My wife bought a bike from Facebook market place yesterday, its not in wonderful condition and I have been asked to help out make it fit for use. I don't know much about bikes and everything I have learnt has been in the last 24hrs - so apologies if any of my terminology is off! This is the bike: https://www.thebikelist.co.uk/apollo/xc-26s-17-ladies-2009 It is ok to ride but it is impossible t...

Hi, I just replaced my chain and when I went to ride there was a near-constant light ticking sound coming from the cassette/freewheel. Does this mean I should replace the cassette/freewheel?...

Ran into a problem with my caliper brakes. The right plate (with the three holes) for the spring keeps shifting downwards due to the springs tension. Tried tightening the bolt to see if the plate would stay in place but it wont budge, it won't loosen either and I'm a bit hesitant at trying again because I might damage the bolt. I can tap the plate back into place with a hammer but once the brakes ...

Recently bought a slightly used 26" meridian trike. While replacing wider tires on the rear, I noticed an issue with the rear drive side wheel hub. The wheel is held on with a nut and single washer. The hub is not held firmly in a location on the axle and is able to slide back and forth on the axle a good half inch even though the nut is tightened all the way down to its bottom threads on the axle...

G'Day everyone! I was just wondering this afternoon. Have you ever experienced damage on a steel frame and what has caused it?...

Hello, what is your best guess on changing the tires on my 1996 Cannondale T700 from current 700 x 32 gravel king to something fatter. Something I could use for riding in the snow. How fat could I go? Thank you for your help....

Hi all, Firstly I'm kind of new to cycling so bare with me. I really wanted to get into cycling during lockdown and ordered a bike online and had to build it myself. I wanted a road bike and I didn't really want to build it but due to so many people getting into cycling this was my only option. The problem is that my front derailleur cage is catching on the gears and it means I can't peddle. I...

I never knew about this. https://www.facebook.com/CarbonaroEffect/videos/648630829006592/...

I just picked a Trek 1500 SLR with low miles. It’s in great shape but when I shift from 3 to 2 on the front gears the derailleur rubs pretty consistently. If I shift front 3 to 1 then up to 2 there is no rubbing on either gear. I’m guessing it’s a cable tension thing but I really don’t know. I don’t think it’s a limit screw problem since the chain stays on anytime I shift. Thanks....

Hi all! I want to replace the stock handlebars on my 2020 Trek fx4 with the Surly Moloko bars for more comfort/ hand positions. This is my first bike with shifters and hydraulic brakes on the handlebars so I was wondering how easy it is to replace the bars? Is it as simple as loosening shifters and brakes and sliding off then back on? A guy at the LBS mentioned I'd need a torque wrench in order to...

Hi, I need some help. I am installing a hope pf41 bb (with inner tube) on my 2019 Jeffsy (89.5mm, 24 mm, e13 trs crank with 3mm spacer on drive) The manual tells me that I have to install a 2.5 mm spacer on the drive side. The original BB did not have spacers. So the chainline will change with the spacer right? What to do? Thanks...

Hi, I need to replace the chain and cassette on my 21 speed ATB. I have always replaced my chains with Sachs Sedis rather than Shimano Hyperglide, as the Sedis is far smoother, changes flawlessly, lasts ages etc. Time has move on since I last bought one 6 years ago and they seem to no longer exist! Can anyone recommend a replacement please? I have seen Sram chains online but they look like Hypergl...

Hello guys, I want to spend my weekends learning how to's and DIYs of bike repairing. I just have this dream of starting a bike shop in the future (may after this pandemic) Do you guys have tools suggestions to buy? Please let me know. I just bought RD aligner last week bec my brother's rd tilted. Thank youuu....

I'm fairly new to bike repair aside from regular maintenance. Lately I've noticed by rear wheel has not been spinning properly--it's a Shimano 105 hub and axle. When I spin it freely on the bike, or when I spin it when the wheel is off, if feels clunky, like the axle is spinning into 'grooves' or 'notches'. I have two videos to show: On bike: https://imgur.com/a/SQX0I3P Off bike: https://imgur.c...
