Hi there, sorry for what might be a really silly question, but Im new to all of this Ive got an old Emmelle road bike which ive been having a bit of trouble with the brakes The rear brake squeaks so loud when I tap it, buts normally fine if I really grab hold of it. Ive tried oiling it but...

Ive adjusted it so it was working fine, the problem I was having is that it was very easy to keep pulling the lever towards me and over-shift off the large chainring.

Im looking for a cheap 27" rear wheel for my roadbike, perhaps a matching front one too depending on price. It has to be one to fit 1 1/4" tyres. Im not bothered whether the hub is for a freewheel or a cassette. Ideally located in London

I brought some new bearings for the bottom bracket on my bike as its creaking a lot recently. I brought these ones http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/271245233424? ... 1497.l2649 But upon taking my BB apart today, Ive found that they are far to large (As in the whole cage of bearings from my bike...

Hi there, I'm still new to bikes and was just wondering on a compatibility question.. Ive got a practically new 7 speed Suntour Powerflo cassette sitting on a mtb wheel in my shed. The 6 speed Shimano unit on my late 80s Emmelle road bike is old and worn. I was wondering if the Suntour unit...
