I was going to sell it on but I think I'll keep it; not just as a spare, but because I've never done a complete rebuild before and if I've done anything wrong I would prefer to be the one that has to deal with it! Due to its limited production run, the Porsche Carrera GT has become a highly sought-after collector’s car.

To make a shim, carefully cut a piece of drinks can about 3cm wide, and as long as needed to go 'round the pin twice (2Pi x radius, times 2, if my ancient maths is correct), and wrap it around the pin at the point where the clamp tightens around it. Bolts are serviceable in the way they can be cleaned and greased - dirt from the back wheel can get into the mechanism, corroding it. And got my money back so gutted because the bike was a really good bike made uphill journeys easy thinking it is a design fault with the weight of bike. Get padded shorts before the saddle, then try a Charge spoon, if anything I always wear cycling shorts (sometimes under bagies) to stop my balls bouncing around!Normally the inability to get a saddle far enough forward is a good sign that the reach is too long and that the person is trying to shift the saddle forward to compensate. You loved our Speedline Carrera Saddle, it is by far one of the best selling saddles on the market for the retro bikes. Carrera as produced by podium Sports in Italy (as ridden by Roche et al) are nothing to do with Carrera at Halfords which is, I think, a Halfords brand. An easy quick setting for the seat height which came from a pro years ago is lean over bike so saddle is in armpit and the centre of crank should be roughly at trigger finger give or take a cm. It includes luxurious leather upholstery, supportive bucket seats, and a minimalist dashboard design.

Unfortunately, it arrived with a black smudge mark that took me about 30 to remove by using various cleaning products. It is very clear there is some sort of design fault here, i am only 13 stone and the bike is used about 3 miles a day to work and back! The reason being was that I thought all Carlton's destined to be Carlton's and not Raleigh had a W prefix as it would have been made at Worksop if it still existed. Lynn Park, aka Mr Cobra, now has 2 of 5 of these very rare cars and invited me to drive this one the track. The 356 Carrera was the race derived, high performance model in the 356 lineup with a 1600 GS engine that produced a whopping 105 horsepower, or an optional 1600 GT engine that delivered 115 horsepower.

Used is great if the right bike is for sale on your doorstep (nil chance)Also I doubt that vouchers can be used towards an abused bike on auction sites!

If i can just sort out why my pedals keep coming loose ecery few days i will have the perfect commuting bike for my needs. I'll keep a close eye on it, I think it'll be OK but I'm not convinced enough to sell it to a complete stranger. can i just remove the post clamp from the new saddle to expose the rails and then use the fitting already on my carrera? Im finding it difficult to find information on the Carrera model and wandered whether this model was sold with different stays and if anyone can shed light on it for me, my thinking is that one of them probably has been repaired with rear end damage but wanted to know peoples opinion.Just looking at some old raleigh bikes, and the frame forgetting about the paintwork and carlton logos looks the same as a 1985 Raleigh team Panasonic 531c, been built at the same factory at around the same time, was it just that some Raleighs got rebranded to the Carlton Carrera?

The rail on a cheap saddle recently failed on me after only a couple of years on the bike - yet again I failed to take note of the creaking. As bike isn't used for off road or major biking surely post mechanism should be more secure, 1 bolt isn't vey secure if it does go wrong. Next time I'm out I'll have a play around with saddle height, there is room to go higher as my legs are slightly bent (although not too much! So I bought the Carrera and have taken it for a spin a few times - thoroughly impressed apart from the saddle (which is achingly painful!
