Having a bit of trouble finding a replacement for my freehub. The cassette has caused some damage on the body.

I think the old hub is from formula. It has come off a Marin MTB bike.

No numbers or indication of spec for the old one.

Looking for a reasonably priced alternative. Any help appreciated.

Thanks

@Chak Usually comes from tight ITB or glutes pulling the knee out of its natural line during the pedal stroke. Have someone film you from front and behind and see if your knees are dropping in towards the top tube. Narrow stance (feet too close to cranks) can also be an issue.

Had a fit with these guys last week which was fantastic. Diego the owner was very welcoming and could have easily sold me a new saddle and shoes but is more concerned with customer satisfaction than his profits. They fly Guiseppe the Italian in once a month for the traditional fits who seems to have centuries of experience and made me feel like a pro.

After the initial session there are two follow up sessions once you have ridden some distance. Total cost is £169.

The studio is out by Bishops Stortford so easily accessible from London Liverpool Street.

Also take your secret credit card as they have some very nice Italian stuff in the show room.

You're taking your life in your own hands riding at 40mph on any busy London road. Risking your life by rushing places just like the bean tin drivers.

Very nice.

Anyone have any advice where I can buy a decent size tub of cardon assembly paste? All I can find online is 100ml for £10.

Thanks.

Can't recommend anywhere specific but my advice would be stay away from the computer fits (Retul etc). Go for a traditional fit with an experienced fitter.

I'm going here tomorrow.

So after all of the above can anyone recommend a suitable 11 speed quick link for a campy chain? All quite pricey online compared to the 10 speed versions.

Very nice frame. Also jealous.

At £50 a pop, no thanks Bradley.

@hippy was your switch to mid foot a gradual change or did you just make the adjustment and ride? Looking into it myself as I've also had achilles problems this year. From what I have read it feels weird when trying to accelerate rapidly but is an ideal position for long rides. Any advice on which shoes allow this much adjustment? Need something narrow like a Sidi or Mavic.

Should be a good atmosphere in the velodrome. Anyone planning on going? Hopefully tickets aren't too pricey.

Anyone got a SRAM Avid Elixer 1 bleeding kit I could borrow urgently. Would order one online but need to get my bike ready for a trip on Thursday.

Thanks

Very nice. Enjoy it all.

Anyone got one of the above freewheel tools they'd like to give/sell me?

Thanks

Is there a current thread for help on how to restore old frames and parts?

Can't seem to find anything

Thanks

Does anyone have any bike fitting or purchasing experience with http://www.racerrosabicycles.co.uk ?

Looking at a fit with them next week and they use the old fashioned way as opposed to the Retul computer fit which I have had a bit of a nightmare with.
