Mostly I ride a commuter bike short distances as an environmentally friendly, cheap and healthy mode of transport.
Occasionally I ride off road on a hard-tail mountain bike.

How to calculate width of 28“ tire to 26” with constant damping factor? Maybe I'm missing something in your question, but surely you just adjust the tire pressure to get the dampening factor you want? |

How to set up bike so that back-pedalling stops the rear wheel? My first bike was also a Raleigh Strika. Mine had standard brakes front and rear, so not quite so cool. |

My crank fell off, how do I re-attach it? I managed to locate the manual for my bike. It says a torque wrench is preferable, but a long-handled hex key will do. I don't own either (only a short hex key), so I doubt I'll be able to do the bolt up tightly enough. Guess I'm off to a bike shop with it. |
