  • 2 locks?

  • 2 locks?

    Or 1 lock through both halves of the spaceframe, and hope no-one nicks the wheels? (This is bucolic Cheshire...).

  • QR seatpost and only one Fag mini through the middle. ball bearing glued in the stem. my wheels have track nuts on solid axles. I would use a QR front wheel and always take it with me.

  • alarm disc padlock to lock the two frame together.

    simple.

    will post a picture to show an example.

  • 4 locks?

    Fixed that for me.

  • My Cycle2Work TSR2 turned up last night - rescued it before Halfords got their mitts on it, and built it up in half-an-hour. That kick-shift/coaster-brake combo takes some getting used to - lots of five-foot skids when trying to shift at the moment :)

  • Starting to think about building up a fixed-wheel for it - any recommendations for a (preferably) double fixed hub which will slot in where the Sturmey S2C slips out?

  • my recommendation is to ride the Moulton as much as possible first before deciding upon it.

    technically a fixed wheel wouldn't really work that well on the Moulton, it was hard climbing up hill with the lack of rotational weight, but since you're getting a double fixed hubs, you can have one side freewheel if you find the fixed to be a bit of a burden.

  • Its really just to do some flat 100k audaxes on to pick up FWC points. 99% of the time I intend to be duomatic.

  • Had it a week and replaced just about everything ahead of the headtube!

  • First ride on my newly fixed TSR2 (TSR1?) - a 150k audax. Maybe a bit slower than my usual Langster - but I haven't sorted out the gearing (just bunged on a 13t cog to give 63" rather usual 70"-ish - but its a good gear to have with 90-miles behind you...). All felt good - certainly didn't feel a lack of flywheel effect.

  • Any chance of an update Northern Graeme?

  • A blast from the past! Haven't been here for years...

    Did a few 200k audaxes on it, perfecting the spec - two rear sprockets (69 and 63"), day rack and bag, moving the brake around (from original position to bar end), stiffer fork spring, narrower higher-pressure tyres, etc. Then finally did a 300k audax, which rather finished me off - never did another after that, and the Moulton was shoved, unwashed, under the stairs. Bought one of those new-fangled road bikes with gears and spent a year on that. Then, a few months ago, I moved office to easy cycling distance from my house. Pulled the Moulton out and started using that, but the spec was all wrong - so everything got changed back to OEM spec - kick-shift and all. Seems Moulton got the spec right for commuting! Have added the lovely SKS mudguards, and am looking to see if I can retrofit belt drive.

  • Awesome that you've still got it and it's having a new lease of life. How do you find it for city riding/ commuting compared to your old langster?
