What they say it's basic and cheap, sooty and smelly.
Its probably lighter than gas Personally if faff is not an issue I would use a meths stove before one of those. That said its fool proof to use but a packable wood burner would do the same job

Water bottles with filters are good for UK as plenty of water/ east to fill *. MSR if you need to filter a puddle * I try to collect as high as possible and fast flowing / away from agriculture. Churches are a great option for road riding ( anything with a garden/ recent graves/ will have an externa...

Rooley Moor Road for death by cobble

Thankfully it's not at all bleak there so the views will make up for the struggle.

With you on that point FB can ..best stop I will go all Malcolm Tucker . nothing about personal liability - insuring myself against loss or damage?? Briitish cycling membership covers this ( check level) if its a " race" or lower levels if a " commute/ leisure cycle and surely it's th...

It's an expensive gpx.

And its £125 plus tracker hire and registration

what exactly are you getting, in a self supported ITT, that warrants that?

well played

especially 6" is 15cm Looks like I am today's pendant it's not it's quite close hence 30cm is known as a "metric foot" when it isn't quite a foot. Km. I need to convert to metric ( it's the only one) to understand and I believe cyclists use them to pretend they went further :wink: .....

Agreed but oddly a football pitch is not an actual standard SIZE and can technically be square (90-120 long and 45 - 90 wide)

Tredzs have 15% off helmets with the code HELMWTS15

not tried it mind but got an email

Just done the same rim ( after having to replace my dynamo hub and had to use a tube first to bead one side ( tubeless tyre which had been tubeless on that rim previously)

Not the easiest I have ever done or the hardest

Smaller version is 3-6 and larger version n 5-10litre( could probably get bigger in than 10 l for large but thibk it would run the risk of excess sway if you did ( love mine fwiw but have the larger version and never tried smaller) I think it advises a tapered drybag but, I use theirs, so not 100l%....

Great news

I use the cheapest from Ebay( all have worked fine)
I use a 30 ml syringe from. Ebay and inject via valve)
I use valves ( as they eventually gum up) from. Ebay
I tend to use stans fluid but I assume they all work including home brew options

On a Garmin 530

Cheers and all done and map is displaying. Wi give it a couple of weeks use and report back ( mix of the familiar and unfamiliar)

That pretty much. Hose it down, in winter at the end, and lube chain.

I would not drive home from an event and then clean my bike ( unless something needed fixing) but I would have cleaned it before the event.

Road bike gets a melted wax lube. Tried it on mtb but it gives out drastically mid ride road lasts about 4-500 miles

Mtb whatever merlin *advise as they all seem much of a muchness to me.

* the bike shop not the wizard

Had to delay my attempt due to a cycling injury.Assuming one can call stubbing your toe on a, left in a stupid place, crank in the dark whilst going for an old mans sleep pee a cycling injury... My little toe is probably broken.

Ta seems a number of different ways into maps via profile ( or via navigation) but it's just not listed there.
Tried synching with Garmin but made no difference.( tubeless worked first time though)

Edited my response then saw your post but it is in that folder as I downloaded then transferred( and just double checked) . When I get to select maps, on the unit, only Garmin ( free) ones are listed I have added OS to other garmims but never maps to this ( ie not a total moron but not highly skille...

Plug 530 into computer Done that but it's not listed in my maps when I get to the list( it's definwtly in the Garmin folder as I can see it listed on the PC No idea if I am the issue here ( never tried to add maps to this unit. If you really want ( but I assume you have tested this) I can put it on...

Idiot question 2 how do I get this on to a Garmin 530

Lucky you it's forecast for two days rain whilst I do mine over the weekend. ( pretty bad 7 ish onwards and over night).

My double ended bag is not even as my winter sleeping r bag is too big so gets stuffed at one end and the rest goes in ( being soft and not fully compressed. This side will then squash when I pull the harness straps) It's more important the weight is even than it looks even You could take the cape o...

I dont think we have any Tory MPs on here
