Re: SPOT or InReach?
FWIW I opted for an InReach Messenger. I’d rather have more in-contract tracking included than they do with their basic plan but everything else about it suits me. It’ll integrate well with my other Garmin devices and I didn’t think I need the extra nav capability that comes with the Mini 2. The lac...

Re: 29+ Tyre Jamboree
Oops. Thanks for that. Good to know. I did some trawling and couldn’t see any 29x3 anywhere.
I guess I can’t retire after all….
Price drop ahoy!

Re: Do-it-all gravel tyre
I've been running Shwalbe G-one Ultrabites on my gravel bike for the last 12 months, great tyres, would definitely recommend The Ultrabites are the chunkiest variant of G-one? I think so. They are good and grippy but the rubber is quite soft and so they wear down quickly ime. Maybe not the best for...

‘An other religion’ may interpret it as the Eye of Providence - a good thing as far they’re concerned.

Re: Dynamo lights
An Exposure Revo needs a lot of spinning if it’s been unused for a long time - think it charges a capacitor/battery/something before the lamp lights. Maybe a K Light is similar?

Re: SPOT or InReach?
If it works the same way as standard crash detection does on Garmin then it will give a warning and count down to sending the notification.
Not totally convinced by it as a feature per se but it offers something SPOT doesn’t.

Re: SPOT or InReach?
The InReach would sync to my Edge or Forerunner device and therefore could be set up with ‘crash detection’ which would automatically press the SOS button. I realise the system isn’t perfect but it’s another tick for Garmin.

Re: FS Surly Krampus Frame L

Re: SPOT or InReach?
What telephone prefix do you get with InReach?
Is it +44 - a UK number? SPOT apparently is.
Edit - I just found this link:

SPOT or InReach?
I recently had a mid ride crash that left me with 3 broken ribs, broken scapula and a cracked humeral head I was on my own and needed to self-extract from Dartmoor. No big drama, I got to the road ok and then decided to carry on to reach my car rather than wait for help to come to me on a cold wet d...

FS Surly Krampus SOLD
I’m in the early stages of getting ready to sell a 2013-2016 era green Surly Krampus frame. Large. It’s old it’s had a good life and lots of bags attached to it. It’s structurally sound and the paint is fairly intact. The head badge is worn but it still looks nice in a well loved sort of way. It has...

Re: Front derailleur with integrated cable stop
Thanks all. It’s a pretty hard Google mining task this but there are a bunch of Shimano fd’s that have the option of a complete outer cable run but I don’t have Shimano shifters.

Front derailleur with integrated cable stop
I need a front derailleur with an integrated cable stop to use on a modern bike with no frame stops.
Ideally SRAM (that’s what my group is already) 2x10.
Anything considered however, what about the Shimano GRX one?

Re: Adders- Dartmoor and Exmoor
Adders on Dartmoor = yes
Chance of seeing one = very low.
It’s the ticks you should be worried about, that and the Hairy Hand.
