Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

Nipples and knobs? The joys of trisexualism :-)

Cheers guys, my local guy is very good and very reasonable.

Be afraid be very afraid.

I broke 3 spokes on a 1000 pound wheel and the rim collapsed. (Racing incident)

Initially I cried as I knew the wheel was beyond doubt repair. The nice people at Zipp did warranty :-)

IN France I broke 3 spokes and it cost me 20 euros to repair.

Treat yourself to a new wheel then Nicholls? ;-)

I asked OH about this (he loves his bikes *almost* more than me :-)) and he said LBS too.
