Yea these are really good

+3 for the Instinct. I've tried Polar, Microsoft, and a dodgy Chinese GPS watch in the past. Instinct is by far the best. I'd have gone for the solar if I had the money, but the standard version holds charge for over a week with 2 or 3 activities, or much longer if you only use it for sports.

Just bought one for under a fiver:

Fantastic quality. Good for walking or cycling (as they have ankle poppers). Fit someone with a 34-36" waist and 32-34" inside leg. Cost £85 new. Used but showing only minimal signs of wear (because I've hardly worn them!). I bought to walk up mountains but I live in Surrey and apart from ...

I think the chap who posted it said that he used it with a seat pack but not the bottles (as the mounts are facing the wrong way). I wondering if some careful heating and twisting could bend the ends 90ish degrees outwards to essentially replicate the WOHO one. For £9.99 I was thinking of having a go.

Someone posted one of these the other day as a alternative:

I can pick it up and send it on for you? Message me if I can help.

Hello from another southerner. I'm in Farnham so on the KAW also. :-bd I have an uninsulated Moutnain Warehouse :shock: air mat for summer and a 20 year old Thermarest for the other three months. Quite fancy a Synmat but never got around to buying one. The MW mat has been better than my old Alpkit N...

No 'poo here. I stopped at uni 25 years ago when I had fairly long hair. Started when I had a few years doing manual work, then stopped again when i return to the office. So long as you thoroughly 'wash' it through with water everyday then you'll be fine. Also don't use styling product. I wash mine ...

I think a cull is what I need. I'll probbably stick the gravel/tourer up for sale soonish but keep the full suss until after my yearly South Down Way trundle and then clean it up and get it sparkly for a new owner. That will leave me with a big travel full suss for days in the mountains and my lovel...

On the subject of long covid I've been struggling since April 2020 but really thought I was fixed about 2 months ago when it felt like a pop in my chest and my back pain went Instantly while out jogging, ive recently ran 2 hardmoors events and the 3peaks only steady but I felt OK, but yesterday whi...

I've decided after 16 months of struggling with long-covid, that is triggered to a certain degree by stress, I need to simplify my life a little. One of the needlessly complicated things I have going on is maintaining 4 bikes when in reality I only need two (or possibly three....). But I really don'...

I'm on my second one of tehm. I lost the first.

They are very good and I'm quite fussy about my pillows.

Yup I've got a pair. Message me!

I turned a Ramin 3+ and a Planet X XLS into Decathlon Riverside Touring 920 Adventure drop bar bike. No regrets yet.

Also got some Alpkit Bombers should anyone else require!

A group of us signed up using the 5 for 4 discount but we've had a drop out and now have a ticket spare. https://www.tickettailor.com/events/gorrickmbc/496217/?fbclid=IwAR1PiMIYaSPvuM3NsdZ0_Oh7eOvtEBvdT1s69-fmCr1aIrGhwrNUVAZyn14# facebook.com/heathtrailbikecamp/ No names on the tickets so all easily...

Interestingly I had to call an ambulance yesterday. Speaking to the operator I immediately said 'I have the What3Words ref.', she said no thanks and asked me the what road I was in, which I then looked at the map on teh What3Words app to give her. I was in central London though, so maybe things are ...

Still enjoying mine. I think the review is fair. The head angle can make it a bit twitchy. I've never noticed an issue with the BB drop. I like the bars. I've swapped the tyres for some Hutchinson Toureg 700x45 which roll a bit better. I put a cheap under seat lever dropper on it which helps on the ...

Could it be that they aren't bothering investing in the intellectual property because it all get's copied and sold cheaper on AliExpress 9 months later?

Well if it's any consolation I can barely keep my eyes open today after a very chilly night. I seriously underestimated how cold the ground was. I took an uninsulated sleeping matt to save space/weight over my Thermarest and spent the night feeling all my heat draining into mother earth. Eventually ...

Thought of something else...

- Love Mud (Sonder) Bomber flared drop bars.

Bah!

How about swapsies for a nearly brand new pair of these bad boys in XL:
