I’m after a gpx file for the welsh coast to coast route for some arm chair planning. I know there are several versions; is the consensus the one put together by Ian is the best of the bunch?? How long do you want to be out for? What % of off-road and how technical? Hey Matt, have you still got the ...

Mate of mine when we rode the Alps had the same issues with hotfoot has since bought wider fitting shoes, but also reset your cleats back as far as you can, hope this helps you out

I'll keep my eye on this thread as I'm also in the market for a new mat getting a little fed up of falling off my Numo now tbh

Used DHB shorts for several years and then switched over to Endura Pro260 shorts owned for 2-3 years now, they've had heavy ish use covering aound 6-7000 miles a year but recently the pad split right on the gooch on 1 pair so I've replaced both pairs and the misses bought me some Pro SL Endura bib s...

I cannot wait. Lockdown has meant I've managed to get out for more day rides than usual but not being able to strap the gear to the bike and "do it properly" for over nighters has been very frustrating. The question is, where first? Reckon the Clwyds are winning so far. Still waiting for ...

Depending how big you want the tyres to go up to, the Trek Domane (the 2020) in carbon sounds like it may work I use a Domane and I think without guards you go go up to 35mm & 32mm with guards fitted probably more clearance on the Checkpoint both good bikes tbh Diverge looks tasty too. personal...

I have the Numo and find it a little uncomfy, it maybe me but I just find myself moving around alot on it and its quite slim as well. Currently looking around myself at the moment.

I'd say if it doesn't crab like an old Mini with goosed subframes just keep riding it, probably be fine or a repair would be easily sorted and wouldn't take much from someone who knew what they were doing

I don't personally own a fat bike nor have I ever ridden one, but do you really need a suspension fork up front with the tyres ?? I'm guessing its all about the terrian your riding right

Watched that last week, Bloody good too

Lots of things enter my mind and should really write stuff down as I'm a bit forgetful so my other half tells me, some stuff I forget forever some stuff comes back.

A lovely pair of XR2's for the Procaliber and a Elite custom race bottle cages as the carbon bontrager ones got to a point where they were wearing through bottles on rides

3yrs is all they lasted, cheers posty

What are peoples views on taping up the frame on a bike packing bike for protection from bags rubbing etc, or do you like the bike to bear the scars of adventure. I've only ever taped my go to carbon xc ride but not yet bothered doing the Big Bro as its not like I'm going anywhere just yet ??

Majority of riders of that era were taking some drug or another anyway, the sports rife for PEDS just like most sports I guess. Think the sporting passports is a great idea but I was reading something a while back about micro dosing which allows some athletes to stay under the radar with small amoun...

The key is to keep riding after you've broken something...

I did for 6 mile to get home then did some Peter Kay running for 3 weeks which was pants but saying that so was the weather

Would love a BB200 this year, last time I entered (2018) I crashed and broke a shoulder so that was that. fingers crossed everything okay by time it comes round.

Somewhere
The night is on the run
With a bottle of ouzo
And a rusty gun
The north wind
Is like a Spanish Guitar
Soaked in petrol
Burning on the bar

Love Cat Empire, great band

Thats what i've got at the moment, good price & not a bad build quality either. the 2 man also looks a good one too to be fair
maybe a purchase on on eof them too so the lad can come out with me in the future.

Chinese copy of a Lunar solo, before that I used a 3f UL gear 1 manner both weighing 750 ish grams and both work well tbh for the money paid I cant really complain about either, kept me dry on many occasions.
