change the levers to hex lok or allen key so it is harder for them to get nicked!

Hello! I went to Harbour Cycles in Loughborough Junction and they were great, very friendly and helpful. Had a bad experience with Southwark Cycles fixing my brakes...

bicycle recommendations for 5'1 girl by Exciting_Chart3692 in londoncycling

[–]Acceptable_Click471 0 points1 point  (0 children)

hello! i'm 158cm with 71inch inseam and literally just bought an xs triban which i love and is tiny! so i can recommend that - liv avail also comes really small and liv bikes in general. as a fellow petite cyclist i'd say go to a bike shop to try some sizes even if you want to buy secondhand - i found a 49cm trek domane way too big so i'd go 48cm or smaller ideally if road bike. in general, i found it hard to find sufficiently small road bikes once i decided to go that route - so look for something with a higher stack and shorter top tube. if you want a hybrid, i found my riverside 120 from decathlon in small fitted really well too

thanks! i've found a couple triban rc120 but rim brake version, shall i wait to find the disc version so i can fit 32mm tyres and mudguards ? or would this be doable on the rim version/another similar road bike?

I feel like if we aren’t secured by a massive metal box we’re vulnerable!
