tried the lbs and pet shop for fish tank air hose, trying Halfords for windscreen washer hose tomorrow.

As title says Genesis Fortitude Adventure, 20.5” frame. 11 speed Alfine hub, BB7 brakes, 725 tubing. I bought this a year ago as a commuter and winter mtb and its been great. It’s had three oil changes of the hub in my ownership, one last Feb and two more at six month intervals, the last...

Thinking about changing car to comply with ULEZ in London and considering going for an Audi A2. Made me wonder who else here drives something ‘retro’ and how many A2s there are on here.

I wasn’t sure whether to ask this here or in the road section. But as I haven’t ridden anything with drops since I was 11, I’m more interested in how this feels to someone that is primarily used to riding mtb. I’m thinking about doing the Dirty Reiver and this naturally led me to the idea of a...

I bought Mrs Twister a Superlight frame from Wadsy last summer with the intention of replacing her Genesis Hardtail. 14 months later it is still hanging in the shed. :cry: Meanwhile, my friend bought his son a Yeti with a SRAM XO groupset of which he promptly trashed the rear mech. So this...

The Jekyll has landed at work (and I confessed its existence to Mrs Twister)! Taking it home (via the pub). Where it was much admired by the bikey bar staff :D Looking to go by 1 x 11. Probably M8000. Does anyone know, can I run a 11 speed cassette on the existing 9 speed freehub?

The last time I went out on my STS was a bit sad. :( Resulting in a snapped mech hanger. Fortunately, no damage to anything else (or so I thought). Anyway, the replacement mech hanger has duly arrived from BETD, together with a spare. And some middleburn cable oilers. I’ve always wondered...

Anyone else use vinegar to remove rust? I tried it this week on a rusty seat post clamp and it was like magic! No rubbing or abrasion, just leave to sit for a week.

Does/has anyone here used heli-tape or similar to protect frames/decals? If so, how effective was it, and do you have any useful tips? Thanks Matt

So my new bike should arrive in the next couple of days. It’s a Cannondale Jekyll Goodboy edition. I’m buying it without the polished XTR groupset Probably going to build using a 1x11 M8000.
