Due to a new bike/bar set up I'm struggling to get my current bar harness to fit properly. Options have thrown up the Salsa Cradle and Spesh Burra Burra as having quite a decent stand off.
I'm trying to find the spacing between the two bar fixings if anyone can oblige?

Re: Fat grips
Haven't put them on bars yet, but the 55s are HUGE. https://i.ibb.co/yp0KbdX/20210218-133413.jpg 45s look the business though. Really good surface texture too. Miles better than ESI. https://i.ibb.co/0nmrfgG/20210218-133431.jpg Andy, have you fitted these yet? My ESI's are shot and need replacing. ...

Mobi V17 - anybody got one?..
Just picked up a Mobi V17 to get most of the muck of the bikes before they go in the van. Its missing the battery as the previous owner threw it out when it went flat and he just used it as a 12v system. Anybody know what the battery spec's are? I've searched online but have can't locate it. cheers.

Re: Off topic - loading a kayak on a car
Have you seen the rear loaders? Basically stick onto the roof/rear windscreen and you roll it up and over. That way you only have to lift one end up onto the roller with the other end on the ground then just push it up. There lot's of DIY versions around as well. Alternatively a rear roller from a v...

Re: Wattbike Atom
I've got one. Picked it up at the start of the first lockdown second hand (not at the crazy second hand prices that are around at the moment). I really like it, I use it with zwift rather than the wattbike hub. The V1 has a slight lag when powering up or down on Watts (a couple of seconds) which onl...

Re: Cycling glasses... getting old
Problem with laser treatment is that it’s a one off correction of a (in most cases) dynamic change in visual acuity. It will stop working at some point and you will need glasses again. I'd pay that price for 10 years without them Dave, that's what swayed me albeit I paid £1200 in total. Optimax in ...
