Re: Bargain Alert Thread
as ,long as you have removable valve cores then it just needs to be small enough to fit in the valve and large enough to not clog with stans I have used a variety including the epic bleed ones and ones from the vets https://www.epicbleedsolutions.com/products/bleed-kit-spares/ you do not need a £12 ...

Re: Bargain Alert Thread
do you mean use stans in an inner tube?
If so you will need something
personally i unscrew the valves and then use a syringe - this is for injection into a seated tyre I have never used stans in a tube

Re: Garmin Dakota bike mount recommendation
my etrex was ejected from that mount three times so I also use the RAM mount- it was very poor.
Secure as can be with space for batteries underneath and never ejected it yet - i cannot see what would except for smashing it to bits crashing

Re: Hydralight - power from salt water.
me neither nor any sort of explanation of power or how many cycles you can get from it
yes you can wait 25 years but how many times can you dip it in water and it works?
does it need to be fresh or sat water?

I can’t see the benefit that a dedicated GPS has over my phone its waterproof so works in the rain, it runs for about 22 hours on batteries and i can replace them easily and they are cheaper than a good phone so less annoying if you break it A phone , with the screen on all the time, is going to be...

Re: Resurrecting a Sawyer Mini water filter
as it uses a mechanical method of filtering - ie an actual physical barrier- i cannot see how storage deteriorates it
I would imagine it is fine but i am no expert

Re: LOCK -strong and light [so probly not cheap]
my solution is to remove the chain using the quick link and then use the chain as a lock securing the chain with a padlock Pluses are 1. this is cheap 2. looks strong 3. pretty long 4. hardly any weight penalty Negatives 1. You can only fit a small padlock so that will be the weak point 2. might be ...

If you are thinking of riding it, do it now Doing it next Tuesday The climbs on the Dovey to Knighton leg seem more brutal though (especially the Foel Fadian climb). Counting down the climbs was my main brain activity on the way back. And doing it that way considerably more gently paced than you Go...
