Not really about cycling, other than in the sense that having the
Brom made it feasible, but I was at Olympia today and took a detour
via Lillie Road, where my grandparents lived in my youth. One of
the great excitements in life was the appearance of blue and white
striped paper bags from Patrick's Toys - and the ...

Guy,
Stop talking about the shits, and to the shits, and start talking about
bikes. Percolate oxygen through the sewage and save u.r.c.

Repairing disc brakes
Thu, 02 Oct 2008 13:55:59 +0100
Due to initial neglect and then extended procrastination the disc brakes
on my MTB are wrecked. Over last winter something happened
(freeze-thaw?) causing the brake fluid to ooze out at both ends of the
lines and gelify or gunkify.
I now want to repair this after doing nothing about it for the whole of
the ...

Bike shops/frames
Thu, 2 Oct 2008 05:19:07 -0700 (PDT)
Hi all,
A colleague has asked about having a titanium frame built or getting
a titanium bike. He has come to me but as I don't frequent that price
bracket I have come to you. He's looking for a frame in sub ¡ê800
range, preferably built to his size rather than off the peg.
Suggestions for shops with excessi ...

This is to bring the official definition into line with the unofficial
definition which has been used for quite some time by uk.rec.cycling
subscribers and regulars. Over the last year, there have been

Handlebar/stem/brakes question.
2 Oct 2008 10:12:47 GMT
I currently run a 25.4mm diameter handlebar on a Trans-X Components
'Shorty' stem with a reducer in the stem to suit the thin bars. I want
to change the bars to stronger 38.1mm as I'm starting to get a bit more
adventurous again as my health and fitness return. No worries on the
stem/handlebar as such but the qu ...

Ride this morning
Thu, 2 Oct 2008 02:49:11 -0700 (PDT)
I got up early today (half six!) as the young lady needed an early
start. Not having any particular need to be in work before 10, I
decided to go for a spin. Togged up, dropped a change of clothes off
at the office, then went riding.
Traffic was bad around the villages south of Cambridge; I've not
encountered ...

Enough!
Thu, 2 Oct 2008 01:09:18 -0700 (PDT)
I just want to talk about cycling but in the past few weeks it has
been more like a children's playground in here! I'moff to other forums
where people actually talk about bikes and don't argue and get upset
over people they have never met or care about. You lot are so sad. Get
a life! ...
