Gnarpoon is ok though

What works for me: Ortlieb accessory pouch - really nice light waterproof bar bag that can be used as an add-on to the bar roll or on its own on a day ride. Ideal for stuffing a map and electronics in. What doesn't work: Ortlieb bar roll - waterproof and fairly bombproof but it doesn't work well wit...

It was a good week including a 3 hour ride but with a big loss last week I wasn’t expecting much of one this week

Silly question perhaps but is there a mode button on the USB-werk? ie is it in a different setting to the other one?Beyond that I've just got 'is it plugged in' and 'have you turned it off and on again'?

I have wonder how much of that was water loss through sweat!

Neil Beltchenko uses AXS - I think he said he gets fewer RSI style hand / wrist issues.

It's the new wonderful way of doing business. snip I wonder how creditors ie own brand factories are dealt with in this case, I work with one of them in Asia. Much will depend on whether they want a continuing relationship I expect. It's probably going to depend on how long the supply pipeline is a...

It's the new wonderful way of doing business. As far as I understand it, you basically you buy a company by loaning the company enough money to buy itself. The company now has a whole lot of debt and one (two really since you have to include HMRC) secured creditor, the parent holding company. If bus...

I checked back through my photos and I saw it in the showroom in November 2018!

Vapourware?

They do physically exist, or at least samples do, since I saw one in the showroom in Brum.

The complete lack of reviews has moved it down on my list - that and until things get more back to normal and I can go back into the office, I can't go into the ribble showroom to ask for a testride (if they even do them)

My two major weight gain periods in my life were when I lived over an ice cream parlour and a bakery

My missus has had to do a Dominic Cummings to look after a sick relative taking one of the boys with her but that's meant I've had to juggle working from home with ensuring my 8 year old is kept alive and fed so there's been zero exercise and lots (and lots) of snacking.

A big bro fits all those numbers except reach in large - it’s closer in medium

garden testing... Sensible ploy. When I got mine ages ago I thought it would be nice to test it on the stainless steel sink draining board in our utility room. I was slightly taken aback by how, er, playful it was when it bloomed! When it does bloom, if you don't laugh out loud at how amazing it is...

Will the tool roll fit a mountain bike tube or only a road/gravel one? Do you think the pot bag would be ok on the down tube or is it more designed for a fork leg? Should fit a MTB tube okay Paul, strap is certainly long enough to accommodate it. Pot bag on the downtube, certainly. It's perhaps an ...

A reet big box of stuff from AcePac, including their new harnesses, pot bags and tool rolls. Once I've sorted it all out I'll post something in case anyone wants owt before I add it all to the shop. Will the tool roll fit a mountain bike tube or only a road/gravel one? Do you think the pot bag woul...

What alternative use are folks proposing for grouse moors? Most of them have sheep grazing on them already (albeit at low densities so they don't get rid of all the heather). Surely the reason they ended up being grouse moors is because they're bugger all use for anything else? A lot of grouse moor...

51 indeed.....

51 was so last week, SRAM have gone 52

Oooo it’ll work with my rear derailleur

Your rear derailleur is worth about the same as my entire bike

Modern 29ers are a semi-skimmed 2.9 x 2.6 rather full-fat

In theory you could cycle yourself into fitness by slowly ramping up the miles. That would be my plan

It's probably about time spindles on pedals changed sizes so that everyone needs to get new cranks to be uptodate. You've got to love the bike industry.

It’s an expensive upgrade too since it’s not backward compatible with the older Eagle derailleurs and the cheapest version of the cassette is 200 quid!

Shimano one-upped SRAM with Microspline and 10-51 cassettes and now SRAM have fired back with Eagle 520 and a 10-52 cassette.
