1. Does the size of the seat tube affect compliance i.e. a 27.2mm internal seat tube will be more compliant than a 31.6mm? More to do with seatpost extension, material and diameter (in that order) 2. Does the shape / bends of a seat stay affect compliance i.e. straight v 'S' bends? No, in fact bendi...

Reliable AA lights? Fenix LD20. I have had mine for 7 years+ and have used them in all conditions around the world. 2 Lithium AAs give 3hrs+, Duracells 2hrs+. 1 on the bars, 1 on the helmet is fine for 90% of stuff, 24hr races I have 2 on the bars. Commuting I have one on the bars and have done for ...

Luckily with sprog #1 on the way I will have, in a few years, someone in the family who will think that sleeping under the stars and getting muddy is fun!

Oh FFS it's like singlespeedping all over again...

There are pretty much 2 options for reliable, servicable singlespeed rear wheels: White Industries freewheel and a good screw-on rear hub (Surly, DMR, Phil Wood, Paul...) Hope SS - take some spare pawls and springs in a little ziploc bag if you are paranoid. Use a nice wide-base sprocket like Surly ...

I have the howies Epic Cotton trousers and the shorts. While not waterproof (and they were only sold as water repellant anyway) they are great in light showers and dry very fast from a soaking. They are cut for cycling, no big seams on the ass and no rear pockets (redundant and more seams where you ...

Part of a "not happening any time soon" plan for some bike packing in the Atlas Mountains this March / April (best time to go according to my research...Easy Jet flights are pretty cheap at the moment too!) 5 1:160k maps covering a massive area and with some good detail. Marrakech Azilal M...

Quick rattle can black and a bar end plug and sorted :) Run in place of a 30mm headset spacer and worked really well...if it could be o...

Ah so they are...wondered what all the "roads" through the woods were :) I was never sure on the whole French take on RoW. The last time I was stealth camping...and drinking brandy at 11am but that is another story! Thanks for the heads up...might pencil that in as a trip for next year :mr...

Sorry...having a senior moment...where are the original tracks? Only on GoogleEarth (follow the trail if you can see it on the sat pic) or as a separate KML layer?

PS Hello to a fellow ferret fan!

Fingers crossed mine is one of the good ones :D EDIT: Contacted SportsPursuit and cancelled the order. They don't keep stock and only order from the supplier once the "sale" is finished...which is why it takes 2-4 weeks to get stuff (and possibly a lot longer in this case!) Might just spen...

I use Fenix LD20 with a 2Fish handlebar mount for on the bike (and a 2nd one on the helmet if needed) and then around camp I use a Niteize headband to turn it into a head torch.

I am looking at doing the Trans Cambrian Way over 2-3days on/after the up coming August bank holiday. Pace will be relaxed but I hope to complete it in 2 days if possible and catch a train from Dovey Jct. Bivvi with pub grub / take away in towns if we hit them at the right time. Any takers? <usernam...

Hi, Has anyone used a Revelate-type handlebar sling on a pair of Jones loop bars? I am wondering if a pair would play nicely with the sling on the front part of the loop rather than on the bit that goes through the stem? I am thinking that with it there the head tube strap round the stem it might ho...
