Re: Spot Tracker Wanted thread.
Hi, Has anybody got a spot tracker or Ireach that I could borrow/hire for a trip from 17/4-1/5? Obviously happy to pay towards your costs of subscription, postage etc. If I was to borrow an Ireach, what are the best airtime options and costs for a short trip ie less than a month? I might be able to ...

Re: New (carbon?) wheels
Not sure about the comment on BiTex hubs here:- (cos I assume at this price they'll be cheap rubbish Bitex) Always found them very good, seals keep the poo out, easy to service & amazing quick freehub pick-up + considerably cheaper than competitors. I did a reasonable amount of research last ye...

Hi,
What airport are you flying to?
I'm in Southampton and interested but need to decide whether to explore this area of Spain or go to Jordan which is also an option.

Re: Waterproof Overshoes in a hurry - suggest some!
Anybody able to recommend some nylon type overshoes ? Although I have some nice ones made out of a neoprene type material, I really miss my Aldi nylon type overshoes as they were so quick to put on and off and kept the worse off the weather and mud off. They were very thin so not the best for warmth...

Rim advice please
Hi I’m looking at a rear wheel build and was considering a Kinlin TL29 rim, 29” and 32H to match my front wheel. They are currently in short supply and can’t get a Matt black one unless it has eyelets, so my wheel builder at the club has offered me a DT Swiss M502 as an alternative. Any experience/c...

Re: Bargain Alert Thread
Heads up for bargains on the Madison CC website. Their kit is pro quality and criminally underrated. I've got their interpretations of a Castelli Gabba/Perfetto for about 25 quid each - normal RRP is around 90 quid. What do they call their Castelli gabba equivalent or do you have a link? Andy

Re: Pedalcell shutting down
Whilst I'm no expert on such systems I always doubted whether the Pedalcell could really cope with muddy off road conditions, despite the assurances that it could. If it was so good, I very much doubt the company would be closing and I never really heard much about them apart from write ups from the...

I'm thinking about getting a friend from the club to build me a new rear wheel but just thought I would see what might be available here before going ahead. I was looking at a Kinlin TL29 32H rim (to match my front), with a Bitex BX211R hub and Sapim Force spokes. I'm not that practical so ideally l...
