Dorking, in the Surrey Hills.

Terrific! You really capture those special moments outside the beige box of day-today existence

My two penn’orth- I asked all these questions on here before buying my Pickenflick (2x11 50/34 and 11/32). I decided I’d need to run an MTB chainset and bought one to swap in for the original. Well, I’ve had the Pickenflick for a year now and ridden it loaded down the Ridgeway and all over the South...

Garmin Edge Explore, as mentioned on the Bargain alert thread and some waterproof shorts (another bargain - Endura MTR, £50 from Evans)

I ordered one of those Garmin from there at the weekend. Should get it this week

I’ve just bought an adhesive Garmin mount and a spare case for my phone. Seems a pretty good (cheap) solution, although my iPhone XR is a big lump and it does leave me slightly nervous over sustained big bumps.

I’m only going to use this as emergency back-up for a Garmin.

No but still ...

Wow! That guy in jaminb’s video takes his home comforts seriously. Seems like a *lot* of faff for a single night. But each to their own.

And the stove is certainly a neat bit of kit.

Looks interesting. Added to my list of things to squeeze in during 2020

Yes, I also just ordered a bargain nano net. Ta for the tip!

I don’t have one for sale but I bought a J&L Ti post for about £50 on eBay a year ago and have been impressed with it. Cheap and good IME.

Gore Shakedry C7 jacket £150 at Blacks https://www.blacks.co.uk/mens/050973-go ... grey.html/

£120 for the women’s version

I love getting socks. Mmm ... new socks. No, really.

Aside from socks, I got a really nice Castelli Perfetto jersey. Unfortunately, I’ll need to lose a few pounds of winter plumage before I can wear it without it feeling and looking like a corset.

Can’t see a size on your ad ...

I brought a bottle of raki back from a holiday in Turkey years ago. Drank it with friends and ended up attacking the television with a frying pan. Didn’t try using it as paint stripper but I’m confident it would be effective.

BB200 2014 route on a Puch Maxi anyone?

From the past, my On-One 456. It was one of the original batch in “that blue”. It marked a turning point from XC-focused hardtails to something with a rowdier intent. It was heavy, the paint was a bit soft and the welds a bit ugly but it looked purposeful and rode really well. But the two current bi...

Pretty much, although I’ve never serviced any of those myself. (Except a lowers service on a Fox 34, which is easy).

I have a couple of Carnac (Planet X) road helmets. Basic but comfy and as I’m confident they’re as safe as anything similar if you adjust and wear them properly.

I take it this is a later version? Mine has a straight steerer tube, which would limit your options somewhat. Assuming you can fit a tapered steerer, you probably want a boost Fox 34 or a Pike/Rev.

Blimey! They’re wide. Not sure I buy that.

My Genetic Digests already feel like they’re pushing the boundaries of what a drop bar should be. But ... hmmmm

Boots or shoes, water gets in the top. Waterproof boots are excellent at keeping the water in once it’s in. Your best hope of dry feet IME is knee-length Sealskinz socks and past-the-knee waterproof shorts, or just full-length waterproof trousers. But eventually you’ll get wet feet. The Northwave co...

Wow! Looks spectacular

Enjoying the updates. Thanks!
