Joined: 07 Apr 2009 Posts: 116 Bike: My Profile | I thought it may be a good idea to see which bike set-ups members have... I have an '08 Specialized Rockhopper Disc - I added CB Eggbeaters (SL's) and a few scratches due to taking a crash course in how to fly a bike! :-) Other than that it's standard at the moment... I'm really impessed with the bike tho - very light compared to bikes I'm used to, I've never had hydraulic disc brakes before either - take a bit of getting used to... over the bars a few times at first. |

Joined: 28 Apr 2013 Posts: 1 Bike: | Got myself a Bianchi Methanol XC-R a few months ago.. added XTR trail pedals to it and i'm loving it all. Ex demo bike so got it for a good price from the local bike shop. From a road/track background from some years ago, but MTB'ing is great fun and it's great to be back on a bike. Hydraulic brakes are fantastic as is the rest of the XTR kit; just waiting for my LBS to supply dates for a maintenance workshop day as the bike needs better upkeep than maybe it's getting right now!!!!! |

Joined: 30 Apr 2013 Posts: 2 Bike: | Just bought a Specialized Tricross Sport. Previously marketed as a Cyclocross by Specialized they now say that it's a Freeroad bike whatever that means... From what I've seen so far it's largely a road bike with the ability for light off-roading (pavements, tow paths) which is just what I need for my commute to work. I can then take it for a spin in the country lanes of Middlesex at the weekend and it is a huge improvement on my previous bike, a Claude Butler Explorer 200 Hybrid. |

Joined: 15 Sep 2013 Posts: 1 Bike: | Hi Im 14 15 this week. I have a Dawes galaxy from the 1980s the frame is in great condition needs some paint work and redecaling buts its good. I'm replacing the back wheels as its old and about to buckle all the tires! have been replaced with swabe marathon plus tires. The front crank set has been replaced from its original 2 speed to a shimano 2 speed the back set which is 6 speed is to be replaced when I get a new wheel. The brake pads are new and soon I will have new bar tape this bike wasn't looked after very well by its previous owner I bought it for £159 and has cost £230 to fix I hope when I finish remaking it that I will be able to sell it and get my money back and maybe the £599 or close enough to buy this years galaxy but for now its a good bike did a Cornwall loop of 150 miles it was good next year I will do llangadog in wales to Bournemouth, 190 miles also I have a pannier rack which is original and a set of aldi OWN BRAND panniers they were £15 and r OK they are Velcro they have 10 straps to hold them on so I just have to make sure weight is equal all round good bike |

Joined: 29 Nov 2016 Posts: 1 Bike: | Okay. I'm 60 years old, new to cycling and this site. In October I bought a used Inspired Cycle Engineering (ICE)Sprint, it's a recumbent tadpole trike. The two front brakes are Avid BB7 discs, with a Avid V brake on the rear as a parking brake. 20 inch wheels currently with Schwalbe Citizen tyres. Rear suspension. It comes as standard fit with SRAM X5 9 speed grip shifts, which I may change to bar ends shortly. and a ICE custom Capreo 9-32 speed cassette. The gear range is 15.7"-103.5" (1.255m -8.28m), whatever that means. Just clocked up my first 500 miles since buying it on the 18th Oct. Yay ! John |

Joined: 13 Feb 2018 Posts: 1 Bike: | I got a very minimal and cheap set-up but i still get a good speed of around 30-35 mph on the flats down grimsby road with no wind. I have an apollo radar, 14 kg in weight, 18 speed shimano TZ gears (3 on the front and 6 on the back). It has a front disk brake and a back V-brake. I run on 26x2.10 tyres. Even though it's a pretty cheap bike at £150. It still has got me to Barton 5 times in just under 1 hour. I prefer to long distance cycling and the furthest i have done is 82 mile ride through scunthorpe. |
