Managed to lose the bolt and washer to clamp the gear cable when I snapped my hanger. Got a new inner cable in before realising, and a LBS said they couldn't order a new one and didn't have a spare when doing it. Where can I get one does anyone know please? It's a sram NX1 mech

@speculoos sorry I didn't see this - both 25.4mm I am 99.9% sure. Any good?

Cheers @jj72

Another stupid question, changing the tyres on my mtb which is NOT setup tubeless, half the tyre is glued to the rim, which I've never seen before. What's the point of doing that and is carefully ripping it off the best bet? :)

Stupid simple question but quick Google tells me SRAM MTB chains aren't directional, couldn't find anything specific on the pc1110 for the nx1 drive chain though. Is this correct? Cheers

paid :)

Decided on (A1) White please for my XL. I'm (4th from bottom on the latest list)
-bobble

White (A1) or (D5) Military Green XLarge please if not too late? Will confirm colour by editing this later today when I decide!

Clear-out! Lots of parts for sale and some misc bits too.
I do not live in London currently. I will post everything for an extra £2.50, though the starred items are collection only from Sheffield due to cost/lack of boxes, or I could meet the buyer at King’s Cross or Islington the next time I visit my sister in a few weeks. Please let me know if any prices are way off, and I will donate roughly 5-10% of whatever the cumulative total is to the forum.

Couldn't find an appropriate thread to ask this on - can anyone recommend a good smart watch for cycling and running please? Not too bothered about a plethora of smart watch features and I have no desire to view texts on a watch

No real bargains but seller whittling down a large collection of classic lightweights https://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/theclockbarn/m.html?_nkw=&_armrs=1&_ipg=&_from=

@spotter one on 'bay atm https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/SALSA-VAYA-2-2015-BICYCLE-CHRIS-KING-SURLY-HALO/292662635610

@MCamb I am potentially interested in it! Been speaking to the seller, it is Dedaccia steel tubing - which I know nothing about. Is it that much of a bargain? It is pure cross - no rack/guard mounts which makes it less versatile

Will PM you about stems shortly - I have a few. Looks good!

Love builds like this. Some inspiration via @t0-ster https://www.pedalroom.com/bike/marin-redwood-28664

Enjoying my new MTB and riding in Sheffield too. I sold my Kaffenback, hoping to use the funds from that, the fixed madigan and this Dawes to have a better steel road bike with guards for commuting/odd longer rides/riding into town and maybe some light touring. End of thread I guess - cheers for all the help.

Dawes is fully done and may be up for sale soon (any interest here?). Just had a new headset and shimano V brakes installed by a local mechanic, and I just bolted on the Bluemels and nukeproof grips.

Did anyone here buy that Olmo? Such a steal

Huge XL retro mtb, kona, shimano https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1990-Kona-Cinder-Cone-mountain-bike-XL-21-frame-retro-and-rebuilt/223136293383?hash=item33f3f5a207:g:v6AAAOSwJFhbk7cW

Hi,

after one 27.5 x 2.4 and one 27.5 x 2.6 MTB tyre please. Anyone got anything lightly used that I could buy please? Wouldn't know what to get online and don't want to spend a fortune.

Thanks :)

Also built the madigan up, but I need to sell that unfortunately and maybe even this Dawes, because I am collecting a proper MTB tonight (Trek Roscoe 8) and need the space and funds. Been after an XL hardtail, 27.5, 1x with a dropper post for a while.

Commuted to work all summer which was enjoyable on my Kaffenback, even if the cycling infrastructure in the Midlands/North isn't quite there yet.

Small update: I need to take this to my LBS to get the headset installed and to get some cables. V brakes and grips upgraded.

Hello - I bought some brake levers on eBay 90s shimano (guessing) to fit on some cinelli bars from similar period but they are too narrow. What levers / size should I be looking at for these bars please? They fitted on some old British drop bars I had lying around but these are wrong for the stem

I have similar dilemmas with myself all the time. If I were you, I would not want to ruin or downgrade the Argos and would share the concern with locking it. Why don't you keep that on the wall as a feature that you can still use, still then have 3 bikes (photo attached) and build up a beater with 32c/rack/guards that you can lock anywhere/maybe keep outside (photo attached). Could you keep a beater at work?

Have you got the seatpost?
