Post up pics if you can please James, I've heard good things about those mudguards. I'm running SKS guards with my 35/32mm Marathon plus tyres, but they fitted with 40c nanos as well

Nice little vid that John, shows them working well

Ahem, we still managed two beer stops, three if you count the last one in the woods. Not bad considering the pubs were shut!

FItted some loop bars to my Cotic Solaris. Can't believe I've not done this before now. Still undesided as to whether to change the grips to something longer? I do love the Rental grips, but they limit the posible hand positions. Solaris 01.jpg Was browsing the thread and saw this. I have this Sola...

Nice one Andy, that looks absolutely ace. I spent a two year period doing a lot of trips and work in Africa, what a fantastic continent it is. I'd love to do some riding there, great looking trip

Went past the 'cheaper' chippy nearish me. £2 for a regular, large is £3. Dread to even check the one in my town, will defo be more!

Shaf, be aware that these lights are really not so good on the road. The beam is very flood and you'll blind car drivers. They're great off road but I think you might be planning on doing road riding with them You can angle down and to the kerb but still not great and faff for when you do ride off r...

Bloody hell, I'm more impressed that a large chips is £1.50.

A small portion round here is more than that!!

My Hylex are absolutely excellent. Have put thousands of miles on them and they've been trouble free.

Had to redo the fluid when I let the pads get so worn that the pistons were pushed out, entirely my fault. They're very good brakes, the levers feel nice, and they're blooming reliable

So, up there in Shafs pics is a yellow bird. It's not a yellowhammer, and it doesn't look like a wagtail. What is it? Golden Oriole is extremely rare so I doubt it, but it's been bugging me for a few weeks. I thought I knew a lot of birds but I don't recognise this one (and it's not a baby robin be...

Subway bags are also good as waterproof socks!

Heard, and then saw, a couple of Lapwing in the fields near me. Flew over head from one field to another, seemed like a courting/mating ritual going on

Not seen them near me before, it's on a nice little track, was a pleasant few minutes just watching and listening

Nice one Reg

A fleece is dead, long live the fleece!

I guess what we really want are socks that are like the warm insulated cheap gloves you can get screwfix

That coating is very robust and very water resistant

Some nice bits for the van Electric motor for my cargo bike Nice new group set for my MTB Tarptent Aeon Li shelter Thermarest uberlite mat Fancy gravel bike Bigger garage Some B2 boots I need none of that stuff, would be happy it if just appeared. Might end up getting the last item for a trip, but t...

Absolutely top drawer ride with top drawer chaps. Reg, you’ve done a wonderful job of writing up our trip, thank you sir To be honest there’s not much I can add. Lots and lots of off road tracks with very little road sections. And nearly all of it new to me. Beautiful area. Lost the bag from my fro...

Reg might be interested in the MH jacket

This thread has given my eyes an allergic reaction

Have a look on ali express if one doesn't turn up here, really good value and quality is good

Or the opposite of deja vu. Pas encore vu?

"jamais vu"

Set of Jones Loops in carbon flavour. Have a set of original loops and VO crazy casey bars but haven't got round to fitting then to my solaris yet. The carbon ones took my fancy though and are replacing some Thomson carbon bars that I've used for over five years now Put them on earlier and wrapped t...

I like my alpkit woodsmoke but it's way too hot for summer have a berghaus fast hike short that I like. Proper long sleeves, stretch panel and really fast drying

There are a few sections like this near me. I live in a bit of North London with lots of green belt land. Lots of people here and quite a few stables in the area, so lots of horses actually use the bridleway when they exist, which means in these conditions they're ridiculously bumpy. I usually just ...

Oregon and Dakota tend to be the recommendation. I'm using a very old model of the former

I had a big one near me, and have been in plenty of others

You never know, it might be an opportunity to refinance and clean themselves up.

They sell some really nice bits of kit but also a lot of tat. I quite liked their price match approach and have used that quite a few times
