I keep a few bikes and other things in a lock up garage about a mile from home. I only pop in once every couple of months.
It doesn't seem very damp but my Brooks B17 on an unused (mostly!) touring bike builds up a layer of green mould over that time. A wipe with a cloth sorts it. A much...
Waiting for one of these to arrive.Just bought one of these for my new road bike , it has lots of good reviews Has anybody here got first hand experience of it ? always suspicious of the so called " reviews " on bike sale websites
Hi selling a specialized Romin Evo 155 saddle which I have advertised as used but it was fitted to my bike then realized I needed a 143 so was too wide for me, it does have marks on the rails unfortunately through bike fitting but other than that it is in excellent condition. Looking for £50
Hi there
I’ve got a BMC Team Machine carbon bike which I love - I've had it for nearly 2 years now. On the back of it, I have a Topeak saddle bag. When it was being fitted, the saddle had to be moved back slightly to accommodate the saddle bag fittings. I do overstretch a bit but I’m used to...
I went out to my shed today and found that for the first time in two and a half years i had a rear puncture.
All my tools and spare tubes are in my small topeak saddle bag. Unfortunately the zipper had rustened and although i sprayed wd40 on it wouldn't budge. In the end i took a stanley knife...

I went out on my e bike today and once again I have pain down the left hand side near my privates, I had it after my previous ride but it went away, the doctor is sending for a scan. I`m looking at one of the saddles that don`t have a long front section like this...
I have this rather sad looking leather saddle in the garage and just wandered what will be the best way forward ?
Someone has suggested rubbing the dried out leather down to remove the broken bits then re treat with proofhide .
That sounds harsh to me
Only used a handful of times on light trails. Excellent condition, almost as new bar the lightest scuff (pictured) rear right, which can't be felt and only seen - as 3 minutes trying to angle at the light to get a pic of it proves - under the closest scrutiny.

Anyone got CODA 900 or suggest something very similar. Its for a 1996 Cannondale M500. I trashed the original in the New Forest and it was really comfy.
I noticed a lot of community drop in mechanics rack up bikes on a bit of scaffolding.
My friend had his roof done last year and they left one long section, which is essentially going spare.
I am considering firing it across the shed to hang bikes, but here are my thoughts:

I have for sale a Fabric scoop shallow elite saddle. I think it is 142mm wide, but cannot remember for sure. It is in as new condition, I just did not get on with the shape of it. I am after £20 including postage.
I have a Topeak wedge II saddle bag. It is a micro saddle bag. I just used it for a few rides before I went to a different storage system. It comes with a spare saddle mount. I am looking for £10 including postage.
Hi,
Black Ewe's road bike now has flat bars on it as this is more comfortable and confidence inspiring than drop bars where she was struggling to cover the brakes.
The next thing is to replace the saddle as it's probably too narrow for her as it's actually the one that came attached to the...
I have just bought a 1952 Raleigh Lenton Sport with its original Brooks B15 saddle still in usable condition , tried reproofing it with proofied but a lot of black came off on the cloth , it looks like it may have had boot polish put on it or perhaps going black with age is normal if it is...

Hi All
I tend to ride in a very straight up position.
I have used leather saddles for over 25-30 years until recently when my bottom and meddle parts were getting numb. It resulted in physical problems.
So I bought a saddle with the middle remove. All well and good. [well...]
The problem with...
This has been used for no more than 30 miles so is in excellent condition. It has manganese rails so feels really lightweight, the rails are perfect and have no clamp marks.

It's been a few weeks since we had a "which shorts" thread....
I don't like bib shorts, and I don't like spending money on fashion items. I just want a pair of decent padded lycra shorts that will keep me relatively comfortable through an on-road 100 miler. No-one need tell me about not needing...
Long shot while waiting for Dahon support to get back - anyone know the size of the above? (It's a Vitesse D7 for what it's worth).
I'm trying to get the bits together to fit a Brooks B66S double railed saddle to the other halfs Dahon. I have the Breezer adaptor but I need to get a longer bolt...
I started a thread a few days ago about saddle comfort, but I thought it might be a good idea to post some videos on how to select the proper saddle for maximum comfort.
