  Hi,

  sorry for starting a new thread - i see there has been some like this, but not for a few months so things have likely changed...

  i have an 18T freewheel barely used at all (new from GBH but quite a few months ago), would like to swap for a good nick 19T... does anyone have one going?

  thanks!

  john.

  im sad because ive recently realised charge have made a black plug with brown seat and tape that looks very much like my old peugeot conversion, who have obviously copied mine.

  must nod more at people, but i do smile often.

  happened to me, turned out it was the rails on the brookes saddle. a tighten and a dab of oil in the tensioning nut shut it up...

  recharge all the way. i run 2 electron spots on the front to shoot lasers into drivers eyes (8xAAA) and a rear something with 2xAAA. all various brand rechargeables, just watch for the capacities. cheap ones are usually around 700mah, but decent/good ones are 1000mah or more. AA batteries are higher capacities.

  anyway, get a recharger and save some landfill space.
