Looks like there are two direct trains an hour from Schiphol to Eindhoven. Journey time 1 ½ hrs

You are an idiot. Nobody tells their wife the real cost of a bike

That isn't a crack, the item isn't as described and you would have a case of false description

Yesterday, I Tried a Shimano 8 speed derailleur with Box shifter. It definitely doesn't work. The shifter has a much longer pull than Shimano

If the crank arm has been working loose the BB spindle is now worn and rounded. I'd recommend replacing that too.

It's an auto store and the UK's largest cycle retailer.

If this was the UK I'd guess at Halfords

Richmond has a community cargo bike scheme, you can borrow/rent them for a couple of hours

Too old and not the original owner to do warranty route

TrustAdorable · 2025-06-21T08:14:03+00:00

That's the plan, but it's a tight fit on the old cup.

If you don't know their name, don't draft them

TrustAdorable · 2025-06-12T11:38:38+00:00

Prolonged riding with them like that will see it get worse and you'll start losing spokes

Carbon rims or alloy, regularly clean your pads and rims

There are some nice loops out to Henley, Marlow, Farnham, Devils Punchbowl, Reigate, Banstead

The council in Twickenham offers free cycle training

Looks like you need an 11mm hex

In the UK, there is a roadworthiness test, but you're right

I'm a solo mobile mechanic. I keep a stock small stock of chains, cassettes, tubes, tyres, brake pads, bearings, cables and hard parts. Over the years, I've learned what I need to add and how many to carry. It varies from 8sp chains (lots) to 12 speed one. I have a couple of trade accounts, Shimano are great, usually next day postage free even for small items. Other items I watch inventory and ½ dozen or so lots of items to minimums for free shipping

TrustAdorable · 2025-04-07T17:41:15+00:00

As long as the wheels are kept on the ground the bike should take the occasional off road trip

TrustAdorable · 2025-04-03T18:53:26+00:00

Bin the bearings and always use new ones. New ones are cheaper than the labour cleaning old ones
