Re: HT550 2023
There's a good spread all the way through the field. Over 200 miles for the leaders. Makes me realise this race is deceptively tough!!

Re: RIP my Dirty Harry - now what?
Got me a new bike - a Trek Procaliber 9.6. Picked it up today, fitted pedals and 50km later its really put a smile on my face!
Needs a new pedal though - the trusty pedals I fitted have now gone to pedal heaven - the axle locknut sheared off (known XTR pedal issue from many moons ago).

Some good options there, thanks. There's too many nice bikes on the market at the moment - I might need to get signed up to the C2W scheme....

RIP my Dirty Harry - now what?
Not Clint, but my 2013 Planet X Dirty Harry that I've cherished from a very early age..... After numerous BB200/300's, 4 x HT550's, 1 x Tour Divide and lots of smaller stuff (over 20,000km) the chainstay has decided it's had enough. I repaired the carbon a couple of years ago, then again just before...

Re: Memory maps on iphones
I use MM on my Samsung phone. I did import the maps somehow and transferred the licence, and then bought new maps a year ago in a sale (the originals were at least 10 years old and of questionable heritage). Seemed to work OK for a luddite like me, but I'd suggest following the instructions to the l...

Re: Cargo Bib Shorts
I got some for the Tour Divide last year - Endura ones. Very comfy and the pockets were used occasionally for food when I couldn't fit it anywhere else. Also credit cards that I couldn't afford to lose. I don't find the pockets useful for everyday riding though - I use jersey pockets for normal stuf...

Re: Route archive.
Was that the fence around a pheasant enclosure or something? Across a bridleway (hence the person on a bike shaped hole).

Re: Route archive.
Just thinking back to 2014, the only bits I remember that were really bad were the 2 sections of tussocky hike a bike before the Coed y brenin climb.
Were there more?

Re: Route archive.
Stu , is the Big Bear the original 520 route or the 530 v2 version? (I haven't looked)
Plus, are you thinking this could be expanded to have other routes (WC2C, TCW etc etc)

Re: One-up EDC Pump,tool kit and Pliers/tyre plug kit SOLD
Just got this from Steve yesterday - cheers pal
Just got to say that it looks a brilliant piece of kit. Pump, tools, tyre plugs, patches and co2 cartridge all in 1 package. And well made so it hopefully won't fall apart the first time it's used.

Re: I saw this and thought of you lot (FlipFuel)
I do this, but a word of warning. Weigh the can before, not the weight on the can which states it's full weight..... But never over fill this weight on the can, because it's easy to do and it makes lighting your burner like dodging a volcano with no control. :oops: How would someone know that? 😄

Re: WTD: Flat bar or small Riser
Got some Mt Zoom flat bars. Not sure if they are 680mm wide but they are light *circa 150g or less I think.
You can have then for £20 ish as I don't like selling carbon bars (or any bars). They're never crashed as far as I can remember.

I just use ITM or PlanetX stuff on my road bike, for the Tour Divide I used Ergon grips and standard bar tape on the aero bars.

Re: Do you remember your first time?
I think I got the sleeping outdoors bug in the cubs, then aged about 13 or 14 a few mates rode from Warwick to Malvern youth hostel and stayed overnight - I remember pouring over OS maps sorting a route out, and loading panniers with gear. A while later we did a 4 or 5 night youth hostel tour ending...
