Re: Custom made frame bag recomendations

Thanks Guys
Have went with restrap. Straightcut looks really good and I'm sure the end result is top notch but I just can't justify the cost.

Re: Do you drive your chain inot the ground?

After failing to keep an eye on my chains for years and always having to replace cassetes I turned over a new leaf and bout a decent park tool chain checker. Now I keep an eye on them and change them at 0.50 or just above 11 and 12 speed. I only buy the cheap sram chains about £13 as don't see any b...

More pondering on this. Is there a route suitable from Glenfinnan to kinglochhourn without going up the canal then cutting accross from Invergarry so more up the west side? I see a couple of options but not clear on terrain?

I've had a few road bikes and only experienced this on two. One was when mudgaurds were fitted Never a problem wi...
