CityCyclingEdinburgh was launched on the 27th of October 2009 as "an experiment".
IT’S TRUE!
CCE is 15years old!
Well done to ALL posters
It soon became useful and entertaining. There are regular posters, people who add useful info occasionally and plenty more who drop by to watch. That's fine. If you want to add news/comments it's easy to register and become a member.
RULES No personal insults. No swearing.
"Looking after stuff so it lasts its full potential lifetime is the way to go in a world of diminishing resources. It follows that knowing how to look after the bike goes hand in hand with being an enlightened eco-aware cyclist. One of the really cool things about bicycles is that they remain an antidote to disposable 'black box' culture."

"Am I special because I don't need tyre levers?"
No, you just have thin fingers...
Am I special because I don't need tyre levers?
No, you've just never owned a bike with early 90s ISO369 Moulton rims. :-)
Can't get it to work, just as well I can already repair a puncture.
For the record I am using Firefox under Ubuntu Linux.
I didnt know you could write so much about fixing punctures. Pretty epic.
I think I learnt by my dad giving me a puncture repair kit and some spoons and telling me to "figure it out"
/Glaswegian parents.
I remember having great trouble with my Marathon Pluses, but not because they were too tight, just that when I pushed the second bead on the rigidity of the tread pushed the first bead back off!
I guess variation in rim size is the defining factor. I don't even need levers to get the downhill tyre off and on my MTB.
