The lengths that the bike industry goes to instead of just making a slightly bigger hole in rims for a schrader valves never ceases to amaze me.

If his tablet is android then a Samsung 'Fit' of some sort would do if you can install the Samsung health app. My daughters is still going strong after 4 years and the battery lasts days. I'd suggest a Samsung watch if the above looks like it would work but it'll need charging daily and that might b...

Vaynol Arms was good when we went in February, which is handy as apart from the Curry house (which was also good) in Llanberis nowhere else was open/doing food.

It can be a problem for some.

The pillow of his (reinforced) bed is filled with building rubble and his beard is so tough he shaves with a blowtorch.

Isn't the arrow pointing towards the cleat that clips into the bottom of the case? Is the ribbed bit a flexible extension and the metal tab at the other end bolts to something? Is it one for a motorbike instead?

Five Ten Trailcross SPD would seem the obvious choice if you like/fit Five Tens but want laces and some flex. Also on bargain blowout across the Ashley Empire.

Back Country Navigator.

I paid about £12 in 2015 and have reinstalled it on each new phone I've had since for no extra cost. You can download OS maps locally to your device in all scales. There are all sorts of maps for different countries.

Katadyn BeFree works well as it's more of a pouch. No problems drinking straight from it but I usually decant into a regular bottle. I wouldn't want another rigid filter bottle as you'd end up filtering everything whether it needed it or not as as noted above they aren't as easy to use. The katadyn ...

The original had a profound effect on me, I.e. doing the TD. Worried this might be flogging a dead horse though.

My mate is getting a Stumpy from Balfes. 50% off RRP and then C2W on top of that.

After the BOGOF deals earlier in the year you can only expect the worst...

This sort of permasale earned Planet X their "DHF of bikes" nickname but Alpkit have to be contenders for the crown.

I use this brand on my Garmin/wahoo. So cheap why take the risk?

Savvies 18 Pack Screen Protector compatible with Garmin Edge 530 / Edge 830 Protection Film Clear https://amzn.eu/d/1DxyILB

I always put a screen protector on, I don't think gorilla glass and the like is up to many thousand gritty finger swipes. My wahoo had one and that wasn't even a touch screen. It still got tatty rattling about when removed at cafés and so on. Fresh film on the screen and you realise how scuffed the ...

Any on the Twymyn or Dyfi? That'd be interesting to see.

Reintroduced on the Dyfi Reg. Down near the Osprey centre I believe.

Also some at the top of the Artists Valley at Blaeneinion. Just don't mention Covid or 5G.

Yep, just pick which of SD/Evans/HoF/CRC/Wiggle has the best quidco or discount code!

Typical UK mentality now though....... appeasing the masses I dunno if the 4x4 crowd are 'the masses' vs walkers and mountain bikers but in any case this example is in Wales and the Welsh Gov have been rather down on new roads and curtailing drivers so promoting driving through the countryside seem...

Perfect time to mention it for anyone that might have broken Wiggles site.

That was Wiggle it seems.

The section between Southwold and Lowestoft could be straightlined through Sotterley and you wouldn't be missing much.

I know a chap who did the section between Bury and Ipswich the other day and it was an utter mud fest so another reason it's not a year round route!

Thanks all I've managed to sort it ;-) Too late for you now. But TREDZ now have em at £340 plus 10% using the discount code up above. They weren't that cheap so your post might wel have caused the occurrence... https://www.tredz.co.uk/.Garmin-Edge-540-Solar-GPS-Cycle-Computer_260839.htm?sku=937309&...

Phew!!!
It's open to any subscriber, so free trial or one month's digital only for 99p or whatever should do it!

Can someone find me a bargain on a Garmin Edge 540 solar please https://www.balfesbikes.co.uk/ssl/secure/#delivery-details Use the code SAVE25 Dave. £374 total. That’s the ticket. Thanks Shaff.

NB and on a side note (and mods please feel free to delete this comment) but I find it incredible when people - not necessarily us - can mention Lachlan Mortons emissions/CO2 cost but don't give a sh*te about the amount of CO2 the tonnes of bombs that the current genocide is creating.
