    Fit a new set of front forks and headset. Made all the specialist tools for race removal and fitting from following youtube vids. Delighted with the outcome.

    Anyone know of a good place for bike parts online other then Wiggle and chain reaction? Or does anyone have a set of threaded 1 inch forks for a road bike?

    It's bollix that it even came to that, he should have just said it was €40 fine and thats that. Adding in bike confiscation and penalty points would enrage me tbh

    You do not require a licence to cycle a bike, my opinion/argument would be that they cant punish you on your car/motorbike/truck/etc.. where the vehicle you committed the offence is not covered under that licence. Under that logic he could bare you from using a motorboat for breaking a red light.

    Jaysus cycling!

    It was in clontarf, there was a left turn and i was going straight. The traffic was heavy and was moving slow. As i crossed the junction the car on the junction decided to turn left and just hit me. Hadnt a hope, i saw the front wheels turn just before she moved and all but at that stage i was...

    My headset bearings are fucked!!!! I've got standard a 1 inch headset but i've been informed that the stem on my folks is very short so i need (if they exist) a very slim/durable replacement. Help!!! The original headset lasted less then a year.

    Headset bearings seem to be Fucked. Handlebars seem to spring into the centre position. Took the bearings out cleaned them, they seemed to be ok, re-greased them and put it back together. All was good for 3 days then the issue was back. Brought it to a bike shop to get the bearings replaced...

    I'm liking the chain tips! Not using the WD40 will be like giving up smokes, its so damn effective at get the shit off it'll be hard not to use it but i can see where you're coming from. The more rain the shittier my chain gets alright too

    I hate cleaning my damn chain. Get a stiff small brush, spray WD40 on it, scrub it then wipe down with cloth. I got some of that chain protective lube stuff too as i found that after i cleaned it it would deteriorate much faster as i took the protective grease crap off it too

    I use the above two methods. Shoes are a little bulky but totally fine. Also in those hairy areas of the city centre where you know there could be a potential to get a smack/have to stop suddenly, you can unclip and just flip the pedal round. I do it all the time

    If you go 16kmph which is slow enough it'll take a half hour? Not sure if thats your pace or not. Any way i do 10km cycle to work through the city stopping at lights and shit and it takes me a half hour on a bad day so you would be around that?

    Not that it helps but i nearly lost it on a familiar bend myself this morning. I think it might be a mixture of the dew and grit they put on the roads last week. It hasnt rained since and its greasy as hell!
