Re: lanyard for a Garmin
19mm x 19mm - 99p for 2
Or just a bit of 1.5mm cord, blob of strong glue and use that as a small loop to attach to.

Re: Todays ride
A quick ride to Lauvvik on Høgsfjorden (Norway) over the mountains, with a good mix of gravel roads, empty paved roads and a bit of single track for added variety. You do not get many days like this in Norway, but when they do come, its magical. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/32713395277_4ee7b4...

I am also away working so looking forward to next weeks "scales of doom" weigh in - as I have been very good for the last 2 weeks (OK living off double egg n chips mostly... so that's good in my books ).

Re: Who's got a first aid kit?
And I bet everyone who has been on an first aid/CPR course has been told to phone for help and then do CPR etc.. but did they also teach you about the importance of the proximity to a defibrillator? I have worked in some fairly remote parts of the world where medical help would be at least 14 hours ...

700 x42 - did you actually fit this? And if you did, which tyre? The only reason I ask is I have the same frame (in medium) and run 700x40c G-Ones. Loads of space in the rear but forks are very close with the 40c? the book MAX is 700X38c. For anyone interested in this frame, its a beautiful ride - I...

Re: Nano 2.1 - how grippy?
The Nano's did not work for me in winter in south wales, far to easy to spin out on climbs on "unmade" trails i.e. anything that was not a track of some description. We have a different type of clay soil down here - sticky - and fills the treads way too readily IMHO. On a track/trail they ...

hello Yes I went down the prescription route - you cant get "wrap around" style cycling glasses (normal or "sun") with anything over around -2 (IIRC) which, obviously rules us out. But you end up with wraparound style cycling glasses, with flat-ish lenses behind the outer wraparo...
