We like riding different wheels here at Bike Cycling Reviews and the lighter the better, so when we got the chance of a ride on a pair of the top clincher wheels from Shimano we jumped at it. They are light, rigid, look great and the ride they give is quite spectacular. Read on to see what we have found
Jack Doonan has been using Shimano SPD clipless pedals for some time and now wants to change to something newer and more modern. Jack hasn't told us whether he rides on the road or mountain bike, but we can cover both options
Ben has an interesting question about his gearing, he has recently changed his cassette for one with a close ratio to go with his triple chainset, he thinks he could go with an even a closer ratio cassette. We discuss the pros and cons of triple and compact chainsets and different cassette ratios.
Steve Harris has a SRAM Red chainset, but thinks the original bottom bracket is too expensive and wants our thoughts on the Truvativ alternative and if there is anything else he could buy that will fit his chainset and his wallet!
Mark Cho is looking to get his first bike, but can't make up his mind which bike to buy, which is quite a regular problem! He is considering either a Trek 2.3 or the Fuji Roubaix, both good bikes so it will be difficult for us to choose between them, but here goes
Bill Sukhbir is changing is handle bars for some nice carbon ones, he wants our advice on how to change the levers. He is worried of messing it up, it's a fairly simple job, you just have to be careful not to over tighten the bolts and you also have to know where to find the bolts. Here is our advice
Craig want our opinion on the Isoard road bike from Wilier of Trestina in Italy, it's a top class full carbon frame. Wilier had stopped making the Isoard a few years ago, but has reintroduced the name on a new carbon offering for 2008 and we are happy to run our eye over such a nice bike
Chris is doing a very worth while bike ride, a 250 mile sponsored ride. He wants to know if he can undertake this mammoth ride on a mountain bike? We have some reservations wither he should and some suggestions to help him if he has to ride such a long distance on an off road bike
Debbie has a Giant bike, but she keeps having punctures. She has been to two bike shops and bought heavier tires and flat protection strips. She wants our feed back to sort it out and here are our suggestions, but it's a tricky one to solve from a distance
Marcello lives in Italy and has not got as much time to train, he can only train during the week on work days and he wants to know the best use he can make of his limited time. We suggest he tries some interval training to maximize his training opportunities. Here is what he should do
Ronald wants to buy an Orbea Aqua but wants enough seat pin showing to make the bike look stylish. We run through the measurements of the frame and Ronald's in side leg and shows why he should have a good amount of seat pin on show. We also discuss the different Aqua models and equipment.
