Re: Inspired to Ride Trailer

I think the trouble with both previous films has been the amount of 'Americanism'. I know it's a different culture but I find it hard to swallow and even harder to take seriously (people being deadly serious, deep and introspective is actually funny) but hopefully ITR will present a wider spectrum o...

Re: Todays ride

Todays ride had me down paths I'd not travelled in Shrewsbury...if it was a red line on the map, I'd try it. Interesting to find where they went, often popping out meters away from somewhere I regularly travel. A sniff under 20Kms of exploration within the town limits/Bayston Hill area. I love ride...

The Cumulus quilts aren't the widest available but even so, draughts aren't really much of a problem. If you were really concerned, strapping it to your mat should rule out the possibility.

Re: The Smoke Ring - loop round London

If the book's similar to the north south divide one, then you'll need to spend a while plotting the route either on paper or on screen to generate a gpx file. The route instructions in the book are very much TL onto BW @ 987643, SA onto MR @ 459900, etc, etc.

Re: Long Shot - Adult Trikes?

I reckon this should do the trick Ray. Obviously it's BB mount so there shouldn't be any issues with getting it inline with the chain. I made the plate from 3mm stainless (the standard ones are generally bendy rubbish), I added extra mounting holes for the idler too, so it's fully adjustable. If you...

Re: Wheel change and spokes are touching the caliper..

I'd space the disc, I think Hope make a specific disc spacer.

OR

How about a bigger diameter disc? That should hopefully move the caliper further away from the spokes.

Re: Bivvy a month 2015

Do the handles really stay cool on Ti mugs? No, not really but they cool down within a few seconds. Also is that a home made 'cone' and is the mug resting against the far side of it to stop it dropping? It's a tapered windshield rather than a 'cone' and the mug's sat on top of the stove.
