I recently acquired this steel 1998 Specialized Stumpjumper from a local seller, who’d owned it from new. He’d bought it from Dales, long-established bike retailer in Glasgow. The seller explained that these days he’s into road and trail cycling, it wasn’t being used, so it had to go! An 18”...

So we were visiting friends in N Lanarkshire when I spotted a forlorn sight, leaning against a fence in a neighbour’s garden. What caught my attention were the Rockshox Judy XC forks, which I remember from the mid 90’s. These were attached to a Marin Pine Mountain, I’ve never owned a Marin and...

Hi folks, I hope someone can give me a few pointers on where I’m going wrong! I’ve had say 12 to 15 punctures in the past 12 months, all on the rear wheel. Both Presta and Schrader valves. The punctures are always around where the valve metal sleeve meets the rubber tube. See pics 1 and 2. The...

Hi folks, I've just removed an old freewheel from a Dunlop Special Lightweight 27" wheel which I recently acquired. See all pics. The wheel itself is dated 1964, so I guess the freewheel is 1964/65 - ish. Sadly the flange on the freewheel body is goosed, presumably due to a previous attempt...

Greetings to all, thought I’d put pen to paper re my recent acquisition a 1956 Raleigh Super Lenton. I bought the bike last winter off the Bay, but only got possession in the summer when my nephew transported it up the road from the south of England. What I liked was its description as “one...
