Re: Atlas race underway.
Out of curiosity, how do 'scrathers' get back to base? Control car, or just tour a direct route? Bike unceremoniously lobbed on a Dacia Taxi roof rack seemed to be the way in the 2020 version. Motivation to keep trucking then Almost, but then your bike gets unceremoniously dumped in an HGV at the f...

Garmin Edge Explore renewed £99.98 (!) I bought a renewed one and couldn't tell it from a retail one, it came with all the mounts, papers, etc. The only difference was the box was a plain Garmin one.

Re: Kiddy Back tandem vs weehoo trailer thoughts
Thanks for all of your replies. I think in conclusion the tandem will be better for commuting and road stuff (which will probably suit us more often) but the weehoo better off road. Is it wrong to want both? and also, don't forget a spare tube for the weehoo! Not sure I'd find a trailer latched ont...

Re: Kiddy Back tandem vs weehoo trailer thoughts
I had a big dummy which was great, front wheel in the panniers and towed the bike on a QR mount on the rear deck and child in the Yep seat. Tried using a trail gator but it was just heavy junk and proper faff to use without scratching everything imho. I'd use it only if both bikes to be joined were ...

Re: How much grief can I expect?
In the (almost) 30 years I've been driving I've had 14 "daily drivers" and two T5s make up almost 10 of those years so they can't be all that bad! :wink: My first T5 was a 54 plate that I had between 2014-2019 and only sold it because a mate was selling his ten year newer T5.1 which I stil...

Re: Orange MTB Bikes going into administration
IIRC the bike firm was bought out by the company that made the UK sheet metal bikes. Hopefully it's just the bike side and not the whole firm that's in trouble.fatbikephil wrote: ↑Sun Jan 07, 2024 8:58 pm It would be nice to think someone steps in to take them on but there is a pattern emerging here....

Re: Would this work?
I'd stick your mat in it. At a guess, under won't stop an uninsulated mat losing heat, on won't double the insulation effect but mat in will help a bit and also keep your mat clean.

Re: sorry to ask again but Wahoo or Garmin ?
Are you sure you can't transfer from a chromebook to your Garmin? You might not be able to use the garmin software but you can drag a gpx from a chromebook folder to a garmin. I've only had chromebooks since 2015 and create routes in ridewithgps or komoot and have transferred them to my garmin 810 a...

Re: What was the problem with 29+
I wonder why 29+ has faded out... Much like Fat Bikes I guess most people that want one have bought one so if no one is buying them... Having said that the Pirelli Scorpion 29x2.6 on my Levo look as beefy as the Knards on my old Krampus. They have the added bonus of gripping in the wet! So have the...

The decathlon ones are good for the money, the Crikey, how much ones are great if you can catch a sale (like now).
