Saw the thread title, and hoped for this:



Bit disappointed TBH.

1 - be prepared (Fitness, route knowledge, bike prep)

2 - make good decisions along the way (food, liquid, pushing on etc)

3 - enjoy the challenge

Quad lock mount that fits both GPS and phone
So secure

Have they finished work on the Red Hut yet? No where near finished I’m afraid. I passed that way in September Work was only just getting started when Covid stopped play. Materials delivered and footings for the toilet block atthe back have been dug (late 2019) then they had to wait for spring to do...

I need to read things more slowly

Thought that said FLUX capacitor

If the VAT thing isn’t sorted, those living outside the UK could be in very high demand soon!

I’ve already found a few website that won’t ship to UK, but will wait with hope for the next couple of months.

I’ve got one of these on my seat stay and it’s rock solid I have put an extra elastic band round to be sure Nice and bright too :-bd Lasts for ages and detaches very easily for recharging https://www.wiggle.co.uk/knog-plus-rear-light?lang=en&curr=GBP&dest=1&sku=100567370&kpid=100567370&utm_source=go...

My Parents (and I got married) in Nairn, just along the coast It’s known for its softer And very mild climate, with a nickname of ‘The Brighton of the North’ For good reason From Nairn your only 20mins into Inverness, Aviemore is under an hour. And Ullapool hour and a half. So very easy to get to he...

I recon the UK market will be too large for companies to continue not to supply. something will need to be sorted re the tax issue but I’m not expecting much change until it does. That could take some time

Wait, what? There's a TITANIUM JOYSTICK?????

Now your talking

Topeak Hexus II user here
It’s been good over the years - despite trying to get lighter tools they always come with less functions
Hence i come back to this

Is that the same one that fits the Diablo?
If it is then yes I have one I don’t use

I’ve got an old Karrimor running one that’s perfect
Works very nicely for a cheapie

Can’t remember where I got it - maybe sports direct

Don’t know why but as i got older into my 40’s, that pain amplified hugely, especially in feet and legs
I never used to suffer that much, regularly swimming in rivers and surfing in cold sea (albeit with wetsuit) but in the last few years it’s really putting me off

I’ve just not been visiting as much
Being furloughed means I’m busier than when I’m working

Mrs B’s to do list is huge

I’ve tried the SRAM, but after riding with Shimano for years just couldn’t get used to it, different shifters just felt odd.
Nothing wrong with it in terms of performance, I just didn’t like the feel of it

New bike spec’d with Shimano 12 and I’m liking it a lot

I’ve got an InReach mini Never missed a connection to satellite, even under trees etc Can link to phone app for further features, but I don’t use that much. Messaging (Not essential) is handy for putting Mrs B’s mind at rest Like to be able to just pay for the months that I need it for Cons - only r...

hello - another Ti rider here I’ve got a Singular Pegasus Mk2 (i believe that’s an important number) The Mk1’s were Italian made i believe and had problems with cracking Mk2 made elsewhere (don’t know where) has been very good for me. I got the frame second hand from Singular Sam. and ridden for 4 y...

delivered and now fitted some winter nobbles
No more slipping and sliding about for me

tightened a loose spoke and found a few other not so tight
Retrued the rim only for it to untrue itself

Discovered every spoke hole is cracked (on non drive spokes) not sure what has caused this but rim is scrap

Dismantled and sent hub to favourite Manchester shops for building

Email sent, thanks for the reminder steve

Plenty in the trees, just pick a secluded spot.
When you going - may join you

Instead of a rubber seal, how about a thick plastic to full the gap, but i suppose it depends on whether you need it to keep water out or not

This made a lot of sense to me

I dropped to 170mm and it made a big difference, much more comfy for me

I’ve had before from Back Country Scot in Aviemore
