Re: Liner, Quilt, or Better Bag?

I've got the Sea to Summit thermal liner and it's done the job for me. I can use it with my summer bag and base layer/long johns and be warm enough in winter. Half price at the minute if you buy direct https://seatosummit.co.uk/products/thermolite-reactor-liner They do 2 warmer versions than that if...

If I need to dig a hole, I'll reach for a spade rather than get someone with a machine.

Re: A week outta Chamonix in June?

Any recommendations on routes would be much appreciated. I'd do the TMB anticlockwise then spur off from Orsieres for 2 or 3 days and head further east into Switzerland on the Haute Route - it's stunning and there's some ridiculous riding. You can ride as far east/go over as many cols as time allow...

Have you tried the Halfords one?

£20 I've been using one for a couple of years and found it to be more reliable and beter to use than the more expensive Garmin version.

Re: What makes the black dashed line - rideable?

The Kinder plateau is all access land Shaf so you're fine pushing/carrying the bike. Realistically you're unikely to meet many/any people on that bit anyway unless it's the height of summer. I've ridden the black line - some fun trials-y bits of rock to get over and some peaty bog.

Re: Thank you.

Big thanks to both of you and great to see and chat with with you as always. :grin:

One of the toughest routes but also one of the best I think - it's probaly the one that will live the longest in the memory and maybe that's the most important thing.

Re: The BB200 Tyre Anxiety Thread

I was Nobby Nic front and Ikon rear for about 5 BB200s, just the right balance imo. Went Ikon front and rear for the covid year and was wishing for a bit more grip up front on a couple of the descents.

3" Chronicle front and XR2 rear this year. Might even do XR2 both ends.

Oh crap just found the third one on my 2XXX gpx.

I've done that both times I've been over there. There's a...

Silly rabbits, overthinking it. There will be pain, and it will be character building.

Re: Dub bottom.brackets are they rubbish?

I've had the exact same experience with Dub - went through three in no time at all. Found them tricky to get hold of at the time too. Eventually binned the crankset and bought Hollowtech 2, no bother since.

I do everything in Strava. Look at the heatmaps, look at segments, look at the sort of riding that people riding those segments are doing.
