I used some pillar spokes from aliexpress that are very similar to the cx-ray http://s.aliexpress.com/JN3ueYzY They were fine to build with but you’ll need a bladed spoke holder to get them straight without marking them. Using them scratched an itch I had but I have since defaulted to sapim d-light ...

Garmin etrex 30 with 16 gb SD card. There is most recent version of openmtb GB map installed. USB cable included that seems to give reliable connection to unit from computer. Couple of slight scratches to screen but not visible when screen is on. There are some deeper scuffs to unit away from screen...

I have 2 rims that I’ve changed my mind on and am about to return to CRC. I paid £45 per rim, looks like they’re now selling for £61 so if anyone is considering then a chance to get them a bit cheaper

I’d recommend getting on the turbo at 1959 on a Thursday evening. If your in an urban setting you’ll get a round of applause just for getting on it!

Or in Cardiff last night neighbours banging saucepans and someone letting fireworks off....

I have a Tubus Vega in the 26/28” flavour in black. It’s been well used and has some paint rubs. Do you want some pictures?

Explorers web has a list of free Banff Mtn Film Festival films that can be viewed for free https://explorersweb.com/2020/03/23/100-adventure-films-to-stream-for-free/ Anybody get this to work? Clicked on the link to the movie list and went to what looked like a PDF then weird sub standard started h...

Hi Stu,

I bought one here that isn’t ideal for what I want on reflection, but it’ll only take 26” wheels. Think I paid £50 plus postage and Includes the dry bag. Let me know if you want some photos

I have a set that I offered up to my cargo bike and decided they didn’t offer me anything extra. Looks like they’re £25 on on one plus postage depending on how much you spend overall. I’m open to offers. I’m in Cardiff if you’re local to there and wanted to collect.

I have a pair - find them comfortable and they keep feet dry. I get cold feet and when it’s cold out on long rides my feet will still freeze in them. I have some 45Nrth Japanthers which are a very definite step up in warmth. I’m not sure how suitable the MW5s would be for long days out in winter dep...

I've treated my wrists to something drop barred with a bouncy fork, and robbed the groupset that fitted from my gravel bike. I have for sale (in Cardiff if you want to collect): On one Bish bash bosh gravel frameset in large, including hope seatpost clamp, selcof carbon seatpost, spare mech hanger a...

My memory of that is that the track off to the left isn't initially obvious but just as it goes over the crest of the hill becomes obviously surfaced. Case of following the gpx line.

Even more vague but if you miss it recall a stream crossing then a left hand bend and possibly a slight rise

Take something to write with - you'll need to write on your Brevet card. Depending on how efficient you need to be at controls always order something you can eat straight away as well as something that needs to be prepared. Ask for water bottle refills when you order not when about to leave. I often...

I have a stem cell XL in garish yellow. It's had very little use since I found it would swing and hit my knees when standing up on the peddles. £25 posted?

Charger is also not something I’ve ever needed using the smaller batteries. With just GPS plugged in the batteries will charge from flat in about 1 hour of cycling I used the extension cables from the magic shine lights as a source of molded on waterproof connectors. Used to get them from Dx for a c...

I have used one for touring and on a commute bike and very much rate them, so much so that I have a velological 3 phase generator ready to pair with the new 3 phase board for use with my Audax bike. I like plenty of power available for lots of light or GPS and phone and usb battery charger. Of cours...

Hi, I have a set of forks is be willing to sell from an 19" frame that I've got a very seized seatpost in. Looks like the headtube is 110mm on mine rather than 120mm on the XL. Bit difficult to measure exactly the steerer length but it's ~200mm. If you're interested let me know and I'll drop th...

I have one of these that is 1.2kg that I'd be open to offers on since it never gets used and has only been pitched in the garden to check it. Arrival of my daughter and moving to a pretty full on job is why it never gets used. 1 Person 4 Season Tent Double Skin 20D Silicone Fabric Super Lightweight ...

Could be when you have put in the first spoke on the 2nd side you lace up that you have chosen the wrong hole in the rim - 1 too far round or not far enough if that makes sense. Think I've managed to do that and get problem you describe. Effectively the 2 patterns are laced at different angles on th...

Adrian pm sent. Think it would have been a bit big cheeky monkey.

Bit of a clear out, photos here: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1FU6tDCtPQpdg4a81b5Yp6JKZeSK0Rud- All prices include postage by myHermes (or royal mail at a push). Could also collect from Cardiff. Alpkit Frame Bag £35 Measures 33x57x49cm. Used quite a bit on my commute bike so you can see the mate...

Another option might be handwarmers placed on the back of hands in gloves - used to fly a paraglider and during winter it was the only way I could keep my hands warm. I used the 'hothands' ones from Amazon

All sold now thanks

C15 and C17 saddles for sale. Asking £60 each posted by MyHermes (happy to look at different carrier at cost) and payment by paypal. Originally bought the C17 new and rode for about a hundred miles and then bought the C15 from Ian on here which suits my arse but sadly I seem to have an issue where b...

Steve - I'm just off Maes y Coed road. You're welcome to come try it for size, drop me a pm if interested.

Naffa, will see how it goes and drop you a line later

Genesis Fortitude adventure 19", I'm 6'1" and the photos show it with the seatpost correct for me. Currently in it's commuting configuration which is what I used it for most with full SKS guards, Tortec steel rear rack and Marathon Mondial 28x2.0 tyres. I used dynamo lights (which I've tra...
