Re: What powerbank

I have an Anker, I'll stick with them after they replaced my unit that got buggered during a river crossing on that really nasty BB200 before lockdown as a gesture of good will, was open with them what happened and asked if repair was possible?

Rigid MTB?

I get so confused with all this lingo :grin: :cool:

Re: King Alfreds Way.

I did it in one go a couple of weekends ago, bigger grippier tyres would be much nicer.

I did it on rigid adventure bike 29x2" and that was ok

I got an email a couple of days later apologising and they sent the bottle a couple of days after that. I now have a bottle and spare fil...

Yes, gets it done :grin:

I believe indoor is allowed but as Stu said probably defeats the object a bit, that said 500km on a trainer, I'd rather be out in bad weather😅

But as with many things, out of stock for now :roll: Keep an eye on Banana Industries site, they have good prices on Vittoria tyres, when in stock. Got mine for £17 ...
