• Fibre flare

  in Bikes & Bits • 14 years, 1 month

  

  I've got one of the fibre flares and the light it gives off is great BUT, I have had to modify it to prevent it falling apart so often, bumpy roads or even knocking against it can pull it apart. Good old zip ties lol
  Talking of rear lights, going to buy red handlebar lights next, plug into the bar ends. These.

• Downtube shifters to ergo shifters? Possible?

  in Bikes & Bits • 14 years, 6 months

  

  I have a very old steel frame. The only probem I found with mine was that I went 9 speed on the rear and I have to pull the chainstays apart to get the rear wheel in and out - pain in the arse if I puncture but a great bike for the winter training sessions.

• Messenger / Courier Bags List

  in Bikes & Bits • 14 years, 6 months

  

  My lady is looking at these dutch bags Clarijs, although the courier bag (postman they call it) looks small I like the idea of it being recycled.

• Road Wheels & Road Wheel Recommendations?

  in Bikes & Bits • 14 years, 8 months

  

  You could try the wheelroom as they make hand built wheels. Uses cadence rims which come in light - got to have light hubs too obviously, give them a ring.
  Where you going?

• Shiny Bikes (shinybikes.com)

  Who is the IRD distributor here in the UK FFS??

  Erm, to Jaygee, handbuilt, specc'ed to your weight and untended use, pay more for and pay more attention to who builds it, than the components, possibly , even. pay less attention to late night grammar.

  My 2p.

  DT R520 FTW.

  You can get the rims on their own www.roadacecomponents.co.uk.
  Halo do the Aero ones in white too.

• Which wheels to choose?

  in Bikes & Bits • 14 years, 10 months

  

  Cranks, so why are the Open Sport on Ambrosio hubs in your example worth £72 more than the Open Sport on Zenith hubs from eBay seller?

  Or do you actually use buttons as currency where the difference wouldn't matter so much?

  Why you asking me that question? Maybe the ebay seller has lots to clear? I don't know - ask them!

  I posted the velodrama site as a suggestion for wheels to look at, as requested by Betty. Thats what this forum is for.
