A Drunkcyclist riding shirt, finally found somebody who would post to the UK, and didn't get hit with import duty, yay.

Just connect your new light directly to the dynamo by doubling up the wire connection if you intend to keep it, its what its desingned for. Doing a quick google it looks like the light has some capacitive stop reserve. Your problem is your trying to mix a dynamo powered device with an exposure devic...

For issue 2. Use the multimeter on resistance and without turning the wheel check for a reading across the two hub terminals. This should be very low, mine measures 2.5 ohms. This is the coil of the generator. If there is no reading then the rotation has severed a connection internally, the coil wir...

Your review states 500ma output Stu, but I though I saw 1000ma on the translated site, any ideas?

Cheap as chips and good levers here http://www.wiggle.co.uk/shimano-r400-brake-levers/ have some of these and they come with full set of cables (although they are too short for disc brakes you can use one) The road shifters will be two cogs too short for the required pull for the MTB mech, tried tha...

There's plenty of great pics coming in already.

Steves packed after receiving a lift but is still touring on the route having fun it appears.

Don't expect much other than eating and sleeping Dave
Had a brief chat with him last week on the bike, so I know the form

Confirmed he's round our house next Tuesday, better get the mountains of food in then.
Ready for a low sleep night.
A bit sudden, but really looking forward to providing support, I'm guessing you had to cancel James.

Rode with Steve as he passed by tonight, in great spirits despite a testing day in the rain and now misty cold.
Lights would appear to be an issue already for him, one thing that surely is highly advanced compared to Tommy Godwin's attempt.

So Dave, is there a book due on this next year then ;-)

Rode down to see the man in action on day 1, one hell of a challenge when you think about the fact that even a days inactivity for any reason will create added stress. The fact it "appears" to have become a race is one hell of a twist, imagine riding for 65000 miles for the year, yet the o...

Transcontinental entry is in, so riding everywhere in preparation for that mainly.
And big negotiations to get to Kiwi end to end in 2016 which falls in same holiday allowance year.
Off Road might take more of a backseat.....but then I spotted a potential Welsh 200 thing ;-) Ian

Went for a "how many miles can I do in a day" ride last Easter on road but MTB burlycrosser, I rode to the Severn bridge and back from Northants. 284 pretty chilled miles for a coffee and cake ;-)

Nice but lots of bridleways I know just not there. Would be nice if it included all other bike access routes too.

Having used a Dynamo and home built charger and a Kemo on several backpacking and road tours for two years, here's my thoughts; 1. Not a fan of bullet connectors they corrode to much for me, have had many faults at work and on motorbikes because of them. Sealed waterproof pre-made connectors are che...

Great video dave, comedy gold.
Was hoping you'd got a shot over Badmouth bay, or of the twonks in 4wD's who had driven uphill through the wood only to meet a fence.

head for the lake, shimmering in the moonlight.......... I can wish

Oh for a few nights like those again
And the food is great

Sounds like its going to be a bleak night, I freakin hate walking

Sportspursuit have a deal on short best before date Cliff Buildbars, a really good protein bar that tastes great. I rate them.

My plan is to go on a gokart racing beer fueled night on Friday, get up late and curse myself for having fun. Swear a lot when I realise its a long way to drive to Wales. Start late then probably fall asleep on the bike Saturday night ;-) oh and swear even more if I have to yomp through two many bog...

16 hrs 16 mins I'm following Ian, he knows stuff ;-)

Brilliant, arrived at work today and ridden home in, new favourite jersey, cheers.

Have not even thought about it yet, not even sure which bike to use.
Waiting for the route details then it will spur me into action.

Always loved the look of the Mountaincycles San Andreas, finally bought one after 10 years of lust and it was not a great ride. Then an Ibis Mojo SL became the dream bike, finally bought one of them when the prices dropped, and its been ridden once in two years. Its just art in the garage. (Anybody ...

well done Ian great ride "walk" did you get any northern lights display
