Peter Knight

My name is Peter Knight and for the last several years I have used the internet as a means of recording my thoughts, ideas, travels, and anything else besides in one neet little place. Most of it used to be random scribblings, but these days I actually include some information in amoungst the ramblings too. I write it for myself, but if you enjoy reading it for whatever reason then that is a bonus. Sometimes this can be helpful, so I will dispense all of this information ... now.

Customise!

With every passing months my steeds become increasingly more personal. This month my project was to add a 'new' front brake to the Carrera. This took the form of a Shimano Saint caliper/lever that I no longer required from the little bike and a new 180mm shimano rotor/adaptor mount. My bikes are becoming increasingly 'patchwork' in their componentry, but more and more personal to me. I now have two different brake levers and two different shifter pods on the Carrera and I love it, because it is unique! I have also modified the front Deore M525 hub to a 9.5mm bolt-up hub using 15mm track nuts for an ultra-rigid front end and theft-proofing.

Its mine, and I like it.
