My bike was stolen at the weekend. Sheila's Wheels sorted the insurance claim within 3 hours and the cheque is in the post. Kudos to them. Any suggestions for a replacement. The Ultra AF 900 suited me so the VanRysel equivalent seems an obvious choice. www.decathlon.co.uk/rr-900-af-road-bike-black-105-id_8529249.htmlThe back brake has been moved to the more usual seatstay position. Should I be looking for disc brakes? Is there something else around the same price point I should consider? Thanks in advance for any advice.

Sorry to here your bad news, cannot replace 'old' bikes, models change and run out, only newer ones to choose from.

That's crap. Good luck with the search for a replacement. And hopefully it's a Decathlon one!

Should I be looking for disc brakes? Do you ride a lot in the wet? If so discs, if not then rim Do you want to run wider tyres? If so discs, if not then rim Do you do LONG descents? If so discs, if not then rim

If so discs, if not then rim Cheers, Derek. The answer to 1 & 3 is "No". I use my T5 in the rain and I'm not a huge fan of big hills. Re. 2, not really. So maybe discs aren't so important.
