I’ve noticed that this chainring seems to be offset on one side and is therefore not reversible. It’s also expensive at around £27. Any solutions to this? Is there some sort of adaptor where I can use the normal reversible chainrings which cost around £10 and therefore not have to buy the...

I recently bought a 2nd hand bike but the bontrager 54t Rapid Drive free hub sounds like a biscuit tin full of angry wasps. No way do I want this awful noise in the countryside. If I wanted the sound of a fishing reel everywhere I go I’d take up angling instead of cycling. What’s the solution...

Hi, not had a dropper post before so could do with some advice. I loosened the clamp as seat was too high and adjusted the height. Now the lever seems slack presumably because the cable is now loose. How do I correct this? Is it simply a matter of rotating the barrel adjuster?

So how does one go about carrying a spare battery around for a bike such as a trek powerfly? It has an internal 500wh battery. Presumably I have to buy another battery cover for the new battery and presumably other parts too? This seems a bit of a pain as I’ll have to try and find the correct...

Recently bought an exposure Diablo helmet light but the vents on my current helmet are not central which means the light is either too far forward or towards the side which unbalances the helmet as the diablo light is fairly heavy. Any suggestions for a helmet which is suitable for light...

Noticed a difference between two Bosch Gen 2 motors with the chain off. Spinning the cranks backwards both appear fine, very little friction so I’m assuming main drive bearing fine on both bikes. However when spinning the other way there is a noticeable difference between the two motors. One...

For several years I’ve run tubes with Tannus armour and never had a puncture. Bike is kept outside in a metal bike shed and is exposed to wide fluctuations of temperature throughout the year. Current tyres (Nobby Nics) are perishing and tiny cracks across the surface like crazy paving. I’m...

My rims are tubeless ready but ordered cheapish Smart Sam tyres 29 x 2.6 Not sure these are suitable for tubeless setup but what is likely to go wrong if I were to try?

Planning on replacing worn jockey wheels on Shimano XT 11 speed. Is thread lock actually necessary or recommended and if so how much do you apply?

I have a 2019 reaction hybrid and would like to replace the awful headset cage bearings with cartridge bearings. How do I go about this? How easy is it?

Am I the only one with an addiction to pocket multi-tools? I’ve got about 10 of them now and they all do the same thing. Is there something like Multi-tool anonymous I can go to for weekly sessions?

I’ve never seen this before. Wish I had known about it before I bought my spare 500wh battery, but to be fair I’m not sure this would fit inside my EVOC e-ride backpack

Asked the misses would it be a nice idea to go out for a cycle and get some fish and chips. She thought it was a great idea but suddenly the look of horror filled her face when she realised we were going to cycle 83 miles there and back to get them ? So we left the Surrey Hills (near Box Hill)...

After endless searching I can’t seem to find the large lower bearing arrowed below. Any suggestions?

Hot weather? Using washing up liquid on them? UV rays? Maybe they perish and need replacing after a couple of years or is there something I can do to get rid of the horrible stickiness?

In summary, this appears to be an additional mode which sits between Tour and EMTB. It automatically adjusts assistance from Eco all the way to Turbo. You potentially get more range compared to Tour or EMTB because with Tour + It shifts down to eco on the flat...

I’m guessing not £3500 a year to keep your ebike going? Some of us are, apparently ?

Which rotor removing tool attachment do I need for my Shimano hubs? 44mm or 41mm? I’ve no idea, they all look the same in the photos

Replaced top cage bearing as a few ball bearings were cracked. Removed the brake callipers so I could take forks out and clean properly. Cleaned everything and made sure top and lower cage bearings were all greased properly. Now I’m getting a judder then braking. I can see the lower forks...
