Awesome, thanks a lot! :D

Lesson learned: never use a conventional type front mech with centrally located cable stop on the seat tube... :roll:

Oh man!, That would be ideal! PM me your paypal :mrgreen:

I know. It will be here 8 hours and 15 miles later 8)

I've got the mentioned shifter. Last Friday something inside snapped, the cable was not moving any more... I disassembled the whole thing yesterday, just to find out that it is that silver circle-shaped thing that holds the cable end in place, that broke... Is it possible to get it spare...

Hi, The XT hub - what cassette does the freehub accept? If it's 9, then I'm interested! :-)

Price drop / bump! £350 posted. £340 collected. 8)

Oh, sorry man... I need to give back more then I'd get for the price I stated... But how much would you want for the X anyway?

Hi Retros! For sale is my Xperia Z smartphone. It's that outdoor friendly model, water and dust proof. Powerful and stylish phone. It has never been used, never connected to the network, no fingerprints on it (I have not even removed it from the plastic bag it came in). I got it on o2...

All in red. Shoes size 45. Bought around 10 months ago, not used a lot - in very good condition, as seen on the pics. Cleats included. I'm selling on behalf of my friend, but I got the stuff here, in the office, ready to dispatch. Any questions welcome :) Price: £58 with postage, £50 if...

My Marin was stolen from outside my work place last Summer... :(

+1 to Memory Map! I use it on Android. When I had my iPhone I used the app by Ordnance Survey - similar stuff. Very accurate and the best maps you can get. Obviously not free... 8)

Nice one!!! So it wasn't just me who was getting mad in the woods then :lol: I took a day off work on Friday and rode to Dartmoor, Lustleigh Cleave. Some really good time I had up there, with plenty of crashes, as I couldn't see the rocks on the paths 8)

Maybe a bit controversial, but... Maxxis Aspen 2.1. Light, very good and quiet (and fast") on tarmac, but these are fantastic even on serious off road tracks (great rock climbers) - not like more "tarmac only" tyres. I've been using them everyday for the last 5 months (about 30 miles per...

I've had this problem since I got my 2012 Cinder Cone: Shifting the rear gears is no problem, up and down. Only until I reach the two biggest sprockets... Then the chain and derailleur start playing funny. Clicking the shifter from the smaller sprockets up there is "one click - one shift"...

On my commute to work (big part of it are country lanes) there is a long hill, which is constantly wet. If the temperature drops below 0, you can imagine how icy it is... I have only got one Marathon Winter tyre, on the front wheel, so the rear end has no chance to climb on ice. Last week I...

Yeah, as in the title... I'm about to send my rear wheel for repair/replacement under a warranty (I posted about a crack in a rear hub some time ago), but the shop say it takes 7-10 days to get it back. However I need my bike for daily commuting (yes, I have only one...), 7-10 days is a lot too...

... and great company! :-) Bloody hell, by looking at the group photo I feel extremely embarrassed with my 'tash... :-D Have you cleaned your bikes yet?

I'm so happy to hear that - I spent an hour this morning to clean my bike after yesterday's 95km ride around Haldon (and back to Paignton)... :-D Sorry, I'll be riding modern - the only bike I've got at the moment. But I have a retro mustache to compensate that! :-P See you all tomorrow!

Last night I overhauled the rear hub on my bike for general maintenance. It's a Shimano M475 Disc. When I cleaned everything nicely I noticed a crack on the racer (non-dirve side)... :( It is noticeable under finger. The crack is on the outside part of the hub (the part that also works as a...
