Just when I was wondering about converting the old urban machine to a singlespeed for a bit to ward off the dreaded gear gremlins, what should arrive but Ridgeback’s singlespeed Winter trainer, the Solo World. It comes with a 48/18 freewheel setup – the rear hub is a flip flop so you could bung a fixed sprocket on the other side – and is specced up for the grottier months with full ‘guards, though the 25mm Conti Ultra Race rubber looks a touch slight for the intended use, we’ll see. The frame is Reynolds 520, the fork carbon, and the retail price is £587.
Just in: Ridgeback Solo World

Encouraging to know that not all of the Absolute Tossers Against Cyclists have remained within the UK, but this one has even arranged somebody else to do his 'I'm a cyclist myself' tripe.
I heard she thought fixies were very lower class. She was once overheard saying "let them ride Campag"
Most people know peadar is a bit of a clown and would say anything to grab votes.
@mitsky he will be interested to know there's quite a good rail service in to Swansea. It's only six months which is pretty light imo.
'This experience has been a significant wake-up call for me and I can assure the court that I have reflected seriously on my actions and taken steps to ensure this will never happen again' Perhaps the six points you already had on your licence should have been the wake up call. Also, if I'm a judge, I'm thinking not bothering to show up in court doesn't scream remorseful. You are NOT a victim here Mr Cabango.
I really enjoyed Bastie Tronchon's victory.
@the little onion It is quite galling to read that Cabango is the Swansea Captain. He is hardly setting a good example to his team mates and fans etc.
@leedorney Great, me neither, but reviews are written for people other than you and I. These are "Tubeless Ready" tyres. They are marketed to work as Tubeless, so it wouldn't be good if the reviewer didn't test them as tubeless for those buying them for tubeless use.
@wtjs Entirely possible that it was a lie. Given the ban is in place, if he doesn't move his family could he be charged with lying in court?
@tomlew With that logic we should ban all laptops and mobile phones from trains.
