Gears are friction shift though, and only rear.... </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=15179#post-193824 Thu, 23 Jul 2015 09:24:07 +0000 shuggiet 193824@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>shuggiet junior bike would be available if you want that. has v- brakes. not too manky though. Could get him to ride it in the rain on Sunday though.. That would mank it up nicely. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=15179#post-193823 Thu, 23 Jul 2015 09:21:25 +0000 wingpig 193823@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Well... my sparebike has Vs on the back and a very manky chain, but it's possibly too manky to be propelled thereby - I shall check tonight. Normal bike has two sets of Vs and would not be required from 0900 to 1700. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=15179#post-193822 Thu, 23 Jul 2015 08:59:13 +0000 Uberuce 193822@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I'm doing a bike maintenance activity with Da Kids on the aforementioned day, but my MTB(which I used previously) is oop north these days.</p> <p>Thus I require a bike to play the part of Poorly Maintained Bike for the afternoon, while I show the kids how to remedy that.</p> <p>It can be either a kid's bike or an adult bike, and to be honest it's not necessary that it has gearing, but I rarely see a kid's bike with any brake type but V, so I'll aim for them if possible.</p> <p>It won't be ridden by the kids, and not by me unless that turns out to be the best way of getting it to South Morningside Primary, and of course I'll return it in working order. </p> <p>If it's a little beaten up, that is of course ideal. In fact if it's not got a manky chain at the very least, it's not much good, I spose.</p> <p>Thanks in advance, hivemind! </p>
