• Anyone Fancy Lending Me a Bike Bag?

  Have always used a Carboard bike box to take my pride and joy abroad.They're normally free from most local bikeshops and seem to hold up pretty well.I normally ask for a Giant box if possible they seem to be nice and tough,put of plenty of fragile tape on it and bubble wrap inside and bobs your uncle.

• Chain skipping a tooth on a new chainset, chain and sprocket. Help?!

  Sounds as though the chain could have a stiff link as previously mentioned,check it again and again it may not be visible straight away.The size of your chainrings is fine,that shouldn't make a difference.

  I would have to agree with dan.If it was me i would personally ditch the 9 speed chain and opt for something alittle wider like a standard width BMX chain and try that before anything else.

  I recently stayed at this Hotel:

  http://www.grupotel.com/hoteles.php?idh=&le=en&id_orgien=&id_ref=grupotel.com&id_noticia=&idh=45

  Was within walking distance of all central places,including the bus station that takes about 20 minutes to get to and from the Airport.

  I also managed to stumble across this shop whilst going to the food shop,it's called Espai Bici sold alot of nice modern parts and a suprising large range of BLB components nice shop.

  Nice to read stories like this,after having a nasty accident and then the fear of it being lost/stolen would be gutting.

  Only to find a decent cyclist did what he did.

  Don't spend £70 on a Profile spline drive sprocket definately opt for the Tree lite.
