Do-it-all gravel tyre
Hello. I'm looking for new tyres for my soon to be new wheelset. I'm not looking for anything niche, just good all rounders for a 50/50 split of paved and unpaved surfaces. So one tyre for everything. I'd rather avoid WTB due to very poor experiences in the past. 700c in the 45mm ish range, ideally....

The reason for that is that I've realised that I no longer care about my actual bodyweight metric. My cur...

Re: What's the default GPS recommendation nowadays?
FWIW, I use an old Samsung S7 phone, in an SPconnect case (similar to quadlock, but more robust) this makes it waterproof and provides a clamping mechanism. I mount it on the stemcap on the gravel bike and stem on the fatbike. Yes i uses the SP system but the phone cradle[waterproof phone] - its in...

Re: Mtb/flat pedals
I used to use Love Mud (Alpkit) Jekyll SPD single sided pedals. Recently I've gone to flats and ditched SPDs altogether.
The Jekylls have been well used, but you're welcome to them for free if you want them ? But, if you want top quality, I'd go with the Shimano T8000s Ton recommended.

I appreciate that Stu. I'll do some measuring and let you know. It's for the carbon Poles you made me last year.

Hello.
For those familiar with the area, what would be the suggested route to cycle from Glasgow City centre to Ardrossan? NCN route 7? Ayr Road? Other?

Re: 2023 - Plans, rides and things to look forward to
So I ticked off a few of my '22 ambitions, but not all. Here's the '23 list. Get to my target body weight, and / or body shape. Do the WRT, obviously. Sort my gear out to make it 3-4 season compatible and maybe start BAM. Do more bikepacking with my son. Myself and a couple of other boners plan to d...

Re: Fat Fighters '23
I'll be weighing in on Friday. I'm sticking with 2022's goal. However, I'm also considering tracking lifting goals too, and not worrying about loss of body weight so much.
