There's a Lion on ebay at the mo, not sure how they compare, if they are different things?

I'm very happy with my Restrap bar system, might be worth a look

Closely followed by my Technium Chill

Thanks for all the suggestions, quite a few to look at I've kind of gone off the NW Raptors now, after looking at different soles available they don't look that great for off the bike stuff, The wife sent me a link for some Mavic Crossmax SL Thermo which looked very swanky, I'm not sure the zip is a...

I think I want to give clipless a try so I’ve been eyeing up footwear options. I’m leaning towards a higher boot rather than a shoe, NW Raptor types Are GTX lined riding boots as crap as GTX hiking boots or are they worth the spend? Recent outings have made it clear that I’m going to get wet and mud...

Yep that was us. You should have given us s knock, it was very toasty in there!

It looks a lot more cosy than fighting with broken guylines and flailing fly sheets at stupid o’clock

It was certainly a wild one, I ended up camping lower down the valley for a couple of nights. Rode up to the cottage on Saturday afternoon but was probably too early to catch you guys and it was too grim to hang around for long.

Thanks Sean

I'm out in N Wales for a few nights this weekend so I'll see how it goes

I changed my front pads after my last ride, now I've got a loose rattle/knock upfront when I rock the bike with the brake on I think it's just the new split pin being slightly narrower than the last one, the ends of the pin are well splayed but it doesn't feel right to me. Rotors are torqued up corr...

Happy birthday Dee

Just stumbled across this place on ebay, some decent prices on all sorts of gear

I was planning a few days out on the fatty around the Eigiau area that weekend, if timings work I’ll knock on the door and say hi.
Much depends on the weather and if I can get up that hill to the car park

Not the postman, but I nipped over to Alpkit's new shop in Gateshead to pick up a set of Confucius bars. Spotted them the other week while taking a break from an Ikea trip. Couldn't think why I hadn't tried them before in my quest for the perfect bikepacking handlebar, then realised I'd never seen ...

Enjoyed that, thanks for posting

Apologies if this has been posted before, I did a quick search but couldn't see anything

I stumbled across this site earlier today, it looks quite handy for putting routes together in the LD

I might try and join you guys for this one, just need to see how recovery goes after an op next week.

That is if a fat bloke on a fat bike won’t slow you down too much

Just gone off my sausage sandwich for some reason

I was surprised too, I wore a HH Lifawool long sleeve top with Montane fleece over the top, Montane wind shirt over that, full length tights and shorts on the bottom, lower half was okay but my core was pretty chilly. I probably wasn’t working hard enough to generate much heat due to lack of fitness...

First trip out on my bike this weekend, just a few laps of Ennerdale, exploring all the side tracks then a very blair witch esque camp to finish Some thoughts I've come away with, I need some glasses as anything above 20mph makes my eyes water, my handlebar bag made my brakes mushy so need to think ...

If you use Chrome, right click and choose print, then save as PDF. The option might be hidden so there may be a drop down to expand

Ah that explains it then

Thanks pistonbroke

Where’s the link please, I’m viewing on a phone so it might not show for me

Tried the shop but couldn’t see them there
