That’s the best thing about cycling, downhill fast :cool: 49mph was my best, I’d ran out of gears and my legs were a blur, I’d have gone faster if I could :p

5mm standard thread for bottle cage mounting. If I remember correctly it’s a 7.1 mm hole for a 5mm rivnut and I’d also look for knurled nuts as they grip better with less chance of spinning in the hole

Hi folks, before I ask my question I’d like to say, sorry for the long winded post I’m a retired mechanical engineer, I’ve owned, built and maintained motorcycles, pedal bikes all my life, I’m not a numpty who doesn’t know the difference between a spanner and a spoon. I have 6 bikes at the...

I like the idea of a dropper but I also love my ncx suspension seatpost and wouldn't do without it. I guess the best compromise would be a sprung saddle with a dropper post

To turn on and off you only need to press the on/off switch on the display, battery key is only a mechanical lock, to reset the trip (distance for each journey or per charge or whatever you want) press and hold both left buttons (no other functions can be changed) to see the different screen...

Totally not what you asked but I thought it worth mentioning, in the past few months two of my friends have bought (independently to each other) second hand Orbea’s I don’t know the exact models but they both said they love them, neither spent more than £700. they look similar to this picture

by increasing the chain ring size your chain could now be too short, just a thought

I’ve been using the free version of Komoot for more years than I care to remember. Recording rides and route planning, I share rides via Komoot and when I use it to follow a route it also give audio directions

Sold

I can’t say I laughed as Ive seen similar saddles before, this one however looks like it’s putting undue stress on the seam of his jeans, I can only imagine the knock on effect as it pushes one buttock up at the back while the other goes down o_O

During lockdown I had a frame shot blasted and powder coated candy red over a silver base £80, at that time a single colour was £60 I have used Halfords aerosols in the past , although they do a decent job the finish is not very durable (anything rubbing against it wears through quite easily)...

Highpath created a adjustable length crank arm and then added an adjustable length swinging pedal arm, this make for an expensive product but it does have a lot more adjustments And it’s a one product solution. The Alie product requires you to either buy shorter arms or drill and tap your...

If you have read my post you’ll see I said I use a shorter crank arm than originally came with my bike, the Alie adapter I linked to simply puts the pedal where it would be at the bottom of the stroke (maybe a few mm more) the highpath ones are more adjustable but do the same job

Yes

But do the same job

You would have a problem if you fitted them to your original crank arms but not if you’re using shorter arms ;)

Indeed they have but £300 is a little more than most would be comfortable paying. £17 on Alie is affordable ;)

Hi folks, the benefits of short crank arms has been discussed many times over the years. I personally use 155mm crank arms because of restrictions in my knee movement, 155 vs 175mm =40mm reduction between straight leg and fully bent knee. The biggest problem with short cranks is that in order to...

finally the sun is shining so nows the time to get on the road :cool: my Crossfuse is here waiting for a new owner and can be yours for only £800
