    single gear bikes

    I worked in Square Wheel for a while and we used to joke about the regression of bike technology with the fixies but then I had a go of one and got hooked. Someone on a roadbike will most likely beat you in a race and you can end up spining your legs like mad thing when your going down steep...

    could be a gourd like Asterix used to drink out of. in which case the break away faction are fucked.

    Jaysus cycling!

    I'm on my fourth saddle cover so i can second the rob-able comment, the solution i found was to get a bit of old brake cable and thread it through where the drawstring goes on the cover, then fasten this to one of the saddle rails by crushing a copper washer with a vice grips around the brake...

    BIKES - converting city bike to touring?

    I'd say that bike would fine for light touring with some mudguards, a rack and some panniers. maybe some wider tyres for comfort if they'll fit. Ridgeback make good bikes so i wouldn't worry about snapping a frame. touring bikes tend to have a relaxed geometry and longer wheelbase which helps...

    Jaysus cycling!

    is your bike an old road bike by any chance? it might have 27" wheels instead of the more common 700c wheels modern road bikes have. they're just slightly larger in diameter. if you have the old tyre it should have the size printed on the sidewall if you take the old tyre or wheel to a shop they...

    Jaysus cycling!

    the Internet's a spooky place all right. i got mine from that website, they're based in the north and they do free delivery so yo can't go wrong really. I've gotten a fair few bits and pieces from them and never had a problem. not sure who might sell them in Dublin. Cyclelogical sells brooks...

    Jaysus cycling!

    Brooks saddles aren't water proof, you should really keep them dry. i use one of these. they're cheap and work great. it folds up small enough to fit between the rails of my saddle when I'm cycling. they have a velcro strap thing that you can use to attach the cover to the saddle rail but you...

    chainreactioncycles.com are great, nice selection of tools and parts a bit focused on mountain biking and the newest equipment but if they have it they have the best prices and free postage to Ireland and the UK so they're usually the first place i check. one of my favorites for hard to find...

    Virtual Bike Workshop

    I've never used them myself but nearly every second bike at the Cycle Messengers World Championships at the weekend had them, so i guess they're pretty reliable. they're supposed to be pretty tough and relatively lightweight and they look deadly. The ones with Machined sidewalls are for brakes...

    Virtual Bike Workshop

    ^^ this should sort your problem, I wasn't sure from your post if the gear slipping is happening when your changing gears or when your cycling and they slip and the pedal just seems to move forward. If it's the latter your chain and gears could be worn. Hair Iron Madin pretty much covered this...

    knitting wool

    there's a small shop between the UGC cinema and the bike shop on Parnell street (maybe it's past the bike shop, i'm not sure, but definitely on that side of the street). they're pretty cheap for the acrylic stuff and they have bargain baskets.
