Re: Food Supplements
for ultimate sporting performance i assume that some form of supplements will be required as all the beneficial stuff may not be easily consumable - by that i mean there is unlikely to be a professional athlete, in any sport, that is not consuming supplements to enhance performance. As for supplemen...

Re: Bargain Alert Thread
tend to agree but there is no harm [ except to your wallet] in a broad spectrum placebo
I would still just get a cheaper multivitamin than that if i was worried as vit c and Iron can be purchased cheaper than that.

These include Lakeland 200, Cairngorms Loop and Yorkshire Dales 300. All should have been completed inside the time limits. I’ll also accept the northern...

Re: Stans in very wet conditions.

I cannot see how a wet ride can alter the tyre - if its sealed it sealed and if air is not getting out then water is not getting in - and remember the tyre has a positive pressur...

Re: Aiguille bikepacking kit
It would not work as they would just shorten and I assume [ depending on hoe they are secured ] allow the seat bag to move around as the "stability" lines went looseHow would it work on full suss frames or if you use a dropper post (or both)?

Re: drilling drop bars handlebars for di2 ....anyone done it

YMMV
