Male cyclist knocked off by a car on the mini-roundabout outside Blackheath Gates around 8.30 this morning.

Ambulance arrived just as I went past - rider was sitting up and alert but hurt, with the car driver and others in attendance.

Offloading a vintage child-size bike. This one is FREE.

It's an old Falcon 5 speed. Needs a fair bit of attention and will never be lightweight, modern or cool but could be interesting for a pre-teen riding Eroica Britannia or similar, or as a beater/mechanic project.

Pickup from Blackheath only.

I can see a new Bike Tag game here where Forum-peeps leave a bike somewhere and the challenge is to find it before some random takes it.
O-Bike Tag of O-Bike.

Everyone seems to know the destination already, and Sky have said nothing about retaining him so it must be a done deal..

Even with Elbowgate and Porte's unhappy exit, this is the dullest Tour since When?

Thoughts please..

IAM tried it and the UCi banned their first version. They came back with something else very similar..

Also MTN-Quebeka tried names once I think...

I really thought you were going to scratch in the first few days. And then I remembered you were @hippy.

Awesome effort.

Selling our youngests' Islabike Bein20L.

Good working condition with the usual minor cosmetic knocks you'd expect from a well-loved kids bike..

These bikes are fantastic for under 10's. Well-built and good componentry specifically for little hands.

Saw you guys rolling around the road track like bosses as I nervously headed inside for my first track session..
Chapeau to organsisers.

Good one! If Dimples was Scouse, you could have called it The Liver Bird..

Carlton K-watch.

It's pissing down in Romandie and somehow he just manages to conjure up "Fighting Germans in the desert? We used to do a bit of that. Monty vs Rommel.."

It's time for a proper change, Eurosport. It's unnecessary, embarrassing and offensive.

Seriously considering getting my bike to you for a makeover..

I'll drop you a DM.

Loved your paint on the Toad bike... Really beautiful work.

Lovely - sorely tempted..

I'll be there all three days manning the Massif Central stand - drop by and say Hi. Chatting to Forumongers is always a nice break from the sales talk!

thanks Ed - I'll give it a go..

I feel like a naughty kid in front of the Headteacher right now..

I had to 'open up' the parts that push the pads inwards to get enough clearance for the disc to go in between the new pads...
I cleaned some rust off the disc with some sandpaper...
I fiddled with the adjustment barrel once I found that the brakes weren't biting so much...
Same for the cable tension.

Just changed pads on my HyRd's.

Back is fine but front not longer gives full bite. The lever works and the pad clamps the disk with enough force to stop it when I spin the wheel on the stand but when I'm on it too, the force isn't great enough and the wheel keeps rotating... Pretty sure I've installed it correctly..

Any ideas? - loss of pressure inside the mechanism?
