So not muppets socks....I'm shocked

Rack sold

Rohloff chain tensioner £30 posted

Also a pair of mavic EX729 26" rims in perfect condition make me an offer for these highly sought after antiquities.

I also have 3 mavic 29plus tubes one unused and the other two just used for initial set up £15 posted

If you already have a pocket why not just use ziplock bags?

Rohloff?

Must have the ability to easily run a rohloff hub for me, best cycling investment I've ever made. Also no silly bottom bracket ideas. Something like the ecr but with through axels, rohloff, dynamo hub and an ebb for an easy life. The tumbleweed looks good but it's getting into jones money.

Can anyone tag along with the LHC , not done any multiday events before and be kinda nice to join a group of likeminded people... That's the idea behind it. It's always been an open house policy. Other people to get lost with, superb idea :-bd on the other hand if there's no set route can you ever ...

I know that off by heart

Me too and my first ever bike hat, not sure I like them but I make my boy wear one and after descending some rocky exmoor tracks I might even wear it.

I'm happy with my ECR but I do keep looking at pictures of the ti jones plus, and various supermodels.

Neither is going to happen

Even worse is kipping in a semi crap spot when you passed somewhere which retrospectively was perfect five miles back.

I remember from watching David Bellamy on telly that the red light is good for watching badgers anyway.

I thought red light was for watching Beavers?

Stop sniggering at the back

A porcelain rocket Albert would fit, if you can get hold if one. Expensive but good quality kit. Another option might be a carridice saddle bag,some of the mounting options sit quiet high, I have a low saddle camper and it holds loads of kit.

I think they would be fine, i copied my card to a virtual USB drive as suggested in this thread and all is working great in basecamp and on my Garmin 810, perhaps you could borrow a card and check

Just spend £29 on this sd card. Pop it in the back of your Etrex and enjoy 1:50K OS mapping of the entire UK ... it's that simple. http://www.ioffer.com/i/gb-discoverer-1-50k-full-coverage-v4-map-on-micro-sd-613393020 Will this work on an Oregon 600? Yes :grin: However, if I were you I'd get this o...

So far out it's back here

I've just downloaded the OS 1:25K for my iPhone and ordered a 1:25 & 1:50K card for my garmin, I might get the paper map for some bedtime reading, it's always nice to see the whole picture. Sometimes when you plot a trail on the computer you don't see the full enormity of what is about to befall...

Give me a shout if you don't like the Schnozzle,I use a tube thing which connects to an exped drybag. Pain in the arse, the Schnozzle looks like the perfect solution.

I love the smell of castrol R, takes me back to watching GP racing back when they rode proper bikes Not something I smell much any more but any 2 stroke burning Putoline T2 and quick as a flash, it's the late 80's and I'm back riding with 'The South London LC Cult' and being dragged along the the s...

Can anyone point me in the right direction mapwise

Not until April 1st when the GR are released, however I can tell you that you'll need Explorer 215

It's quite lumpy...

Can anyone point me in the right direction mapwise, I have all of wales in 1:50k but I presume 1:25k tiles would be useful, I can spend the next few weeks scaring myself by looking at maps

All I need now is someone to ride with, hopefully I can convince some gullible friends to enter as well

Oops seems like I have a spousal pass issued for may bank holiday
