Signs up and declares his interest.

Polaris never ending sale items purchased and received ....they will be perfect for next summer

that is the key the faff is in the warmth of your garage /shed /kitchen rather than the wet and the cold of the trail That said if those tyres dont seat next attempt for my winter SS then its time for some cheap tubeless rims as I am now at frustration point - to be fair its not a tubeless specific ...

the lake up on Winter hill sort of off the shooting huts descent/climb?

when i find my tape measure and I will look again later i will get back to you - need to see how different it is from my current one

wot they said
Personally I view a fire like i do riding on a footpath - best avoided but can be done responsibly or irresponsibly

there is never a reason for littering

I assumed he was just taking the mickey with his comment

what year is it ?

I am on the cusp between Medium and large so need to check the actual geometry - currently my cross bike is a medium and my road a large

Interested but what price?

I was thinking of starting a pool to see which is the highest number
DNS
DNF
Finishers

Best of luck you brave souls - i would be DNS

I have yet to receive a PM from any member, asking for me to copy the version,I have saved on my computer - worth doing to anyone who has it has my garmin once broke and it took the SD card with it
Thankfully an SD is both cheap and easy to post

is it safe to say that i will need a "paper map" as well as my wahoo bolt , especially if i'm on a mountain bike in heavy tree canopy I always a take a paper back up [ I smashed my GPS once in the middle of no where during crash]though I often just print it from screen shots from memory m...

I thought it was clear in my post that i was referring to england and I cannot see someone in essex needing boots that will cope with scottish winters..
If it matters I am scottish[ though living in england]

I have the japanthers and they are fine for this country and not had cold feet in mine its not that often[ perhaps in the north of scotland] that its consistently in the temp range -3 to -18 mine ar e one winter old and I remain unconvinced by the zip for muddy off road use but no issues so far Agre...

[quote]Any recommendations for something that could be relied on for a full nights riding?[/quote I never found any that were not very pricey and quite bulky - you will need branded stuff to get that IMHO Personally I just use my Lummicycle rear light of my battery back and have had all night of tha...

as does ebay, and other purveyors of chinese stuff without the middle man, for £2

not sure if they have it in the shop but i can nip in [ Monday] and see of anyone has anything specific they want to know about it

As above have a Genesis so its not on my radar but looks nice enough

In the last year I think I've seen maybe a handful of fully loaded tourers and even fewer lighter weight bike packing setups.

I had never seen one locally [ though i have ridden right past someone bivvying once]then one ride i saw three of them
certainly getting more popular as is cycling

disappointing lack of fire but apart from that good work

I would be terrified of the thing sinking and me drowning trying to save my bike

use the pauls one as for some reason my 11 speed one on my FS [ clutch mech and narrow wide chainring] always drops the chain on rough stuff

Not needed on any of my other setups

they work IME but may not be needed

Is it tubless compatible or not? Either way punctures are going to be a pain to deal with the “centrifugal forces create a self-cleaning effect.” Ah that explains why there is never any dirt or mud on my tyres or rims after a ride and why they are always dry when it is wet Like others i think its in...

time pedals have loads of float - you can actually slide your foot sideways in them
I have a dodgy left knee and shimano used to give me grief

Bit pricey though compared to shimano

If its temporary - ie for the winter- i can lend you a set to see if you get on with them

I will pay that for it - I am not sure whether etiquette means we let the first person who bid have first chance to agree to that or not so i defer to you on that.

Bright solid light a lummicycle one
One flashing one on the seat pack
one flashing half and half so front and rear for the helmet
Two lights for the front - usuay ony one on and the other as a back up.
reflective tape on the crank arms and on the wheels

That article was terrible as was the report as its nothing like hunger games. Looks pretty good really. Agreed you can see his front light lighting up the road never mind his back one so even if it was covered he should still have seen the front one. I agree john we have all had things happen but I ...
