Maybe an odd postage question.

I’m looking to but some outdoor clothing and found a good deal which I think won’t last long. Some stores have a click and collect type of system. You can either have delivered to home or maybe to a local food shop or store. The online shop I was looking to buy from does not have a collect at a shop...

Re: Can we have a new jersey yet?

If you did Merino or bamboo I would be interested. Or I could get a gilet. I would rather not have anything that was suggestive of an innuendo like ‘boner’. I’d feel a bit uncomfortable in public, at cafes, around children and families etc. Maybe this is just me being sensitive. Like the ‘Eat, Sleep...

Re: WTD: Alpkit Stem Cell in Steel

Errrr, well I do kind of have one in the colour you are after. It’s all good apart from one thing. To be able to fit my titanium pot inside, I cut the padded liner out of it. So it’s still very much functional and even better it’s a little bit more light weight. However, it still looks the same on t...

Re: Wanted - 2 or 3 Person tent

I have a light grey nature hike Ultralight cloud up 3 person tent - with snow skirts. They sell for £129 I’ve used it a few times with my daughter, and I was surprised, it’s actually not a bad tent, quite roomy. I took the time to seam seal the tent myself as it’s made from sil-nylon. https://www.al...

Re: Can we have a new jersey yet?

For bikepacking and long day rides I wear merino, if I don’t I can’t go too close to others due to the stink. So might not buy a jersey. As an option for those of us that stink, is it possible to have a bear bones patch that can be sewed onto my bikepacking bags or maybe somewhere on my merino shirt...

Re: Crowdsourcing where to find water - Tap & Trough

Doesn’t every establishment that has an alcohol licence have a legal obligation to provide free tap water to a person who asks. Or is this just to pubs.

Was there not a case where a pub refused to give a cyclist water and was in fact in breach of their licence?

Re: Lezyne Mega XL GPS - A Modern GPS For Bikepackers?

For bikepacking I just use my iPhone 7 with a quadlock mount. Keep it charged with a sinewave cycles USB converter and son dynamo. As most cyclists that use a dedicated GPS devise will also carry their phone, would it not be lighter and convienent to just carry a phone with a clear colour screen wit...

I’m planning a Shropshire ride in a couple of days and looking for good routes.

Do you happen to have a GPX of your route to help me design my route?

Re: Seems to be some new Exposure Dynamo lights on way

I have a exposure revo and was looking at the sinewave beacon. Beacon has an inbuilt USB and can also be powered by an external battery if needed. So for me to consider a new revo I would like it to have an on/off switch, and integrated USB to charge a phone or battery, and can be used when the ligh...

Depending on it's age or mileage, drag in the cable would be my first thought, changing down from the biggest sprocket is like trying to push a rope, SRAM are quite prone to misbehaving when the cables get dirty or sticky.

Not in the same league, but I have just built a Camino Al frameset up.
