    Tacx Satori Smart trainer with wheel holder - £100 - Dewsbury, West Yorks

    A Tacx Satori Smart trainer which comes with wheel holder and skewer. This was purchased as a customer return from Wiggle in January 2018. Looks like it wasn't used and we've used it for under an hour. My 13 year-old prefers his Elite Volare and it only confirmed I hate turbo trainers. Comes...

    Mouse wheel scrolling

    I think the following newly added snippets of code that gives the scroll by page feature is taking focus away from the mousewheel. What happens is that you're happily scrolling away, then it will just freeze, then you have to click on the page to get it to work again. I adblocked the following...

    Wheel Steal

    I managed to win some very tidy 700c wheels of a Specialized Tricross on fleabay I took a gamble that A) they would take a 9 speed cassette (had an 8 speed) B) they weren't too wide at the hub and especially the rim On close inspection they are only a tad wider than all my other 700c road...

    New wheel fitted by LBS - now it feels like I'm riding through treacle.

    Rear wheel was worn so paid too much money for a new wheel including labour at my LBS. New wheel was a bottom end of the market Shimano wheel (about 70 quid), but still supposedly better than the old alex rims wheel. Since then, it has felt much harder work cycling. My average has gone down and...

    Wheel scewers, do both ends screw off completely ?

    I was cleaning the wheels quite thoroughly this morning. I decided to check that the quick release lever & the nut on the other end, were screwed on by an equal amount along the scewer. For example, I did not want one end to only be on by a couple of threads with the risk of it coming off...

    Safe to ride with rear wheel wobble?

    My rear wheel bearing needs tightening or possibly new ball bearings. No problems with that. However I won't be able to do it until tonight at the earliest. Safe to ride the bike before it's fixed or not? Fair bit of wobble on the wheel.

    Replace hub or buy new wheel?

    I have a Genesis Croix de Fer with Alexrims XD Elite wheels but the rear hub bearing is shot because the previous owner didn't tighten the nuts enough. Is it easy to re-lace the spokes onto a new hub or should I just buy a new wheel? If so, any ideas for something sturdy enough to ride on...

    Boardman 29er - Wheel Upgrade?

    Hi all, I have a Boardman 29 er, 2015 model, which I love and fits me perfectly but I feel I could get a little better speed with a wheel upgrade. I do not have a clue where to start except the bike cost £900 I probably do not want to spend a huge fortune. Most gratefully for any advice. thanks

    rear wheel wobble campag

    I,m running Campagnolo khamsin wheels on the winter bike. The rear has developed lateral movement. They are fitted with cartridgebearings.

    How do I pringle a wheel?

    Re-built a wheel as my rim was badly worn (calling Fnaar). What do I do with the old rim to fit it into the rubbish bag? Or just D-lock it to a lampost overnight and let the scrotes do me a favour?

    Front wheel shudder question?

    I'm looking for possible causes to my Genesis Equilibrium front wheel shuddering whilst braking. It's definitely a new thing but I was on a steep downhill section and I was trying to keep the speed under strict control as there was quite a few hidden patches of thick ice, so I was probably...

    Which hub in new front wheel build?

    Going to get my LBS to build me a new front wheel either later today or mid week (depending on how long today's last minute xmas shopping takes). When I had a chat with the guy last week he recommended either going for a Shimano 105 or a Hope hub. From what I recall the Hope hub would add...

I'm gonna be getting a new bike in either 2018/9, but going to keep this one as my run around and been wanting to try fixed for a while...

    Riding on a wheel which is rattling (bearings)

    So, just as I set off for work this morning (very late), I could hear and almost feel the rattle of ball bearings coming from the front wheel hub. It's very noticeable, and just started when I left the house this morning. I rode into work OK, with nothing wrong aside from the rattling noise -...

    Brompton rear wheel spoke cover question

    I've just replaced 2 spokes on my 2008 rear wheel. Unfortunately now that it is reassembled and back on the bike, the spoke cover/hub cover has been discovered lying on the workbench. How essential is this for keeping crud out of the hub? Should I disassemble and refit this now or leave it in...

    Quick release wheel question?

    I had the bike on the stand on Sunday afternoon to give it a good clean before the salt from the morning commute ate it. I took both wheels off so I wouldn't get any detergent on my disc brakes, but as I went to remove the rear wheel I realised it was seized. I got it off easy enough, and took...

    Ceramic Wheel Bearings

    Been looking around for wheels. Found a cracking deal on a set similar to what I was after. They come with Ceramic bearings. How well would these stand up to using this though Winter? Are they worth the extra cash and potential handle?
