My Hope BB had 25,000km on it when I sold it. I only paid 50 quid for it as well.

I can't help relating my genuine (afaik) and very ironic tale about COP26. The organisers bought/leased a fleet of electric vehicles to ferry the delegates to and from the venues during the event however unfortunately Glasgow still doesn't have enough of the correct charging facilities in the relev...

Quite spendy!

Shop around, think mine came from Germany.

Does this work?

Nope, copied across from the BP.com page but isn't working... it's still there!

Ironically I'm in Machynlleth now without my spare dakota mount and won't be back home until it's too late to lend one.

If you're quick you can get one next day on Amazon prime.

Any must haves, i.e. compatibility with existing parts, forks, etc. ?

I've had bikes with BB7s and Spyres. Both have been perfectly fine, if I had to pick one over the other I'd pick the Spyres.

At the risk of stating the obvious have you cleaned the discs/pads and checked the set up? I've never heard a squeak out of mine.

Absolutely 100% a scam.

Went live 2 days ago and registration expires in a year. Hoping to scam you and vanish into the ether.

MTB batteries offerings are a good compromise between cost/performance, properly QC'd light units and chargers paired with UK made batteries.

Hanlon's razor is quite likely appropriate here.

Maybe James, I honestly don't know. Interested to see how the numbers add up.

I wish them luck and the over-riding cynic within reckons they'll need it. I firmly believe that giving greater access to cyclists at present would be viewed as a 'vote loser' by many in power. Ah, but then it will also give the Horsey types full access. No doubt an existential crisis in the making...

Thanks. Yes, I'm on it. Hux sent me a pic of his too so will see what I can make with yours and his plans combined.

Watch this space (need to let the wood dry out now!

The idea is you put all your luggage in cloud storage?

Yep, these are good and pack down well. The Madison ones with zip off legs are worth a look if you want to have waterproof shorts as well or a tougher pair.

If you follow the link johhnystorm posted (though heavenforbid he wasn't doing what the OP wanted :roll: :wink: :lol:) it seems to be covered by the section on "Small Non-flammable Gas Cylinders": Au contraire, my personal experience was to ask the airline, pointless asking other's experi...

One of these with a dry bag on top and the option for their gravel panniers/normal panniers if more space needed. Presume small frame also precludes a decent sized frame bag.

I have a helinox one and it is very nice. I also have an amazon one that cost £23 and it's also pretty good.

If you bought the helinox one for £100 it's worth it but if you bought the knock off one for £40 you might as well get a knock off one for £23!
