Not so sure about the AM9's - velcro closure looks a bit naff However I've come across the EX5's which look similar to the old MT5's I had yonks ago which fitted well. Except they aren't available in this country! 😬 Did I miss the news release that mtbing in the UK is no more?? WTF are shimano playi...

Nice one!
More dotwatching - you'll have to let us know your initials

Non tubeless version (works with a ghetto set up) but still reasonable value.

It's a cheery Sunday for me. The rail project I've been involved in opened this week with smiles all round. Total mayhem right up until the last minute but standing in Leven High st. today watching lots of smiling people gushing enthusiasm over the new rail line made it all worthwhile. (I think!) Ju...

So so far only 13 scratches - lowest rate ever and joint second lowest number - 2016 was the lowest number but only 50 odd riders versus 63.

And the weather has been less than optimal - more scratched last year and it was wall to wall sunshine!

Well done all, nice to see some good trips this month, keep 'em coming!

Cheers Johnny - no trailcrosses in my size cheap but a couple of places doing them for £70 in my size.

Simon, I's also ID'd the bonty's. Speshes have always been too narrow for me plus trying to avoid boas as I hate them....

I guess I'm looking at it in terms of picking up a Dakota or Etrex touch cheap off ebay, and a Spot cheap off here!

A bit steep though....

Bouncing dot!
Well done Allan, stirling effort

Got the video to look forward to now

I'm after a pair of summer mtb shoes as the five ten Kestrels I got cheap last year are far too stiff.

Must be bendy, spd type, fairly light, a good chunky sole for walking, wide-ish, laces.

And cheap obviously
Any recommendations welcome

https://bikerumor.com/rule-28-new-gravel-suit-hydration-bladder-sleeve/ A Gravel Suit, anyone? .....No? Good :grin: :lol: I quite like it when a manu does a spectacular fail. I suppose a skin suit itself is fine if you are into that kind of thing (and don't need to go to the loo in a hurry which ru...

I was up my local hills earlier looking north west at a sun drenched Ben More and Ben Lui - I strongly suspect that Allan is making the most of the lovely weather

He's just approaching the bonus climb which is a PIA but you get a nice view back to where you've just been

Looking quite dry for a few days at least so bash on!

Allan on the home straight, should be done tomorrow

Good effort Pete - looks like you had an adventure

That's Lars Henning just finished - looks like he knocked a couple of hours off his '21 time.
Alan about to tackle the Tollie path
Hopefully sunny for everyone from here to the end!

Lee's record shouldn't really apply to this route so Kerry's will stand I'd say What makes this version harder? Is going to Poolewe much slower than the postman's path? Other than that is there much difference? We could say Neil's record shouldn't apply to this route... but it's been beaten 2 years...

Looks like Alex Berry has scratched - his dot is no longer on the map, the last ping was around Clunes, the ticker board shows him scratching around 2200 last night but the riders list isn't showing him at all. Tyre and spoke issues means he's out. A shame as he's got to get to Ft William anyway an...

Alex next, then Allan! Shaff, it took me 3 days 5 hrs from Suileg to Tyndrum in 2015 - that was on a 2hour longer route in horrible weather and with an early finish on the second night. My bet will be he'll stay in Sheneval bothy in Fisherfield tomorrow night, Dornie public loo Thursday night, Somew...

Whilst the WHW does have it's moments, the section alongside Loch Lomond is definitely type 2 and it is all busy with walkers. The Cairngorms tour is a lot nicer and sees very little other traffic away from the honey pots. So do the WHW for the challenge of 'doing' it. But plenty of better routes ou...

Bouncing dot 3 days 5 hrs 28m? Lead women also threatening the record What is the ladies record? Lee Craigie - 3D 20H 53M I think this edition is longer though? 560 miles vs 536 in 2018 miles, is that right? Hey Chris! Yup Lee Craigies record was on the 'easy' version (irony) which was just shy of ...

I suspect the boundless energy of youth plays a part- he's only 26!

I have the Juintech GTPs on one of my bikes, they work really well, not quite full hydro but nicer than BB7s and easier to set up. Only issue I'm wary of (but haven't experienced) is that with a small reservoir of hydraulic fluid they may be more prone to overheating that full hydros. Probably only...

Bouncing dot 3 days 5 hrs 28m?
Lead women also threatening the record

Has anyone tried both i.e those Juin tech brakes that have a cable actuated hydraulic caliper? My (drop bar) TRP's are getting a bit dicky and new ones cost a fortune so I was thinking of giving the Juin techs a whirl.
