Computer woes - GPX favour

Our aged MacBook has finally died. :oops: I need to export the jennride route to my old etrex before Friday but the route as download has too many waypoints and the etrex only shows half of it. I don't have access to Basecamp to convert it until I can replace the laptop. Would any tech savvy Bonners...

Re: Summer baggies

I got some 7 mesh ones half price in sportpursuit.

Re: RIP my Dirty Harry - now what?

I recently picked up a lightly used new style whippet. Did a big 9hr ride on it shortly after I built it - I really like it Decently light, nice and stretched out, not silly slack, climbs really well. Not stupidly expensive either so I don't feel I have to worry about putting bags on it or mistreati...

Re: Dropper posts & Seat bags

I’ve been using the Topeka DP Mount for well over a year now, it’s ace Total drop is limited but doesn’t bother me as it still keeps dropper functionality and is better than the pipe insulation I used to use On my bike, as long as your seat collar clamp isn't in the way I can get full drop as it go...

Re: Tall Riders Coat Choices

I'd second what was said about Montane and Rab if you don't want roadie cut.

I'm 6'1 with long arms / skinny and both their mediums usually fit well with long arms.

I've got a event Montane smock for really shitty weather and a Rab pretext shield one for just stuffing in just incase.

Re: Fast 29er Tyres

Maxxis ardent race 2.2s roll nicely and still have a bit of cornering grip compared to an ikon on the front which is constantly trying to kill you if it sees wet grass.

Re: Crank length

Always used 175s until the new bike came with 165s. Felt odd but kept them on until the first proper long ride which crucified my knees.

Have now replaced with 175s and put the child cranks on the classifieds :lol:

Re: Kam snaps

You'll have to help me out with what a Kam Snap is? As google didn't give a definitive answer. Are they poppers? If they fix in a similar fashion to eyelets then the dies came with the set I bought. The included pliers don't produce enough force with the ones I had, I found careful use of the vice ...
