Nope, one mounts the light - Plug3 and it's internals. The other raises up the eTrex which is now glued to it's bracket and has the back Dremmeled to get to the quarter turn screw for the battery compartment.

Bored. Stupid tapering. Writing kit lists for you all. Bike breakdown here:

That is partially how I remember 2013. And most any other multi day ride. A race to find pizza.

Not going to be hard in the USA I suspect :)

I'm expecting the route to Fort A to be harder than last year; Huw took 12 hours to the top of the Corrieyarrick, and went on to do a solid ITT time. To me that gives every indication as to its perceived difficulty. I've ridden the new southern loop and don't expect to be in FA in time for pizza on...

I don't understand what Dr Howard meant when he stated that, “In scientific terms there was no difference whatsoever… but in practical terms the 29er was faster.” No mathematical difference from the statistical analysis software – what does that mean, other than they wasted a lot of money on all th...

Published on Jan 23, 2015 After years of arguments and speculation as to which mountain bike wheel size is fastest, we tracked down someone who's trying to prove it... with actual science! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vhS1HfvBeYA I was one of the subjects for that study :) They we're certain it ...

It definitely works through a layer of VX fabric.

Should work through cuben then.

Works through jersey pocket and two layers on top too. A layer of not metal impregnated fabric will be fine. IE, don't build a Faraday cage.

In case you don't know BB7 Road brakes - not ideal with MTB style levers - the throw is different and braking is poor.

Do it, there is a market for it.

Tiny market mind you. But one none the less.

That looks like a perfect balance really! Get out there now :)

Wouldn't bother, they've been grumpy anytime I've gone through there.

I've previously cabletied one to the straps of a tiger - works fine.

Spocket if your using a rear bag.

Or, copy this one like I'm going to be this weekend: http://bikepackersmagazine.com/bedrock-spot-harness/

I checked - they don't post to the UK :(

That'd be your problem so

There is an option in your Garmin menu to change mapset....somewhere.

The base Garmin map is awful.

Interesting route Phile, I'd not thought of going that way!

Man....I still have my original SP when they first did the 15mm bolt through. Zero issues yet. Guessing it's had a bit of use too? None of mine lasted longer than 5 months or 5,000km. But 18 bikes and Ison were ace about it. Three wheels rebuilt at Ison's expense. Then when I bought the son from SJ...

And then we had Topo maps - after much cursing with Basecamp on my Mac:

Personally, I think it's an amazing value fat bike. Doesn't look too bad either, not make colour scheme but certainly wouldn't put me off it

Don't see the need for what riding I do, tis all. Don't particularly like the look of it, not entirely sure why.

No Look May. Imagine we've all clubbed together to buy you a gift and its either this or a stooge. So you'll need to choose one of them. What'll it be? :???: Oddly, Stooge. Need a nice windchime ;) Nah, I jest. I just don't get the whole fat thing. Not unless it's for racing in cold places. Which I...
