After having a 'give it a go' moment trying to change the bearings in my hubs and free hubs on my Fulcrum 7's, without the right tools, I nearly fucked things right up. So not one to give in I've lashed out and ordered a bearing press and puller as it was about the same price as getting the LBS to do it:

To save you the same torment of 'why am I not a real man and can do something without fucking things-up' feel free to PM me if you want to come round and use them in exchange for a couple of quid contribution/beers. Live in Balham.

Excellent tutorial! So good in fact it gave me the confidence to try and replace the bearings in the hubs and freehub of my Fulcrum 7's. They came out with a few well directed welts of a rubber mallet, trouble was getting the new ones back in using a socket as a drift (they don't have a through axle to use as a press). One side was pretty easy but the other side wouldn't go in straight. Tried several times, including the heat the hub freeze the bearings trick. Ended up buggering up a couple of the bearings. Bit the bullet and just ordered these:

Given that the LBS quoted about £50-£60 thought it made more sense. Anyhows if anyone wants to come round and use them you can in exchange for a few quid contribution. Be better than f*%$ing up your wheels! Live in Balham. PM me if it would be of use.

Am very sad to have to be parting with my first and only fixie - too many kids and not enough space. I love this bike and have had some great fun riding through London on it. I bought the frame and forks as a second hand bike and replaced everything with new stuff, except the headset and saddle, in Oct 2014. I spent just over £600 on it. It's not done a massive amount of miles and has been kept inside and well looked after. Taken my decent pedals off it but got a pair of cheapo Wellgo's to go with it.

Hi. I did a similar ride a couple of years ago, solo, over 3 days, staying in B & B's. Brilliant ride. I started further east in Chepstow. Lovely quiet roads north of there. I took in 2 of Wales' highest roads - Gospel Pass and Hell (!?) Pass above Bala. Wasn't that fit at the time so nearly killed me! Routes are here:

Topeak Babysitter child's seat with rack. Fantastic seat used 5 times so is in almost new condition. Rack is suitable for bikes with disc brakes. Filed off a tiny fraction on inside of rack mounts to get it to fit on my bike. I've shown this on one of the pics and it doesn't affect the rack's strength at all. Paid £120 for the seat and £25 for the rack off Amazon. £70 from Balham or will deliver nearby. No offers or posting. Thanks.
