Frank Herety bike/frame
Hi, I’ve tried the wanted thread with no success so I hope you don’t mind me trying this one which seems to be a little more popular. I know this is a long shot but a few years ago I disposed of most of my cycling equipment thinking that due to illness that it was very unlikely I’d ever ride again. ...

Frank Herety bike / frame
Hi, I know this is a long shot but a few years ago I disposed of most of my cycling equipment thinking that due to illness that it was very unlikely I’d ever ride again. However here I am now years later and healthy again, on the long hard road to some kind of fitness. I gave some things away to a c...

Hi Darren Upgrading your bike to STI/ Ergopower levers can be slightly complicated due to the vast choice of components available and also it depends on what your existing set-up comprises. For example if you wish to upgrade to Shimano 105 STI levers, you also need a compatible rear gear, suitable c...

It's not very often you have to change jockey wheels---a lot of gear changing probs come from stiff links in the chain--this can cause the rear gear cage to jump. I suggest give everything a good cleaning and lubricating. I've seen some jockey wheels worn really badly but still working fine. If the ...
