I've heard the bars aren't quite symmetrical, and the welding isn't as neat as the Jones, but only what I've heard. For ballance, I've got a PX London Road and that's been faultless over thousands of miles. Aren't the Geoffs made by a nitto? My set of Geoffs were fine (although I didn't get on with...

I got some half price merrell thermo cross boots the seem pretty warm and waterproof so far - still got some big sizes on eBay

Thanks Al. Will check those too.

I just bought some Columbia Fairbanks. Had a couple of very cold rides in them and, while they're not exactly toasty, they are warmer than my summer shoes, seemingly waterproof (lots of icy puddles) and grip the pedals really well. I shopped around and found them for £65 or so (on Amazon actually)....

I'm looking for some flat pedal winter shoes/boots. Anyone got any recommendations?

Anyone else heading over from the east for this?

Nice, but I'd have to amputate some toes

You're not from the Fens are ya?

hahaha, close enough.

Dee's just returned home with these from Lidl. Waterproof, thermal fleecy lining, heat reflecting insoles and a sole well suited to flat pedal use. £16.99 https://www.lidl.co.uk/en/p/ski-gear/livergy-adults-winter-boots/p26810 https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-VM8dirUaYqM/Xcw7_GjPmNI/AAAAAAAAHWk/HLw_TS3kE...

Looks like part of an album sleeve to me, something designed by Hipgnosis?

There's an old Yew just down the road from me, the map shows it about 10 miles away.

Got a feeling some is user generated content. Bound to be some errors

Love that! I can see myself visiting some of the local ones

Nice one!
big old yews make fantastic shelters.

Found these when looking up old trees in my neck of the woods ( ) and thought others might find they offer some inspiration:

Turns out there's virtually f-all near me

Aye 'twas in the original article :wink: . Although curiously most refs were the correct Aberdare so maybe it is indeed somewhere else entirely :wink: . Hahaha, ace. Could've been a small Welsh town sponsored by a software company, unlikely, but possible. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dish,_Texas...

possibly due to autocomplete culminating in Aberdare being written as Adaware. Bugger, it's finally happened, as I've passed my age milestone of 3 score years, not only have I become physically invisible, my forum posts have followed suit. :roll: Apropos of nothing. Heard a tale told recently by Bo...

That Adaware route area has been on me list for ages, I must move it higher up. Some lovely remote spots. In fact not too far from the 'officially most remote Welsh hill top' which has got to be worth a BaM visit.

I'm guessing that is a bit of autocorrect magic

Seems to be working again - the previous google error message comes up but if you press OK it disappears and you've got the OSM map up.

Ace!

Thanks techno, I had googled a bunch of things that just kept coming up with links to segments that were named with some of the search terms or blog posts about updates.

Yeah I had to deploy an amount of google-fu to find it.

Update tab, Drop-down arrow. Unit Settings ate in there, just found out myself. Thanks Google

Cateye do a range of mounts that will fit to a seat stay and allow the light to be rotated so it is vertical.

I fit a taillight on my seatpack.

aye, I use one of these on my stooge seatstays: https://www.bikeinn.com/bike/cateye-rea ... 3/124659/p

I'll just leave this here too:

https://www.eventbrite.com/e/the-yorkshire-500-tickets-75856864925 Just came across this. A similar thing as the nc500 it seems but around Yorkahire. Hoping to complete it next year God-Willing and fundraise for 10 orphans... Only slight glitch is that the event creator doesn't appear to be wanting...

Missed the asterisk. Hey ho.

Now if there was a similar gizmo for repairing cracked Ti frames, where do I sign?

It's called a TIG welder bud :lol:
Bit bulky to fit in the frame bag though.

Personally I carry this lot on longer and remove a few bits when local or on a shorter ride: Mountain morph Pump with gaffer tape wrapped round.
