It covers the necessary range required for top flight XC and Marathon riders looking to shave thousandths off their lap times. Thats the yardstick to measure it against.

I had a 2013. It's corrected for 80mm iirc.

For what it's worth, bearing in mind my info is a good few years old but Garmin did not recommend the use of rechargeable batteries in the early eTrex range. I think when fully charged a rechargeable cell delivers 1.2v under load whereas a non rechargeable Duracell or similar will start off at 1.5v...

Fox Ranger Gel are my current favourite. Tried some Endura after my last pair of Fox gloves wore out but also found the velcro was absolutely useless.

:lol: Years ago, I was at some conference or other where someone stated that renewable energy schemes would only work if we reduced power consumption significantly. This was well before someone had the bright idea of running cars off electricity. The mitigating factor there is that the 5kwh you use...

I get that Johnnny but you end up with most of the power going to the areas of highest population density i.e. the southern half of the country. With the closure of all the coal schemes the majority of power generation is now in the northern part of the country and that's starting to stick in peopl...

Pity it will be privately owned and most of the electricity will head for the south of England. I'd be a lot more supportive of such things if the power was used locally (i.e within 200 miles) so at least we get the benefit as well as the environmental impact. It'll be load balancing the National G...

this would be tempting if it was a bit further north Why? It's a tin shed you'll likely not be able to do much with. :wink: Closer to home :wink: I reckon you could get it insulated, and then put in a massive log burner, open plan kitchen/bedroom for cheeky get aways with Mrs Voodoo Edit - just rer...

I've got a rockbros one. I'm not fussed about having a gauge as I always do the squeeze test. I'll carry it as well as a pump, it's nice to have when sorting a foul weather or roadside flat.

I do, Strava has gradually removed core functionality and plasters my feed with ads, challenges and info about people I don't know. Garmin on the other hand gives me all the ride data without (for now!) anyy upsell. Hopefully the blurb above is correct that paying for the service gains features, rat...

Straight Cut made mine and it fits perfectly.

I got a years OS sub for £12 in a recent offer and I'm not convinced that was good vfm if I'm honest.

Saves everyone who uses it getting lost eh, good riddance I say. never like the look of it all myself RWGPS ftw :-bd I nreally don't get all the hate for Komoot on here? I guess this forum is quite contrary? I've always found it clear and easy to use,unlike RWGPS , which IMHO is a clunky, unuseable...

I'm going to go against the tide by saying I think riding Yr Wyddfa is a great outing but I'm not going to have it down as any sort of qualification!

I've got one of the Topeaks and a Lezyne HV (from when I had a fat bike). The lezyne looks fancier but the gap between the handle and the pump body is a bit tight so can squash your hands if you aren't careful. The Topeak is the better pump, both the ergonomics and the pump head.

Like Whitestone I have them for rapid inflation when the weather is horrible else I'll use a normal pump. I did get a mini usb rechargeable for my birthday which will probably take the place of CO2 for me if it works well.

Miranda cranks pop up a lot on the eBike forums as short crank specialists. I think they do regular bike cranks as well.

I've got both and would recommend them. If you use a seatpack it could cause some problems if the straps go around the pivots.

For one reason or another the MBR article appears to have been tweaked to be less misleading.

Did it really need a conference centre and a sculpture park? I'd argue that it did, I imagine the conference space would get used for event sign ons (antifreeze, beast, Welsh Ultra, etc.) And the sculpture park gives non-riders something to do while half the family is off on the bike ride for a few...

If they aren't quarter turn compatible you can always use something this or a stick on adapter.
