    Turbo trainer wheel

    Appreciate this may be better in the indoor training section but thought I'd give it a whirl... When is a turbo trainer tire done? Looks pretty spent to me and efficiency is poor (as its not for the road I don't mind that so much, just more training). But just looking some opinion and pointers...

    First fall, wheel and tyre need replacing?

    I’m fairly new to cycling and had my first fall yesterday, luckily it was at low speed and i’m just bashed and grazed, my bike took the worst of it. The roads where wet and my rear wheel kept locking up and slipping when going around bends, no matter how slow I went. My tyres were slicks at...

    Wheel bearings rant

    Is anyone else's piss boiling about throwing away good wheels because the bearing cups are worn out ? What a waste of resources and money just for a pressed in steel cup worth a couple of quid, if only they had made them replaceable. :cry: Rant over.

    Differentiated wheel rim heights?

    I'm just curious: what's the thinking behind different rim heights on the front and rear? And i'm even more intrigued to know about different rim heights on the same wheel. For example the Campagnolo Zonda front wheel rim height varies between 24 - 27mm; the rear 27-30mm Thanks.

    Electric assist on 2 wheel 'bent

    Does anyone have any experience of this? I have trouble on the Fuego climbing the Hampshire hills which tend to be sharp [all right not as bad as the West Country]. Lots of wobbling below 6 mph, so I wondered if some help might not be a good thing, or am I just being stupid?

    Re-rimming a Mavic wheel - will 1.5mm make a difference on spoke length?

    The rim on my 2008 rear Ksyrium SL is worn out and in the vain hope of keeping it alive for another year I've ordered the last available Ksyrium Elite S rim from a French website; the rim dimensions being identical although the Elite S is the black/silver finish. The parts pdfs show that both...

    (cough) rim brake wheel spacers for disc brake frames?

    Probably worth telling the whole sorry tale here... I had a gravel bike shipped over to my sister in Spain for me to use when I go over to visit and told the BIL to use it as he liked. Being a non-cyclist he decided to start off on a smart trainer to build up some fitness (it's pretty hilly...

    wheel laced off centre, why

    I was looking at the Boardman ADV 8.9 bike, and the wheels look to be laced off centre, one side of the rim sloes in and down towards the hub for about 3/4 of an inch, the other side slopes in and down towards the rim for about 5/8 of an inch. This means if the wheel is in the centre of the...

    Any Reynolds Attack/Assault wheel owners

    Looking at the disc brake versions and the lifetime warranty is a big plus. Any experiences of either. Importantly, given they are average width by modern standards (17mm internal and 25mm external) what width do your tyres rum on them? I'll be using 25mm Conti GP4000S.

    My chain jumped off the outer jockey wheel last week - it had never done that before and I was a bit confused to the cause. So, after a proper clean I noticed that it was "slightly" worn. Suffice to say - check your jockey wheels after a few thousand miles! top - worn jockey wheel bottom -...
