Re: Cane Creek Thudbuster ST or Titanium Seatpost?
Had it just under a year, it’s been great. No real change in seat height it just takes the edge off ( it’s only 20mm max travel)

Diesel? More like the terminator, chunk, chunk,chunk, no change in cadence or perceived effort despite gradient, only got worse with the beta blockers and Ebike, glad that nonsense is over

Re: Devon bikepacking/wild camp
Hi Keith, I might be up for a ride. I’m currently sat in kings nympton ( nr South Molton) but normal residence is Oxfordshire. Not really ridden much in south Devon, hopefully it’s slightly less brutal than the north. Realistically I’d be looking at late February/ early March but I’m always keen for...

Extreme road rage
Today I had one of the worst example of cyclist hate I’ve experience to date. Cycling out from Morton-in-marsh on the A429 I suddenly had a car leaning on the horn behind me, at the time I was roughly two feet from the curb and very well lit. The driver then executed a ‘punishment pass’ at a distanc...

Well... a set of curve Walmer bars at 550 width, a pair of paramo trousers which are typically paramo, ie during today’s 5 hour ride in the pissing rain, were comfortable yet not completely dry. It’s a paramo thing :-bd Of course these gifts were from myself, I also got......socks, smelly stuff and ...
