Sunday morning we went out for our weekly coffee and cake run, usually to a local beach. On this sunny day we (2 of us) headed to Exmouth. Now I'm not naive enough to think it was going to be like a deserted island BUT it was absolutely rammed. Loads of people clearly on "holiday" from London and 'u...

Pressures- been using this recently.

Only major changes across my bikes were my road pressures, now running 73/75 down from late 80's. Roll just as fast and way more comfortable (albeit all the wheels are now running slightly lower pressures).

Thanks all :-bd I've spent the afternoon tinkering and actually found an accessory mount in one of the spares boxes. It sits the harness far enough away from the bars to let me attach the harness clearing the cables. "Dirty Teeth" - hadn't considered that, worth a try just for weight saving alone! S...

Why not add the Acepac harness to the mix :-bd allen (escape goat) should be able to measure up and Stu should have stock for april I've currently got the Alpmayo which appears to be very similar to the Acepac. I need to move it further away from the bars although I'm now wondering if I can use the...

Due to a new bike/bar set up I'm struggling to get my current bar harness to fit properly. Options have thrown up the Salsa Cradle and Spesh Burra Burra as having quite a decent stand off.
I'm trying to find the spacing between the two bar fixings if anyone can oblige?

I haven't yet Andy. I'm out on the full sus on Friday so I'll chuck them on that and report back with photos and a detailed analysis.

Cheers

Haven't put them on bars yet, but the 55s are HUGE. https://i.ibb.co/yp0KbdX/20210218-133413.jpg 45s look the business though. Really good surface texture too. Miles better than ESI. https://i.ibb.co/0nmrfgG/20210218-133431.jpg Andy, have you fitted these yet? My ESI's are shot and need replacing. ...

Just picked up a Mobi V17 to get most of the muck of the bikes before they go in the van. Its missing the battery as the previous owner threw it out when it went flat and he just used it as a 12v system. Anybody know what the battery spec's are? I've searched online but have can't locate it. cheers.

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
