Re: Winter Gloves
OK - so I commute to work in Norway by bicycle and we have proper winters here, but also have more clod and wet days than full on cold and dry. As you all know, cold and wet is the worst possible combination for gloves to have to protect again. So what do I use for winter: My go to gloves (the ones ...

Re: Tubeless recommendation for fat bike
Just google "ghetto tubeless fatbike" and you have all the information you need. Gaffer/gorilla tape or split tube, or even keep it tubed but go with 26 x 2.6inch DH tubes (my preferred option as its lighter). Most folk will be gaffer/gorilla tape, some will use the split tube..... I have ...

Re: Wtd: Hooped Bivi Bag
My experience of the O.R. Helium - as long as its windy its OK but as soon as its only a light breeze, the condensation takes over. Yes its light, yes its very compact, yes it works, but its a long way from perfect in Welsh "real world" conditions.

Re: Racing in Norway anyone?
