    Tyre clearance on a Raleigh Dyna Tech?

    I'm picking up some Schwalbe Big Apple 2.35" today. I hope they fit or I'll probably go for a nice practical Marathon Mondial 2.0" for a bit of off road use as well.

    Tyre clearance on a Raleigh Dyna Tech?

    I like the look of Maxxis Hookworms but wonder if 2.5" will be too much. As they're slick without any blocks adding to the width I was hoping they might just fit or does tyre sizing not work like that? I'll just be pootling around leading backpackers on city tours so speed (or lack of!) won't...

    Tyre clearance on a Raleigh Dyna Tech?

    I'm going to be living and working in Bangkok for a bit and don't need anything particularly fast and a bit of cushioning would be nice.

    Tyre clearance on a Raleigh Dyna Tech?

    Does anyone know or can easily measure the maximum tyre width on a 1991 Raleigh Encounter? I've had it in storage for the past 4 years so I'm not expecting the existing tyres & tubes to be all that great and would like to put some fat slicks on there for the time being (don't judge me ok!) for...

    Indoor cycling 'ballet'

    I thought the UCI had banned upturned handlebars. ;) Good skills though. What pissed me off is that these are the European Championships and yet before they'd even left the court they were riding on two blokes appeared at the back with a set of goalposts. No doubt they have to get off now cos...

    anyone know their spectacles?

    Only way to stop them from transitioning is new lenses I'm afraid.

    ID my Raleigh Frame- help please

    I had one of those and that's a Series II which differed from the original in that it came with a 7-speed 105 groupset (instead of 6) with the oh so fashionable Biopace chainrings and a predominantly yellow saddle instead of white. Very nice!

    Guess the Film from the still

    Don't think so but I saw it years ago so can't remember if that's true or not. I get the feeling this might be a film no-one but me has seen so if you want a clue, someone from this film went on to appear in Baywatch.

    Help in the trouser dept needed.........

    You really need flourescent pink lycra for the true retro look. Lycra not your thing? You could just recreate this classic outfit from 1990. :lol:

    How NOT to get out of a speeding ticket

    Wow you found a video of my ex-wife. She looks kind of different these days but I'd recognise the temper tantrum anywhere. :lol:
