Hello people, just a quick one. Has anyone used or considered using a small flask whilst out riding during the winter months, liking the look of the the Earth Well 355ml mug looks the part and with no cafes open during lockdown maybe a good investment and something to use goin forward any thoughts ...

Don’t underestimate the weather in Iceland. It can be brutal.

Recommended service intervals are just a tool for denying warranty claims.

I received some post today, one of those gas adaptor valve thingies to fill from flat gas to flat gas that was linked on here the other day

Don’t you just end up with two equally flat gas canisters?

Use contacts.

Dartmoor national park seem to be advising that wild camping will be ok from weds.

I have the axis. A little more grunt than the joystick, enough to use on its own without a bar light.

Alpkit gourdon is crude but comfy as long as you don’t overpack it.

I seem to recall hardknot being fairly unpleasant.

I often wonder whether waterproof trousers are worth having. That's gonna depend on where you live and what weather you ride in. Cairngorms in Winter, they're often not optional. Colin... looks like JohnnyStorm has just endorsed them very trousers you have sitting unused... you wanna sell em on to ...

Wolf tooth valais’s are pricey and hard to get.

I’m seem to recall someone on here makes them?

Anyone know who?

That’s what happens when you award a contract to the lowest bidder.

Not sure which forecast you’ve been looking at but this weather system has been in the models from a long way out.

Damp, rolling roads of Dartmoor.

My mk5 axis is 23.8mm, I believe they are the same centre o/d as joysticks.

I have a towhee https://towwhee.com/ that I use with my 8yr old son at trial centres etc. It makes much more stuff accessible to him and gives me a good workout up the hills. You can probably frig one yourself for a much lower price but the towhee works really well, just the right length and amount ...

Bellever has always been problematic, be interesting to see how they try and enforce it.

If it’s anything like Dartmoor, where you are legally allowed to wild camp >100yds from the road for most of the moors , they will be after the easy pickings camped next to their car, next to the road.

Dartmoor National Park have some pretty clear and fair guidelines as to what they consider wild camping:

https://www.dartmoor.gov.uk/enjoy-dartm ... es/camping

Doesn’t mean it doesn’t get widely ignored.

Scottish access laws are required - I dont know a single person walker or cyclist - who actuall obeys the actual laws and they are utterly unenforceable Even on Dartmoor where we have plenty of open access land and reasonable wild camping laws, cycling is specifically excluded from the open access....

Even water?

And links up with the track from jays grave if you are coming from hound tor direction

The one slightly south is betterer

Got a file open?

I have some madison waterproof trousers with zip off lowers. Been impressed with them so far. Tempest maybe?
