    General Lee 29-42t cassette adapter

    Ok, so a lot of 10sp cassettes come in two pieces, this adapter simply replace the biggest three cogs with three larger cogs, the middle of which, as a 35t is about as big as a normal cassette would go (They're 34 or 36 in MTB varieties). The largest ring, a 42t, obviously makes a big difference...

    Leeds to Saltaire - Aire Valley Towpath - 10/11/13

    Looking at the pictures, the surface of that section looks pretty good, so i dont think we'll have a problem. Obviously mudguards are always useful...

    Wisper 705 Classic

    I'm about your height and weight and it was never an issue for my old 905se, and the new Whispers are probably much better.

    General Lee 29-42t cassette adapter

    It's not a single speed, it's a single chainring and 10spd derailleur.

    General Lee 29-42t cassette adapter

    Leonardi Factory General Lee 29- 42 10-speed Shimano Cassette Adapter - Action Sports-Bike Onlineshop Has anyone tried one of these? Seems like a good way to give a single chainring crank drive bike a good wide range of gears. Would allow my BS10 to keep its great top speed and climb just...

    How to keep my feet dry?

    Maybe, but only if your shoes have no gap between the sides of the tongue and the upper.

    Leeds to Saltaire - Aire Valley Towpath - 10/11/13

    Three of these in your trailer should do it, 36v 200ah, got to be good for 500 miles, although the weight will hurt hill climbing ability... 200 AH Leoch AGM Leisure Battery

    German Manufacturers attack ADAC test findings

    Things break, in all my years mountain biking I never broke a handlebar and the worst I did to a frame was bend it quite badly. I did not always have good quality bars and the frame I bent was a cheap one. I've seen others break almost every component, even on DH bikes designed for extreme use...

    My new top speed.

    So it was flat on the way in but it's up hill on the way back? :p

    How to keep my feet dry?

    It's difficult, I use waterproof socks, overshoes only really work with SPDs as otherwise the pedal tears them up. Seal Skin with waterproof over-trousers that prevent water running down the top of the sock are my current solution. Pretty good, but my shoes then still take three days to dry out.

    Eh? Jive Bike - Propshaft- how?

    I don't really think it looks particularly special. Reminds me of the Gocycle. I'm not sure shaft drive is a great idea either, it's nowhere near as efficient, for cleanliness I think belt drive would be a better option as it remains very efficient. The weight sounds good, almost too good to be...

    Brompton Nano or Kudos Secret?

    I've yet to see any 20" wheel folder that will fit in a typical hatchback with the parcel shelf in place. They all should if you're happy to remove it, but then the bike is on show of course and you may be worried about leaving the car parked with the bike in the back on show. The Brompton will...

    Leeds to Saltaire - Aire Valley Towpath - 10/11/13

    Anyone want to join me for this ride? I havent ridden it before myself, but i've heard it's very nice and goes out from Leeds city centre so it should be easily accessible for most people. Meet at the start of the trail at Granary Wharf at 10:30, you'll see me on a black Kalkhoff. Can...

    Bike Stand

    Most have a rotating head which lets them grip the seat tube or seat post instead. Where would be most stable depends on the battery and motor location of your bike, however with my old Wisper 905, despite the rear motor and behind the seatpost battery, the Revolution workstand was perfectly...
