Have you seen the rear loaders? Basically stick onto the roof/rear windscreen and you roll it up and over. That way you only have to lift one end up onto the roller with the other end on the ground then just push it up. There lot's of DIY versions around as well. Alternatively a rear roller from a v...

yup, no problem, I'll get Dan on it today

Hux, that sucks. Maybe use paper plates?

I bought one of those for my DUB and it nearly ruined it, flexible and kept slipping. In the end I bought one of these: https://www.merlincycles.com/icetoolz-12-tooth-external-bottom-bracket-tool-121875.html?utm_source=PHG&utm_medium=AffiliateMarketing&utm_campaign=phg-GB&ucpo=56172&source=PHG So mu...

Planet X have some in their (never-ending) sale C £25 alternatively Galibier.

Thanks to Romesh Ranganathan and his "Christmas special" I'm now partial to a bit of "Peat and Diesel" from Stornoway https://www.peatanddiesel.band/videos I recon that Peat and Diesel are bloody brilliant too. To be fair to Rom, that wasn't a bad programme either. I think he was quite insightful i...

Hey, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Did you get a waterproof, with a hood?......

I've got one. Picked it up at the start of the first lockdown second hand (not at the crazy second hand prices that are around at the moment). I really like it, I use it with zwift rather than the wattbike hub. The V1 has a slight lag when powering up or down on Watts (a couple of seconds) which onl...

I recall hearing of a guy who cycled around the world in crocs. Didn't need to carry other shoes, cool in summer, water runs out in winter, cheap and easily replaceable.

Dave, if I remember correctly your sex dungeon (sorry, basement..... ) opens out onto the road Cant you put a mount/bracket on the top of the doorframe (inside) and insert a pole into it, then hang the bike over it from the saddle? Easy and quick to remove and far enough away that you don't flood th...

I saw one earlier on facebook "outdoor kit exchange" in exeter. Guy called Olly Goodwin. Nice one thanks - I am on that group. I will take a look. Edit - found it - that was actually a teepee which won't work unfortunately. Not enough space from the sidewall to the central pole for two to sleep tog...

Dave, I fancy getting mine done again, you do yours first and let me know how it goes..

Problem with laser treatment is that it’s a one off correction of a (in most cases) dynamic change in visual acuity. It will stop working at some point and you will need glasses again. I'd pay that price for 10 years without them Dave, that's what swayed me albeit I paid £1200 in total. Optimax in ...

I'm so fed up with glasses that I've been looking into Lasik, but may be too old

Had mine done 13 years ago. Bought it on eBay... (true), brilliant except for the smell of burning flesh. Lasted 10 years now just as bad as before.
TBH though Dave, 10 years would see you out

Garmin etrex 30x £129.99 on Sport Pursuit this morning.

Stu, I think I had an entry? I'll reluctantly have to drop out, its my sons birthday the 31st so getting a weekend pass from him is most unlikely.

Put the money in 'feed the bear'

Great timing! My chain snapped on Monday (less than 300 miles old) just before the quick link. No way I could open the quick link by the roadside (Stu must have fingers of steel!). I have been looking for a tool to carry with me so that ones just been ordered

I think it was last year when we did the Tuscany Trail there was a guy using one. He was towing a Bob trailer with 3 (?) Spare batteries in it. Didn't help him too much when the Bob got a puncture though.. I don't think it was as you didn't ride it last year! :ugeek: Year before? Maybe.. thought I ...

Police dogs are usually fine tbf.

It's the police dog handlers you need to keep an eye out for - absolute wrong 'uns.

Hmmm......

Ah, operation Julie. Close family ties to that...

I read a great book on that a few years back. We’re you in it?

Bloody cheek, I'd have been 5..... no, my god father (who happens to be a bloody good cyclist as was his son who went pro for a while)
