Ooh, if I can sort the dog out, that would be doable. Some nice pedalling round there. And it has a toilet (or am I misremembering.....)

Re: Whats your trouser of choice?
I've been really impressed with RAB Crank pants. Expensive, but can't fault them. Not waterproof, but just did a long weekend in the Cairngorms with bib longs underneath. Very comfy on their own when warmer.

Re: Bivvy a month 2023.
Edit: Think of the hammock as a U-shaped piece of fabric wrapped around you. The underquilt is a further 'U' wrapped around the outside of the hammock. The top-quilt is then like an 'n' on top of you. Yep, got it now. Sticking the ground, for the foreseeable though. canal bridge, another "firs...

Re: Bivvy a month 2023.
I've only just realised why they are called under quilts I wondered how they gave any warmth when you lay on them
Can you not just attach them to the underside of the hammock? I've probably still misunderstood.

Re: Bargain Alert Thread
Nukeproof bottom brackets - GXP @ £10 and DUB @ £15. I've found them pretty good and the bearings are easy to replace. The DUB at £15 is cheaper than the replacement bearings mind you.

Re: What you done t' your bike today
Fitted, and test ridden. Most likely threaded one of the bolts, as they appear to be made of cheese. Also looks like I need to service the clutch again after the repeated dunking on the BB200. https://media.bobarnott.com/gravel/2023-11-09-fitted.jpeg Is there still a hosepipe ban in place down your...

I'm going to give this route a bash next year; there I've said it, can't not do it now. Can't see me getting round anywhere near that fast though! Might get one of those Restrap carry harness things for those two big HAB sections. I wouldn't bother with the strap on Boab - the carries aren't long e...

Re: Recommend me a GPS
Not the mounts you'd use with a Garmin bike gps - 500, 1000 etc. The erred mounts are larger and the device slides in, rather than twists.Can the walking ones be attached using the standard Garmin mounts?

Merlin have got some very good prices on a number of things at the moment, including new FF29 frames at £399, TRP Slate and Slate Evo brakes for £70-£90 (F&R set!), but this Deore 12 spd boost crankset looks very good value, 170 and 175mm options, 32 tooth £37: https://www.merlincycles.com/shim...

Nice trip report, Andy. Looks like a fantastic trip The exposure in the pic on day 4 would have me absolutely bricking myself riding my bike.

Re: Riding the Gr5 (ish), Montreux to Nice
Sorry James, just seen this. If you pm me an email address I can send gpx or if on komoot I can share Julians original plans.
Your trip looked great - forgotten how much I love the Alps. Very tempted to go back next year and ride the Tour of the Ecrins over a week.
