    Recomend me a decent lock

    Didn't fancy another D lock as they're a pain to carry but I guess I can get one and leave it in the cycle store to save lugging it about. Still have my old Kyrpto lock from '94 but I guess I would be better buying a new one.

    Recomend me a decent lock

    Well my missus isn't a big lass and will be using it more often than me. Will be for th eodd commute to work (weather permitting as I'm not getting out of the car in the current weather), office parking is under CCTV and my desk looks straight out on it so it doesn't have to be OTT. Thinking...

    Recomend me a decent lock

    Apologies if this is in the wrong place but I'm after advise on what's a decent quality lock. Just got my missus a nice bike so we can go exploring... well she'll explore, I'll try and jump things and fall off no doubt. Anyways we will need to lock the bikes on odd occasions and as I'm so far...

    Deore XT V Brake query

    These are M739 and your description sounds exactly right. Will be going to discs on my new build but that's a while off so would rather these were right for the interim

    Deore XT V Brake query

    Got myself a full set on E-Bay and am in the process of fitting them up but there seems to be play on the pad holder. Don't think it will have an effect on the performance but worried it will make a rattling sound. Should there be any play here, if so how much? Worried I've just wasted £45...
