Hi,

My mountain bike is 4 years old it has been lying outside the past 2 winters and got rusty. Was looking for a price for new chain and breaks etc bit rusty. It wasnt an expensive bike £150 and is it worth fixing once the frame has got a bit rusty.

Cheers

Cath

Hi Joe,

I have a road bike with Shimano Tiagra gearing thoughout. The bikes about a year old.
In the last couple of weeks it has developed a crunching/grinding sound from the bottom bracket when pedalling. It’s generally when in a higher gear and motoring, when I stand the
sound is less pronounced.
Any idea what I can do to eliminate it?

Thanks a lot,

Tony

Would love to try it, Joe. However, you are a good few miles away and I’m too busy riding my 1974 Scot (high tech compared to yours). It replaced the one that a certain George McGregor supplied (very late Scot) to me and was half-inched in America.

no hamish, would much rather have the old scot than some new swanky carbon superlight 47 speed bike anytime !!!
pop down to the shop and you can take it for a wee spin sometime !!
it might just change your mind….

Hey joe,

I am a dirtjumper, (please dont hate me and I have changed to single speed, very good choice, however I ride a kona shred which has vertical drop-outs and I am currently running an ugly chain tensioner, I have been told off various people that I can just take links out of my chain and then hook the chain onto the first spike of my front ring then “crank it up like never before”, would you advise doing this ?
