thanks for the route and tyre info. Am going to get some Maxxis Ikons if delivery times allow.

What tyres are people using? Not gone tubeless yet myself and am still deliberating what tyre is best.

Thanks all

Gear cables etc have been replaced (and greased), couple of times with no improvement,

will give it a total service and check radius see if that helps

Thanks for all the comments guys, a lot to digest

On my MTB I have Shimano Acera shifters which you have to move your thumb through about 100degrees and put in a lot of effort to change gear and they slip. Could be wear and tear but they are not very old.

Was after some recommendations for Shifters that don't destroy your thumbs?

thanks in advance

Phone and Garmin, if I need them to Nav they won't last more than a day or two tops, so for a week with potentially no power (maybe odd place with power but it takes a while to charge things up)

General question really

HI All Need some advice re charging up all USB devices. What do people recommend for off road and mostly off grid riding (week or maybe longer touring) Hub Dynamo seems best but what make and will it charge sufficiently on slow off road? Or do I get a Huge powerpack and take a hit on the weight? you...
