Re: Oh, I thought these would be of some use to someone. Never mind.

Hey there, I wanted to play this game, but life just got in the way. I have a couple of old 26" wheels which I was looking to sell. I think the hubs have had it, so really it is a sale for a couple of rims, spokes and the cassette. Thing is, I don't have the tool to remove the cassette or I...

Sorry, it is sold. I forgot to update that bit.

Potentially, subject to payment.

Weekend bump.

1992 Saracen Tufftrax Elite Frameset 17.5” C to C 20”C to T Top tube 21” C to C £85 inc p&p With a heavy heart I am moving this on. It is absolutely lovely condition. Which is part of the reason for selling it. I just don’t want to lean it up against a railing anywhere. Oh, that and, well...

Unfortunately I can't afford to play this game as much as I would like to so am having a bit of a clearout. I will add to this list gradually. Some of the items may be listed elsewhere. Summary (scroll down for more details): Shimano RX100 Crankset FC A550 double chainset. £25 inc p&p 1993...

I thought that I would finish this thread off with the conclusion. Well, I thought that I would test my theory. I took a huge chance. I (disappointingly) picked up a new bike. I got a Specialized Roll. I was erring on the side of disc brakes as well anyway (some short sharp hills here). It...

:D Nicely put. Somewhat more succinct than me. Nice to hear that they exist. Now to find one. (any thoughts?) I reckon I would save the £120 back by not buying bits and bikes to try. It would be quite fun to hire a jig with a power meter wouldn't it and just fiddle about with it. (oh and a...

The problem now is to work out my next step. My original plan was to get an old mtb frame and swap wheels out to cover road and rougher track type thing. But having been out and about, I really fancy disc brakes. I would love to get a bike fit, but 'bike fit' seems to mean, bring the bike that...

Well, this has been an interesting few weeks. I have been reading a LOT of stuff. I can see why someone mentioned custom fit frame instantly. When you look at the geometry of frames, they are basically all the same. They fit the same ratio of body proportions. (Which I completely understand...

LOL, yup, caught me out there. I definitely worded that wrong didn't I? I agree with you.

I have been finding it quite interesting actually. I have learned a lot. I think the key to everything is that fore aft bit. Getting your correct centre of balance / femur length right. Then work from there. This is all about seat tube angle and setback. The thing that I have discovered is...

OH!!!! I get it now. It is ALL about the setback. None of what I have ever read or heard has really made sense to me. I have just been reading up about the balance thing. Weight on pedals etc etc I have too much weight on my hands. I have ALWAYS had too much weight on my hands. The conversation...

Yes, this is my concern. I really like the idea of it, but often in life I have known more about a topic then the 'expert' I am talking to. If they are good, it would be a great benefit. Really interesting and really educational. But I doubt they would let me pay only if I deemed them to be of...

You might be right on both counts. I didn't think I was far out to be honest. (body shape wise) I mean I don't think I look like a dwarf, you know? I am pretty average Joe. I have just ridden 'medium' bikes or small framed bikes. But I haven't really focussed on it before. Especially frame and...
