Re: garmin and multiple cadence sensors

As above, I can't see why not. I have more than two bikes set up on a 810. I have had two bike been ridden at the same time, only one logged on to the 810 and had no conflicts or noticeable interfertence.

Rich,

Ffy has decided that her current cx race bikes are fine (having made some changes to bars, stem and seat post), so no longer wants the Guerciotti, sorry for wasting your time.

Well done. Glad to see you messed around at km 210 - 211 and followed the route, a great bit of energy sapping. My understyanding is that the lefthand route is acceptable :wink:

Re: taking a bike on a train info req

I used my bike bag 2 years ago doing exactly the same thing. Got on the tube after meeting the family at the end of the event no problem, whilst they turned away normal bikes at the turnstiles. Smug feeling with the prior planning.

Re: garmin assistance req

Mike,

You need to put the files in the folder called 'NEW FILES' the Garmin will then find them and show them in 'courses'. Normally the Garmin sets up the folders itself. Double click the Garmin folder on the SD Card and the New Files folder should be in there.
Hope it helps.

Hi I can't confirm any closures, but haven't noted any problems from other sources. The bridleway is of solid construction for it's main part there and I believe it is an existing bridleway, not just created for the TPT. It's not a major problem to nip down the main road and along the parallel bridl...

Cheers Greg & jam bo, thanks for the replies.

I am just going on the info I have found on the web. I'll drop Beth a message and see, I have a carbon world cup frame which is slightly different to the std frame, and the shock is a lot closer fit than the photo's.

WTD Salsa Spearfish Frame Bag

Hi,

I would like a Salsa Spearfish framebag for a large frame if you have one sat gathering dust. I have a Specialized Epic large that should equate to a large Spearfish.

Gari, I presume it was worse with the Praxis cassette? Wide range cassette + standard rear mech = more noise than normal due to the larger chain wrap and out off design parameters.
