freecoaster hubs
06 Sep 2008 12:26:57 GMT
Some time ago (years ago) there was a short thread about the
mechanical internals of my daughter's tricycle wheel. Just in case
anyone forgot (unlikely, I know), the summary is that it looks like a
normal child's tricycle, with cranks off the axle of the front wheel,
but it will both freewheel and drive in bo ...

The increased danger to other road users by drivers who use handheld
mobile phones is well known:
Research shows that reactions times are about 50 per cent slower and

Folding handlebar stem for a MTB?
Sat, 06 Sep 2008 10:57:21 +0100
Hi All,
I've had a quick search through here and can't see this has been
covered previously and Google has come up with nothing so:
Does anyone make a quick fold A-Head 1-1/8" stem or some such that
would allow you to move standard / basic MTB bars from horizontal to
(say) vertical so the bike would take up ...

suggestions for new bike
Fri, 5 Sep 2008 22:55:25 +0100
My road bike is becoming worn out and I feel that it won't take much more
commuting and exposure to the UK weather so I am looking to get a
replacement. My commute is an undulating 19 mile round trip with two steep
hills on the way in with a mile of continuous ascent at the end. The route
is virtually all rura ...

In my ignorance, I do not remember hearing of Ian Hibell, until now. I

Somewhere in what passes for my memory, I seem to recall you had a
small part in the programme that ousted Dick Barton from the airwaves.
I read it on the internet, so it must be true.
Was it as Christine Barford's son?
