Without having the bike in front of me i can’t measure the BCD (bolt circle diameter) Looking on oxygens website and then sun tours, I recon your BCD is 104mm. if it is you could fit one of these...

Expensive error :eek:, can you just return it for the correct one, especially if it was the vendor who told you that you needed a 31.6 dia. i must admit to buying the smaller option (27.2mm) and using seatpost shims if required to fit a larger frame. My thinking was that all my seatposts fit...

I have two bikes (emtb & mtb) with the sun tour posts and Lidl saddles. I wouldn’t be without them Off-road. :cool: I have a 3rd bike thats just for road & cycle paths and that has a cheap (£10) sprung saddle, my butt is happy in this saddle riding 12 miles 3 times a week ;) this sort of thing...

yes there could be issues going to wide but I can only speak from my personal experience. I have 4 sets of 19mm wide rims, 2 with 2.35 apple’s and 2 with smart sam’s The biggest being 2.6. I’ve had no problem with squirming. this is what Schwalbe says https://www.schwalbe.com/en/reifenmasse

No problem that I can see. I’ve had tyres from 38 to 65mm wide on the same rim without a problem (as long as you have frame clearance for bigger tyres) noticeably bigger than your present tyres, if you want to stay with Smart Sams you could go 65mm wide 65-584 (27.5 x 2.60)

I’ve just figured it out. Should you be unfortunate and in need of medical attention, having nice legs may just get you extra special treatment from the nurses :eek::p;)

Looks like you are getting your Bosch motors mixed up, the ALP motor in the crossfuse has a 42t chainring. My cube with the alp motor had a 38t chainring and I’ve recently replaced the worn drive line with a 42t chainring and an 11-42 cassette. With such a wide range cassette there’s a bigger...

Certainly are more people on new bikes, and the shops are running out. my sister now has more time on her hands and wants a cheap bike to potter around on. I’ve been given the task of finding her a bike on a budget, the cheapest bikes from the likes of Argos and Halfords are out of stock and...

There’s no need to make excuses, we’re all grownups (mostly) if you want to shave any part of your body just do it, who’s going to know anywho :p:D

If you can’t see them how do you know how many you haven’t seen :p

Bicycles are considered vehicles under British law and is illegal to ride a bike on a pavement which has not been designated as a cycle way. The maximum penalty is £500, but it is often dealt with by a £50 fixed penalty notice. However, the law is not always enforced by police.

You can tell people have more time on there hand. there’s a lot of older possibly deceased threads being resurrected :p

I think they are all about the same, I have several different makes, conti’s, Schwalbe’s and Halfords all in 3 different bikes, I couldn’t say which was in each bike but I can say I haven had a flat for a very long time.

“ (slightly illegal) “ no such thing as slightly illegal, a bit like being slightly pregnant :p riding on footpaths is illegal and I don’t recommend it, not because it’s illegal but mostly because on a country footpath you’re likely to come across styles and the like and there a bugger to...

living within a mile of a dual carriageway and another main road, I had become used to a Slight but constant background noise. Now I can hear individual vehicles especially when they are modified cars or fast bikes, “Hooning around as they call it down under “ and there’s more of them than I’d...

i had a plan that kept me working up-to 60 (18 months away) but that relied on me earning and adding to savings, enough to keep me going to 65 without drawing my pension early. No kids and living by myself means I don’t have to leave anything after I’m gone :p

”getting back to normal” as a 58 year old asthmatic I walked out of work weeks ago as at that time there was no attempt at social distancing, I’ve since been furloughed. now I’m cycling most days and doing a lot of DIY and I have a stack of projects that I never had time for before. This is my...

Hi John & Anne I’ve been using https://www.komoot.com/ on and off for many years now. Although i dose navigation, I’ve only been using it to plan rides on my iPad and record rides on my iPhone. To record a ride, I just open the app, hit record a tour, turn the screen off and stuff the phone in...

Dose anyone else use Komoot ? I've been happily using this free app to record my rides fo years and I’ve never question the accuracy of the information recorded, that is until now. since being in lockdown ( also being furloughed ) I’m riding nearly every day, a longer ebike ride at the weekend...
